do the 800+ UbuntuCore relays constitute a Sybil attack?
The population of these has been climbing for more than a week and no-one has commented, which seems odd. No contact provided. https://atlas.torproject.org/#search/UbuntuCore

See this thread: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2016-August/010046.html So they are not a single unified operator. What fraction of consensus weights are they? I'm under the impression they're running on refrigerators or whatever so most of them have crappy connectivity. --Roger
To be honest, I reckon these UbuntuCore nodes are almost all mundane desktops and server. I think there are only a few added each day, for a total of about one or two thousand that intend to be bridges and relays. Intent doesn't mean they have the inbound connectivity to join the consensus, though. On Nov 28, 2017 17:18, "Roger Dingledine" <arma@mit.edu> wrote:

You can now use Relay Search to find this: https://atlas.torproject.org/#aggregate/all/UbuntuCore Right now, 104 relays across 33 countries and 64 autonomous systems, total consensus weight of 0.1611% and a middle probability of 0.3981%. Zero guards, zero exits. Thanks, Iain.
Thank you for the reply. I missed the post when searching the topic--the relays are a bit unusual and I keep tripping over them. . . On Nov 29, 2017 01:37, "Chad MILLER" <chad at cornsilk.net> wrote:
