You can delete my Relay from consensus
Hi, Doubt you need to know this but you can delete my relay: 41D4F82AB54AE5C5FB8D3CD24B4FC84350EFEF03 from the consensus, etc. The price for renewing has gone up 69 per cent from two years ago and it's through put has halved for the last six months or so. Not sure if Tor just doesn't need it as much as it did or if the vps hosting provider (Hostworld) is throttling it. I'll start a completely new one early in the new year when I get some time. This one is dead and the vps hire has expired - I no longer have access to it. Just out of interest is my telling [Tor Project] this useful? Christmas-y regards, Pete

When your relay is shut down, it will automatically be removed from the consensus after a short amount of time.

It's not necessary unless there's an emergency, e.g. your relay or relay keys were compromised and it needs to be blacklisted ASAP. In that case, you send a message to bad-relays@lists.torproject.org.

I'm pretty sure unreachable relays are dropped automatically in a few days (I could find no reference, though), so informing is not necessary. But I guess it's appreciated to know that vanishing is expected.

Maybe you know already, but I'll point out that relays can be migrated to a new system keeping their identity: this way, you shold avoid going through the whole lifecycle again. Anyway, thanks for your commitment! [1]: https://support.torproject.org/relays/running/same-relay-identity/ -- Eldalië My public key is attached. Please, use it and provide me yours!
