Hi there!

For testing purposes (The Onion Box) I've added a family entry to the configuration of my relay. As this other (family) relay doesn't exist I removed the entry from my torrc again - and thought it would be removed from the onionoo information as well. But - surprisingly - it's still in the data (several days after removal from my torrc).

Is there a way to actively reset that information - or will it be forgotten by the consensus after some time?

The family line isn't in your relay descriptor: https://collector.torproject.org/recent/relay-descriptors/server-descriptors...

Nor is it in the consensus: https://collector.torproject.org/recent/relay-descriptors/microdescs/consens...

It may just be that OnionOO is out of date, or updates family entries on a slower schedule.

Additionally: Tor accepted - without complaining - a false entry. Shouldn't there be any procedure to verify this data?

What do you mean by a false entry? What behaviour are you expecting?

Any use of a nickname in the family line generates a warning that nicknames are not verifiable and that fingerprints should be used.
