 Replying to [comment:3 Aymeric]:
 > Onionoo aims to provide any information that applications like Atlas
 would want to provide to users. We left out cryptographic keys, because
 they're hardly useful for humans. Also, they eat up a lot of space. Is
 there a good reason to add cryptographic keys?

 trying for example http://<hostname>/tor/server/fp/<fingerprint> seems not
 to be working at all with a lot of relays (normal?)

 That URL should work for all relays with DirPort 80, which is only a
 subset of them.  A better approach would be to run a local Tor client and
 grep the cached-descriptors[.new] file.  But most Onionoo/Atlas users
 wouldn't be interested in cryptographic keys, so I think we shouldn't add
 them.

 I think the ticket is useful.  Giving it a more descriptive summary and
 leaving it open for later.
