#19124: Shared Random and Half-Hour Consensuses
------------------------------+--------------------------------
Reporter: teor | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Medium | Milestone: Tor: 0.2.9.x-final
Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version:
Severity: Normal | Keywords:

------------------------------+--------------------------------
My test authority was asleep for an hour, and so it didn't have a recent
consensus. It started voting at 10:30 for round commit 3/reveal 3, but the
rest of the network wasn't voting for commit 3/reveal 3 until 11.
How does an authority recover from this situation if it has thrown away
its state at 1030?
Do we fix this by implemeting #19045 (keep voting for shared random
values)?
Or does that make this worse?
