Hi Roman,

I currently have my 0.2.4.17-rc installations set to this:

UseNTorHandshake auto

Although I can't be positive it was related, I first tried a setting
of 1 on that, and had to eventually reload the relay's configs after
changing this to 'auto' because it was stalling at starting up - seems
a lot of the relays it 'knows' to talk to (or whatever is going on)
still don't do NTor.  As soon as I did so, it started right up like
normal.

So, we need 0.2.4.17-rc and higher relays out there in much greater
numbers first, I think.

I think so, once it's viable :)

Best,
