It's normal for consensus weight to vary a bit, as network conditions change.

If you send us your relay fingerprint, we might be able to help a bit more?

Thanks Matt. I agree that most people who want to automate connections
through Tor using many different exits are probably not doing it with
the sustainability of the Tor network in mind. That is, maybe they
think of the Tor network as this magic huge anonymous thing that they
can do anything over, but the reality is that sustainability is a huge
deal since ISPs and websites form opinions about Tor based on their
experiences with folks who make bulk automated requests.

And see also
https://blog.torproject.org/call-arms-helping-internet-services-accept-anonymous-users
for the same issue from the other side.

So: Mike, please think deeply about whether your planned activities
would be spoiling the party for all the other Tor users out there,
who want to be doing ordinary web browsing and not get punished when
websites freak out and try to block your requests.

Thanks,
--Roger

[tor-relays] Bridge on Raspberry Pi Zero

[skarz]

What is the current support for running Tor on Rasbian, and is running a bridge 
on a Pi Zero feasible? I vaguely remember there being repository / package / 
dependency issues with Raspbian last time I tried.
