I think bandwidth weight isn't appropriate for this. If we think the cost of running a HSDir(+IP) is too low, we should increase that directly. This is a good case where we can benefit from the many honest-but-not-well-funded relays. Concentrating even more traffic and information onto the highest-bandwidth relays isn’t an improvement. - John > > > Aaron > > _______________________________________________ > tor-dev mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev
