Comment (by wagon): > So I'm not sure this is a big problem. You know it better than me. I created this ticket only because you [[http://ea5faa5po25cf7fb.onion/projects/tor/ticket/28676#comment:15|suggested]] it. > Authorities are only chosen as middle nodes, because they don't have any other relevant flags. What forbids DA to become guard? As I know, usual fast relay with big uptime doesn't have an option to continue to be just a middleman, i.e., to not get guard flag. > Only one of the 10 (dizum) has the Fast flag. So the others will be ignored by most clients. Good point. As I remember, nodes without Fast flag are not used for data transfer. Do you mean there can be some old clients which behaves differently? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/28807#comment:3> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
