I'd rather want to fix/change Onionoo than have you write another service that processes Tor descriptors. There's even a ticket for this, we're just somewhat stuck by arguing about the best fix. Maybe I should just fix it somehow and, if necessary, fix it more later. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/16276 Would that solve your problem? What other problems would there be with Onionoo's data? Can you make a wish list? > * A semi-reliable measure for the magnitude of traffic a relay has > routed.

Actually, consensus weight (fraction) is a fine measure, and I like how you're calling it "bandwidth points" in your prototype which doesn't imply a bits per second or related unit. I'd say assign 10,000 bandwidth points to all relays per day, depending on what fraction of total consensus weight a relay had. To me, it's fine that this doesn't translate to bits or bytes. How does that sound?
