Thank you for your suggestion. I hope that is not the case and the drop in consensus weight is just a temporary glitch. I will post to the development mailing list to see if the techies can comment on this. Paying hundreds of dollars of my hard earned money for a relay that is not being used by the network is not something I will keep doing for long. I support the goals and ideology of Tor, but the project will lose me as a volunteer if consensus weight does not restore soon.
