All, Consensus weight of my relays and those of others is still near zero, and not improving. For a network that attempts to break censorship, it is peculiar that this is getting so little attention.
Apparently a few malfunctioning bwauth systems is enough to censor specific Tor relays. Endless research and development effort is put in tweaking and optimizing the relay-to-relay communication, but having only a few systems in the world that determine the consensus weight of the entire network does not seem to trouble anyone. Wierd. I hope the bwauth operators can find a way to correct the problem. I am feeling silly spending good money on a high-end server with unmetered bandwidth that has now been relaying a whopping 300 Kb/s on average during the last five weeks.
