Thanks. I wonder why the relay is not showing up in the consensus, it is
sending and reiceving data but is showing this error. ay 16 00:58:51.000
[warn] Received http status code 404 ("Not found") from server '
45.62.242.212:9030' while fetching consensus directory. Heartbeat: It
seems like we are not in the cached consensus. I wonder why might this
might be. Thanks.
