Hi nusenu,

The spec isn't done :P Seriously though, no it's not a bug. If you check nodelist [0] you'll see that this type of hex-encoded nickname is normal for generating a descriptor. If you check CollecTor history for the node your mention [1] you'll see the result of building a descriptor. Metrics-lib parses this out in ServerDescriptorImpl [2]. Which then shows up in Atlas via Onionoo in DetailsStatus [3] during NodeDetailsStatusUpdater [4].

I hope that clears things up. (I know I skipped a full stack trace but its C and Java--cut me some slack)
