Hi,
roster's recommended tor version check seems broken, example:
http://tor-roster.org/family_detail/963ADC0137505151C1AFA6757DD2367EDEEC7B62
Runs Recommended Tor Version For All Relays: false
but all relays run 0.2.4.27 - which is currently a 'recommended version' as per https://consensus-health.torproject.org/#recommendedversions
Why does that family has a exit bw badge if it doesn't provide any exit relays?
Displaying guard probability would be nice.
Do you consider in-family diversity so important - even though all of them are run by a single entity anyway? How about having a badge for tor network wide diversity? I'd consider the tor network's overall diversity far more important than in-family diversity because clients won't use more than one relay of a given family anyway.
Entire-network diversity is obviously more important than within-operator diversity---no doubt about that. We are doing within-operator diversity simply because the it's easier to measure/understand. I agree that measuring a family's relay diversity with respect to the entire Tor network is would be supplementary, maybe even strictly better. I am already logging relevant data, namely the number of relays per country and total CW per country (as you suggested previously). The former stastic could be used for badges like "First relay in country X."
More than 4/5 of the family's CW is located in countries with a cw lower than 2%* (currently means non-top 7 country) and ASes lower than 1.5%* (currently means non-top 8 AS)?
That implies some degree of in-family diversity since a big family would have to spread across multiple countries/ASes
Although there have been some interesting discussions about which ASes to prioritize in putting new relays, an actual concrete numerical measure is thus far an unsolved problem. Virgil and I have talked about using a new tool (http://labs.apnic.net/vizas/) to observe which ASes have more interconnections and award bonus points to new relays on them. When these measures become better established definitely in favor of making badges for them
How about keeping it simple? "All relays run in countries with a CW fraction < 5%" ?
you could simply use compass output.
(perhaps even replacing the within-operator diversity badges?).
Yes, please.
