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.
Thanks, Bram

Weird.

Update: generation of the http://nosur.com/consensus.txt list has completed now, and contains 3683 relays that exist half a year or more. Again the relays at the top of the list show the sharp drop in consensus weight end of december and a short spike around January 6th.
figuring out what happened will likely involve looking at the directory authority votes to see if anything specific happened. One theory might be that the addition of a new bwauth has shifted which vote gets picked for the consensus. It's conceivable that bwauths rate relays which are placed topologically close higher than others. I'm looking forward to any analysis someone might do on this.
