Hi

I'm running the new, imaginatively-nicknamed kingqueenbtnftw relay.

I have read around a lot but something I don't get. I thought advertised bandwidth was what I'd put in torrc whereas consensus weight was what some uber-machines tested my relay at, with the idea that this can foil disruption attacks by false relays pretending to give high bandwidth. SO I expected consensus weight to gradually increase.

What I didn't expect was for the advertised bandwidth to increase by step changes (as shown on atlas and globe). Evidently I've got something wrong. Could somebody please enlighten this poor nub?

By the way, I appreciate that consensus weight is a dimensions number but I understand that it originated as being based on kibibytes per second? If this is still the case, it's currently significantly more than my advertised bandwidth (which is less than that set in TORRC) but appears below it in the graphs?

Thanks to anyone who educates me. I have full intent on both the T-shirts on offer - the standard Tor one for uptime and bandwidth, and the EFF one for still being online in a year with over 1MBps transfer :-)
