  its it possible for relays to silently kill circuits if they want to target a specific onion service with a vanity address
• 04:31
  waywardson
  is it*?
• 04:31
  waywardson
  because this what happened to my node lol
• 04:51
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> What?
• 04:51
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Are you asking about tor relays?
• 04:52
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> If youre sure that is what happened, then i guess the answer would be yes. But since youre asking, i guess youre not sure?

  I mean it just suspiciously was unreachable, even though tor reported no errors
• 04:57
  waywardson
  I will say given the vanity address it can identified to a public ip. So entry nodes could perhaps intercepting the traffic

• 05:01
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> I doubt that tor reported no errors
• 05:01
  waywardson
  I need to adjust tor config then
• 05:02
  waywardson
  theres the logs of my node
• 05:02
  waywardson
  It keeps timing out according to the node tracker
• 05:03
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> What is your current tor logs showing
• 05:03
  waywardson
  I need to add the log option to torrc
• 05:03
  waywardson
  then i'll restart tor
• 05:03
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Node is reachable to me
• 05:04
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> irsdotgovszfg73zsmi5nqguhn66sysmas7…cuaw6so2erwdqd.onion:18089/get_info
• 05:04
  waywardson
  yea
• 05:04
  waywardson
  but both monero.fail and ditatompel cant reach it
• 05:06
  waywardson
  its timing out
• 05:07
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> It shows cake's as offline too
• 05:07
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> their tor is probably wonky
• 05:09
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> I dont see irsdotgov on monero.fail
• 05:09
  waywardson
  show all nodes
• 05:09
  waywardson
  it failed the last check
• 05:09
  waywardson
  this started about 5 hours ago
• 05:16
  waywardson
  maybe its an attack by the Hidden Service Directories
• 05:26
  waywardson
  Im going to check each systemctl restart tor HSDir tor node in the USA
• 05:26
  waywardson
  I will force my torrc to use the same node for entry and middle node
