+Inspired by “the Directory Authorities, the crappy experiment leading up

+report [XXX] of issues he encountered while setting up his own Tor

+Karsten Loesing gave users of Onionoo a “one-month heads-up” that on or
+after November 15th, a major change to the protocol will let the search
+parameter “accept base64-encoded fingerprints in addition to hex-encoded
+fingerprints, nicknames, and IP addresses.” These searches will also
+return relays whose base64-encoded fingerprints are a partial match for
+the search string. “If you’re fine with that, feel free to ignore this
+message and do nothing”, but if not, “you’ll have to filter out those
+relays locally”.
