Comment (by antonela):

 hey, thanks for all the answers

 >There are basically five states:
 >The one who wants to become a snowflake proxy (call him D) waits for a
 Tor snowflake user (call him F).
 >D successfully connects to F.
 >F is browsing on Tor so there's data transfer to D.
 >F is idle so there are no data transfers.
 >F quits and after a timeout D disconnects and goes back to the first
 step.


 Great, that gives us:

 1. waiting [white]
 2. no transferring [fuscia]
 3. connected [green]
 4. transferring [green + rotate]
 5. transferring with peers [+1 white + rotate]

 Wondering if we can add a snowflake each time a new user gets connected to
 the proxy/bridge. They will make a cool pattern of snowflakes rotating :)

 I used a .svg so you can change the `fill` color via css.

 The prototype was updated too

 Let me know what is next or if you need any help with the implementation.
