It is possible that Weev does not actually know that it takes at
least a few days, and really a few weeks, to build up a Tor-network
profile whereby other nodes and willing to accept significant traffic
from the new node - this is my understanding of how Tor relays work.

It is of course also possible that there is an intended and targetted
clampdown on TDS.

But the first step is to grok how Tor works, and eliminate such a
possibility.

Ultimately, Tor has a crippled TCP underlying protocol/comms layer -
a new UDP (or even lower) protocol layer is ultimately needed so that
a free speech network becomes a proper switched network.  But that's
another of those things that Tor "strangely" keeps failing to get
funding for...
