Hi tor-dev@! Moving the discussion on the future of rendinitialpostdelay from ticket #20082 [1] here.
Transcribing the issue: > At the moment descriptor is getting posted at > MIN_REND_INITIAL_POST_DELAY (30) seconds after onion service > initialization. For the use case of real-time one-time services > (like OnionShare, etc) one has to wait for 30 seconds until this > onion service can be reached. Besides, if a client tries to reach > the service before its descriptor is ever published, tor client gets > stuck preventing user from reaching this service after descriptor is > published. Like this: Could not pick one of the responsible hidden > service directories to fetch descriptors, because we already tried > them all unsuccessfully. > It has jumped to 30s from 5s due to "load on authorities". > 11d89141ac0ae0ff371e8da79abe218474e7365c: > > + o Minor bugfixes (hidden services): + - Upload hidden service > descriptors slightly less often, to reduce + load on > authorities. > > "Load on authorities" is not the point anymore because we don't use > V0 since 0.2.2.1-alpha. Thus I think it's safe to drop it back to at > least 5s (3s?) for all services. Or even remove it at all? The questions are: * Can we drop this delay? Why? * Can we set it back to 5s thus avoiding issues that can arise after removing the delay? * Should we do something now or postpone it to prop224?
