Comment (by meejah):

 A comment on https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-heart-tahoe-lafs
 (January 6, 2017 by Anonymous) sounds possibly related to this (can't link
 directly to the comment):


 After a series of tests and debugging, I managed to have the test Tahoe-
 LAFS tor hidden service Storage-Client nodes connect to one another
 without a Introducer and only using the servers.yaml file. It appears
 there is a slight bug in the servers.yaml coding which makes it presently
 necessary to add a #comment between the storage node entrys to be
 successful. To save the readers the effort and time I'll paste in a
 working server.yaml file with fictional node names, onion addresses and id
 strings. However the spaces and syntax must be exactly copied if you want
 this to work for you after changing to your Storage nicnames, Onion
 addresses and the Storage key Id strings located after ann: in your
 introducer_default_cache.yaml file.

 example of locating the desired announce string to copy to your
 server.yaml file
 ~/.tahoe/private/introducer_default_cache.yaml

 search for

 {{{
 key_s: v0-admjvlr3czr4w7fact5flbp2r4hawtqg6yz1l542ajrcp2lkyn3r
 }}}

 and

 {{{
 - ann:
 anonymous-storage-FURL:
 pb://hrshycb12ngpiz4qs2jevzvmjsk34zne@tor:abcqea4xsfgpmbac.onion:20100/sm1owyxjoi23fohajeqgdevh7dxrc1mr
 }}}

 Create, add these strings to your new server.yaml file keeping the
 #storage: comment line between each added storage node using a text
 editor.

 {{{
 storage:
 v0-admjvlr3czr4w7fact5flbp2r4hawtqg6yz1l542ajrcp2lkyn3r:
 ann:
 nickname: Someone
 anonymous-storage-FURL:
 pb://hrshycb12ngpiz4qs2jevzvmjsk34zne@tor:abcqea4xsfgpmbac.onion:20100/sm1owyxjoi23fohajeqgdevh7dxrc1mr
 #storage:
 v0-3rpxlixushufwhh4fqnxsitmk1ys4nmusgadjgrtjfb2lk1s34ic:

 anonymous-storage-FURL:

 }}}

 Next, comment the introducer in your tahoe.cfg file #introducer.furl =
 pb:/ and then start/restart your tahoe node which in a few seconds should
 then successfully only connect to your Tahoe-LAFS tor hidden service
 storage nodes without a Introducer.
