I finally managed to establish a circuit to the market and it looks like Apache crashed, same as the forums did last night (circuit is open, streams through it fail). I wonder if the people establishing connections DO maintain their circuit through the rendezvous node, but Apache keeps crashing and coming back up, giving the impression that the circuit is failing when it is actually just Apache crashing. I have been maintaining my open circuit for several minutes now, but it took me like an hour of hitting refresh periodically before I was introduced. Of course the site looks like it is down, but it is likely because Apache has crashed because the circuit remains open.
