Imagine a Tor network where you have only 8 nodes available due to some
reasons. And your hidden service wants 8 introduction points. Everything is
fine but then a node goes down bringing the network to 7. The service will
retry 3 times that node and then give up but keep it in a failure cache for 5
minutes (INTRO_CIRC_RETRY_PERIOD) so it doesn't retry it non stop and exhaust
the maximum number of circuit retry.

In the real public network today, this is unlikely to happen unless the
ExcludeNodes list is extremely restrictive.

History
Tor protects your privacy on the internet by hiding the connection
between your Internet address and the services you use. We believe Tor
is reasonably secure, but please ensure you read the instructions and
configure it properly.

To build Tor from source:
        ./configure && make && make install

To build Tor from a just-cloned git repository:
        sh autogen.sh && ./configure && make && make install
