> It seems that a reasonable question might be: for a home user, with a
static IP, planning to contribute to Tor, which is most useful: should they
just be a bridge; start out as a bridge, and then eventually change to a
relay; or immediately sign on as a relay? Given some responses to this,
might it make sense to construct a tool to tell people when their bridges
should change to relays?
