Re: [tor-relays] I need to shut down my relay for a month possibly, what should I do

Someone can pick the same nickname even when your relay is around. A unique property is the fingerprint derived from the relay private key. You can shut down relays any time, even or especially over longer periods of time. It will take some time to recover and regain its current status, but don't worry about that. -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/ ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
