Re: [tor-relays] Same relay (identity key) on two IPs

[catchthemall <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought the link to atlas page:
https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/5A9B5923F4937C3ED76B0AD4CF1030C11FCAF1FA

might be enough since it includes the fingerprint:

AllquanTor 5A9B5923F4937C3ED76B0AD4CF1030C11FCAF1FA


And as a prove that I am in control of the respective IP I included your
response at the URL where the relay is currently running:
http://89.163.224.212/verifystory/mail.txt

Is there any more information/verification you need?
