Re: [tor-relays] Bridge clients don't *really* update dynamic bridge IPs from fingerprints?

I run two bridges (one is obfs3) off my residential connection (I had to
stop running a non-exit relay because Hulu and other big sites blacklist
tor nodes) and I'd be happy if I had *any* traffic.  Over a two-month
period, with 1 IP change in the middle, I've probably only passed about
100MB in actual traffic.  Sure, I only have about 2MB/s to spare, but I
passed several hundred GB as a relay before I quit.   Surely after this
amount of time, my fingerprint would have been given out a few times. 
Or are bridges simply not used all that often?  There's no problems on
my end according to my Tor logs.

I know this is barely related to your experience, but I've been curious
myself about bridge utilization.
