[tor-relays] questions about raspberry pi bridges

"users will need to ‘discover’ your bridge's IP address again, i.e., go
over the process of requesting a new bridge (by email, Moat or https).
On the other hand, Snowflake will discover your proxy new IP and
automatically share with them."

Why? If your ip doesn't change everyday you can run a stable relay with up
to 4MB/s on a pi3.
