[Nix-dev] Obfuscated TOR bridge is packaged. Please consider running it.

[Patrick Wheeler]

How long does a tor relay/bridge(those are the same thing right?) have to
be up and running before it starts being fully utilized?

My naive assumption is that starting and stoping the bridge every few
seconds would not do anyone any good. So my question how long does it need
to up for it to be worth while?
