Lunchcon took precedence over hallway-with-Roger-con today, but I suggest 17:00

Hope to see some people there!

Thanks - I'll spin up another exit node next week.

Since the Nickname option is merely cosmetic, we can safely reuse an expired

directories, metrics sites, or the network as a whole?

Yes.

Fingerprint is important, name doesnt really matter.

Good morning from Wisconsin,

What are the best practices with regards to moving a Tor node to a
new server in a different country? Is it as simple as securely
transferring files to the new server and restarting the Tor service

Yes :)

You can also delete the old keys and start a new relay.

It's more secure, better for network load balancing, and easier to get it right.

Your new VPS likely has different network performance to your old VPS, and 
transferring the keys transfers the old performance measurements. It's better 
for clients that performance measurements are accurate, even if it takes some 
time for your new relay to be measured.
