Hi Julien, Thanks a lot for your reply.
I got your point now.. You are right. I am using a DSL connection and my IP keeps changing often.... What i am going to do is setup a bridge instead of a non exit relay and watch how much i can contribute to the community. If all goes well i will buy a Raspberry Pi and setup that up permanently as that's a cost effective way ;) I am also thinking of making a stand alone Pi Onion Router so that all traffic is anonymous but that's a small project which i will work on once this bridge thing works..
