Do I have to maintain an uptime of ~70 days to see fully utilization then? This relay is on a personal computer with a static IP, so it isn't on a dedicated server or anything like that. Usually my uptime is around several weeks though. I'll be on this same IP for months though.
No, it's ok to be up only some of the time. Most of the question is what fraction of total time you're up ("weighted fractional uptime"), not how long you're up before restarts ("mean time between failure", which is used for calculating the Stable flag).
Or said another way, the more time you miss, the fewer clients will pick you -- it has to do with whether you are in the set of possible choices at the moment when they decide to get rid of a current guard from their list and replace it.
