 Replying to [comment:4 Sebastian]:
 > Hm. What about the fingerprint file?

 If you mean "what about the fingerprint file, can't they use the value in
 that to tell people their bridge address", then yes, but having two places
 they can look increases usability. Before we put it in the log too, some
 people were having troubles finding their datadir and then finding the
 file in it.

 If you mean "what about the fingerprint file, that has a sensitive string
 in it too", then we should ask why we're writing the bridge's identity key
 to disk too.
