Comment (by thelamper):

 The fingerprint code (ostensibly a 'uniquely identifying number') on the
 brax.me/geo website does change back to a previous fingerprint sometimes,
 and is sometimes stable. Its very hard to tell. Too many variables.

 Anyway good to know that this is not news to the Tor Project. thanks for
 all the detail.
