[tor-relays] Unwarranted discrimination of relays with dynamic IP

Good question some of mine are not but then I thought the fingerprint had to be prefixed with a $ sign? I dont see any errors in the log when I use $<fingerprint> or without a $ sign? 

Looking at Atlas the myfamily fingerprints seem to have a $ in front of them? But in man pages it just says 'fingerprint' with no syntax 

Anyway Atlas can take awhile to update - hours rather than days
