This "TopologyUpdater" service, which was far from being perfect due to its centralization factor, was intended to be a **temporary** solution to allow everyone to activate their relay nodes without having to postpone and wait for manual topology completion requests. - You should **NOT** set up topologyUpdater for your block producing nodes. The topologyUpdater shell script must be executed on the relay node as a cronjob **exactly every 60 minutes**. After **4 consecutive requests (3 hours)** the node is considered a new relay node in listed in the topology file. If the node is turned off, it's automatically delisted after 3 hours.
