Specifically, if a Tor relay is an HSDir it will + publish the approximate number of hidden services that have + published descriptors to it the past 24 hours. Also, if a relay + has acted as a hidden service rendezvous point, it will publish + the approximate amount of rendezvous cells it has relayed the + past 24 hours. The statistics themselves are obfuscated so that + the exact values cannot be derived. For more details see + proposal 238 "Better hidden service stats from Tor relays". This + feature is currently disabled by default.
