open: very good, traditional, positive word, but with overloaded meaning
For what it’s worth, I like “open onion services” for the reasons Alec stated. “Known” and “overt” seem fine to me, but I like the sound and connotation of “open” better.
Personally, I feel like 'open' has to broad of a set of overloaded meanings and could be confused for one of the other meanings that is not intended. If these are 'open onion services', does that make the others 'closed onion services'?
My vote is for the most obvious, because its name positions it in relation to existing onion services: 'non-hidden onion services'. The traditional onion services would then be known as 'hidden onion services'.
