Wow, I'm only up to 4.4.
- So I'm the only DAU in this survey ;-)
- Exit operators (some of whom have been to jail). are the ones most expected to disclose their data.
- A trusted group, exceeding a certain percentage of the total consensus weight most people find worse than a single operator running multiple relays using different personas and alias? Yes, more distribution is nice. But I'd rather have NTH and quetzo in my node list than the next KAX17.
Whether now after the reports about 'Operation Liberty' where it was about detecting onion services¹ and guard nodes, the answers would be the same?
¹All node types are involved in hidden services (guard, middle, exit).
Every assistant admin at Hetzner and OVH can monitor a significant part of the Tor network. In addition, Netflow data is transmitted to anyone who can pay for it. But well-known relay groups are the bad guys :-)
