Hello people,
some days ago we sent a mail [1] asking for feedback on our patch that collects hidden service statistics from Tor relays.
Specifically, we are trying to answer the questions: "Approximately how many hidden services are there?" and "Approximately how much traffic of the Tor network is going to hidden services?". For more information see my previous email and the relevant proposals.
Our code [2] got merged in upstream Tor some days ago and now we are looking for more volunteers to enable it on their relays. We will collect these statistics during the next [days] weeks, and in a month we plan to publish a short report with our findings.
Hello,
we have now finished writing a tech report with the results of these statistics. You can find it in PDF form here: https://research.torproject.org/techreports/extrapolating-hidserv-stats-2015...
We are currently working on a more casual-reader-friendly blog post, which will contain additional information that the Tor community might be interested in. You will find it in blog.torproject.org in two weeks from now or so.
