 * keywords:  prop224, tor-hs, prop224-extra => prop224, tor-hs,
     prop224-extra, research


Comment:

 We can probably use the fact that the HS blinded key is known to the
 HSDir, and that blinded keys rotate at a known time (they change when the
 prop224 time period changes), to produce some sort of "unique onion
 services per day" statistic from hsdirs.

 I'll try to think about how this would work.
