Comment (by arma):

 I would also be interested in stats about users and usage (including e.g.
 number of users being handled divided by number of snowflakes handling
 them), but I recognize anything involving the users is a more complicated
 topic, and we shouldn't do things that could put users at risk without
 sorting through what we ought to protect and how we can make sure it's
 being protected.

 So, step one, tell me more about the snowflakes please. :)

 One other concrete thing that I want: how many times are you giving
 snowflakes out? How many times did you stop giving a snowflake out because
 you've given it out so many times already? These questions tie into the
 address distribution algorithm question: it's not clear how to pick the
 right parameters in a vacuum, but we're not *in* a vacuum, so maybe we can
 gain some intuition by seeing how things play out in practice.
