Comment (by dcf):

 Replying to [comment:16 cohosh]:
 > Also noting that mapping unique proxies to IP addresses isn't quite how
 snowflake is supposed to work: we'll probably want some kind of persistent
 identifier later as mentioned in the comments above, but I think it will
 work fine for our purposes now.

 Identifying by IP address is interesting by itself, though. If IP address
 is the expected basis of blocking, then it's interesting to consider a
 proxy's "identity" as IP address because that's the information available
 to a censor. A long-term identity independent of IP address is also
 interesting, but less informative for measuring blocking resistance IMO.
