Thanks for that info, David. That seems valuable to me. :) However, I am a bit confused about the definition "cell-circuits-per-decile": Mean number of circuits that are included in any of the deciles, rounded up to the next integer. What is the exact meaning of 'decile'? Is it one tenth of

Hi Folks, This is Sky from University of Illinois. Currently we are working on research project related with Tor. To help us to better design and evaluation our proposal, we need some information about the Tor relays that is currently unavailable from the Atlas. Thus, if someone who operates T

Hi All, It looks like Tor currently needs at least two EntryNodes to bootstrap. It hangs when loading descriptors. See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/19989 This leaves me concerned that we won't be able to switch to one guard. (It's also somewhat annoying when I'm trying to test
