People also set up lots of onionsites for testing and other reasons. At one point, Andrew Lewman (Tor's past ED) scripted something to create 5000 onion addresses to see how long it would take to generate. While working on Stormy, I generated a few hundred onionsites just during the testing process.

Is this just an error or something else going on? It might be true, I set up a .onion domain some time ago. And it might be the other way round, people might be setting up fake sites. -- _____________________________________ < Do what you like, like what you do. > ------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || || -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
