About 9500 in the more or less public set.

After ingesting a few crap lists and a project lifetime of actually up onions, I don't have a valid context in metric idea of known minus defunct. Simply seeing an onion name doesn't earn "known" here. Trolling through 100k+ for the up's does. > for onion-dependent software like Ricochet which may not be online Yes published transiently up services are hard to confirm. > [1] https://mascherari.press/onionscan-report-june-2016/ I don't think anyone's ever beat my raw collecting.
