# Activities of April 2015 - Posted a proposal about fast-but-not-hidden services: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2015-April/008625.html Received useful feedback as well as lots of discussion on better names for this feature. It seems that Alec Muffet has already written some code for this: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2015-April/008631.html
- Started a [tor-dev] thread on whether popularity-hiding is a security property of hidden services: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2015-April/008597.html - Helped Karsten and Donncha explore the introduction point health of hidden services. It was an interesting project and we hope to summarize our results to the wider public soon. You can find the graphs and results on the ticket: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/15513 - For further hidden service stats, we decided to evaluate the correctness of our introduction point logic by gathering statistics on a few relays. By doing this we hope to improve the performance of hidden services by tuning the magic numbers and parameters of the system. Check the ticket for more info: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/15744 - On the same tone, we started a project for improving those and other constants in the introduction point system: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/15714 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/4862 - Wrote a small patch for the website to mention ahmia in the hidden service configuration page. That's for hidden service operators who want to make their hidden service public and well known. Check the ticket for more ideas: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/15008 I now need to get someone to review the patch and merge it to the website. # Activities for May 2015 - Update the fast-but-not-hidden services proposal with the received feedback. Unfortunately, I still can't choose which of the proposed names I like the most. I think I will just pick one bikeshed color here to move this forward, and figure this out later. - Continue work on hidden service statistics and related activities: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/15513 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/15744 - Try to think more about per-transport-per-country user statistics for obfuscated bridges, and maybe come up with a proposal: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/10218 - Move crowdfunding forward. - Answer more mailing list mails. _______________________________________________ tor-reports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-reports
