[ text/plain ] Hi,

I thought the project idea had already been depreciated in favor of counting unique users by directory fetches. No?

Yes, we do count unique users by directory fetches for the "active Tor users" metric: https://metrics.torproject.org/userstats-relay-country.html

But we also use in-memory data structures tracking IP addresses to count unique users per-country: https://metrics.torproject.org/userstats-bridge-combined.html?start=2017-11-...

I was not aware that we are planning to deprecate the latter in favor of counting directory fetches. Did you get that from somewhere? Perhaps it could make sense, not sure.

Cheers!
