-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi,
currently we use globe [1] compass [2] or old school torstatus [3] to get an overview of what relays are around and who might operate them. None of these 'tools' provide an easy way to aggregate relay data to have a look at the bigger picture (Who runs most of the tor network?). I generated* a preliminary overview based on MyFamily data, that should provide an overview of the big tor relay operators: https://github.com/nusenu/misc-files/blob/master/biggest_tor_relay_operators_by_MyFamily.txt (Only the top 15 have names next to them because that was a manual task ;) In the future that table might just be another compass checkbox saying "Group by MyFamily" (or a static page generated once an hour). Note: If you compare this with other overviews that uses contactInfo to aggregate relays https://github.com/nusenu/misc-files/blob/master/tor-relays_by_contact.txt you will notice some big operators are missing. That means that they are not using MyFamily (properly). Also because MyFamily is a cumbersome setting for relay operators there might be misconfigurations** that result in multiple (overlapping) families. Positive side effect: By using MyFamily to aggregate relays, I hope to creating incentives for relay operators to actually configure MyFamily on their relays. MyFamily avoids using multiple relays - operated by a single entity - in a single tor client circuit. Also, relay ops running many "smaller" relays hopefully will become more visible (and receive more acknowledgments for their contributions) [4]. If you are a relay operator yourself, you can easily check if you configured your relays properly by entering any of your relay fingerprints on https://compass.torproject.org (family field). If the search result does not show all your relays then there is something wrong with your MyFamily configuration. regards, Nusenu [1] https://globe.torproject.org/#/top10 [2] https://compass.torproject.org/#?exit_filter=all_relays&links&sort=cw&sort_reverse&country= [3] http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/ [4] https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2015-February/006436.html Moritz wrote: "We still lack the "gamification" Relay Challenge website that Virgil was talking about. It would just sum up all relays of a family, and then it really does not matter any more." *) basically compass -f in a loop has been used to generate that overview. I also required at least two members in a Family - which is a bad idea because you will "loose" single big relays like IPredator - this will be changed. **) This should become less of a problem for relay ops with tools like ansible https://github.com/nusenu/ansible-relayor -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJVDJowAAoJEFv7XvVCELh0obkP/jHJOQdB0KozozObL/j9sJes PezMiV31fONjWt/gEOEe9Gq3HnHW8kAam+ZxEkeGplLv03dYy7ri02EV0T4Rhu2b fxOEQRJKOxOkQbZEU88CThJ4jWBBVxSNxY/OYWaZU8EKz4ofghmd0jWD0kVrFBO+ cp3w//87LGyLkbcrVgSbeHL7DEACpVuIDZf2Ye5k6lFZF7V1NdpJF5RKGGVnmJLj /uylRv4j0eBWdg2FBfTBaQL73N7qWe8bTeG7gAfhfJiQZTX9E9ow4uFbCqlQu5tO KZNG3mfdRMMUFy5Rlhapp0KX3dX0UpIyZ7O2Cg8y6E2gjKCuZVG8Vw+yiBU3XLf+ yN+YE5VlnOBddlvKf6NVIEjPca5KrSgGUjmi+i+eDwEv4QD3/ghjJmxPijtQDahy p0s3EyZodnSVNO6JleXJj7MEFK1bib+zlExYWdRuW4V4RD+5g8R1eqaM1RPUc8WH XPJuFA43EFvWhrYsYu4+1rvlgFJGnB+dUkFai0x4RKt/CmJomOVJK/1ohpHuqafM vRp2hOVXVEn2irhKpl4NtuCvmo3GBx5g9+GC+yjIZAX7bykYuyuBoake6rMuqllX z91uCDYn1rk3ugHVSXzLBOcjU89oH9LLhLos2I+O2QbWMLR1/tFWgzHkfRTvLyNc MME9LEePbOdQq5c6GAV9 =c+oy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
