Comment:
Unfortunately, this is not something we can find out.
The onion service directories reported higher numbers of unique onion
service addresses in their statistics than on the days before. We cannot
say who published these onion service descriptors, or how these additional
50,000 unique addresses were related.
What we can do is look into possible issues on the statistics evaluation
side. I just looked at the underlying aggregated data, and I cannot find
anything unusual. I think the number really went up from around 70,000 to
around 120,000.
If I had to guess, I'd say that these additional addresses are caused by
an application that uses lots of onion services for its operation. It
could be that a new application was announced on these days or that an
existing application was somehow made more widely known. I doubt that
these services are created by a small number of users. But in the end this
is just guessing.
Closing, because there's nothing we can do here.
