It's a fairly standard thing to do on a fingerprinting website. It helps us group related fingerprints together. It allows us to look at how often repeat users who change their IP could have been tracked using their fingerprint. It allows us to better identify sets of spam fingerprints (although this isn't such an issue since the CAPTCHA was added). -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
