I think most people figured out they should upgrade to Tor 0.2.4 a week or two ago. A bigger issue is the botnet load combining with the daily user surge in the US daytime, which makes the market difficult to access. I was watching my log earlier today and saw a "200" OK message for the rendezvous descriptor fetch, meaning the market's Tor was up and working, but noticed a bunch of "failed to connect to intro N times" messages, along with another message about waiting for intro-ack at the rendezvous. The message about intros means that the intro points are basically being DOSed by all the users and many of us can't reach them. It may be possible to mitigate this problem if DPR increases the number of intro points, following this: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=153182.msg1063761#msg1063761 The message about the rendezvous point means that the user's client has established a connection but the market's client is failing to connect to that relay. Not sure what could be done about that. It's a product of the load on the market's Tor client from the users combined with the overall load on the network from the botnet.
