See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge There isn't a really big difference between them. Version 2 is somewhat more detailed and uses different symbols than Version 1 to represent the measurements of Latency, History and Uptime. Here's a typical Version 1 stats format <http://mixmaster.shinn.net/stats/remailer-list.html> and here's a typical Version 2 <http://www.neuropa.net/%7Egretchen/rlist2.html> . These are in HTML. You may also download TXT versions of each. The file names may vary (rlist, rlist.txt, remailer-list, etc...), but here are the recommended file names: Filename Remailer-Type Format Stats-Version rlist Cypherpunk Plain Text 1 rlist.html Cypherpunk HTML 1 rlist2 Cypherpunk Plain Text 2 rlist2.html Cypherpunk HTML 2 mlist Mixmaster Plain Text 1 mlist.html Mixmaster HTML 1 mlist2 Mixmaster Plain Text 2 mlist2.html Mixmaster HTML 2 Further information on stats formats comes from RProcess' Specification and RFC for Remailer Stats Version: 2.b <http://www.skuz.net/potatoware/PSKB-032.html>. Most users need only consider which stats version their client will read. Here is a summary of the recommended version. Further comments are below. Software Recommended Version Recommended Format JBN1 1 HTML JBN2 2 Plain Text Mixmaster 1 HTML? Quicksilver 1 Plain Text Private Idaho 1 HTML Reliable 2 HTML Jack B. Nymble v.2 and Reliable v.1.0.5 JBN2 and Reliable 1.0.5 can read both types of stats. Pick a format that you like and stick with it. Quicksilver Quicksilver reads only Version 1 stats in TXT format (e.g., mlist.txt and rlist.txt). Mixmaster The operator of Cmeclax Remailer, <cmeclax@ixazon.dynip.com>, confirms that, as far as he can tell, "...Mixmaster 2.9 doesn't understand Version 2 [stats]. I tried it a while ago, and it had no reliability data when I made chains." Jack B. Nymble v.1 Frog-Admin says that JBN1 only reads version 1 stats. In that operator's experience, JBN1 works better with HTML files than with plain text files. Private Idaho As for Private Idaho, there are lots of different variations of this older program. But it's safe to assume that most of them require Version 1 stats in HTML format (e.g., remailer.htm) and won't work with Version 2. Other Clients Be aware that some of the older client software like Potato, Decrypt and Mixmaster 2.0.4 cannot read Version 2 Stats.
