That's yet another aspect I like the RIPE (Atlas) community for: One does very modestly lift one's index finger: "Excuse me - would you mind donating me some of your Atlas credit points for my research?" - and half an hour later the person asking is almost buried under an avalanche of - in this case - at least 175 million points. :-)

No clue how fast one burns through them - never done any measurements so far -, but as there seem to be (much) more on the various shelves there might not be any shortage any time soon...

Cheers,

Hello All,

I am Felix, a Master student at the University of Potsdam (Hasso-Plattner-Institut).

I am working on a measurement research project that requires longitudinal data to validate censorship (at least that is what I want to try). For that, I would like to perform measurements like Ping, DNS, and HTTP.

As it's just the start of the project, I can not yet estimate how many credits I need. For the beginning, it would be great to get some and then go from there.

Therefore, I am reaching out for help. I would appreciate it if some of you could offer me some RIPE Atlas credits. My account at RIPE NCC is on this email: felix.hoffmann@student.hpi.uni-potsdam.de

Best,
Felix Hoffmann
