Onionbalance (OB) was invented by Donncha during a GSoC many moons ago. Back then OB only supported v2 Onion Services. When v3 onions appeared, the Tor network team took over to add v3 support.

Thank you to the following contributors and others for their invaluble help and advice in developing Onionbalance along all these years:
