To increase the privacy even more, you could hash the week number + year as well, as well as more things, but for the launch and MVP, we are sticking with hash of just the IP.

Same thing, could be precomputed and cracked easily. Please spare yourself the trouble, because it’ll be useless. And don’t come claiming that your tool respects privacy…

I'll figure something out, not the primary focus at the moment. Probably gonna do something like https://www.simpleanalytics.com/. Nonetheless, visits are not tied to any user except just a hashed IP and I can't "track" them outside the sites using SponsorApp.

Doing analytics always needs SOME kind of tracking, you'll see that it is not a problem, it is FAR better than letting Google track you using AdSense, that you can agree to.

Besides, everything is deleted after 7 days. Do yourself a favor and lower your cortisol levels, your body will thank you when you get older

Lol just having fun at you bragging about your highly technical privacy measures, having a conversation with your alt account, even though they could be bypassed by a monkey on crack. Good point on the cortisol though… good luck with the hustle
