Add an amount of unique installs for userscripts.
This way you can get a better track of the amount of users, using a particular userscript.

maybe this could be done in collaboration with GM; at install, GM makes a random hash, that hash is communicated to US.O when a script is installed together with the id of the script. I'm not sure how closely GM works together with US.O though so this is just bouncing thoughts around

@anotherjesse: Uniqueness and dynamic IPs are tough but wouldn't an onclick tracker on the INSTALL button bypass any other problems (as auto-updates would be direct, not visiting the page and clicking)

1 IP per count isn't a good idea, in Italy we have a ISP who NAT thousand (or more) users behind 1 IP
besides this every guy with a dynamic IP would be a pain in the ass ...

if you wanna make it accurate, you can't count on IP at all... only way i see it's making login required to install scripts...

Not really. What I mean with unique is the amount of installs based on IPs, so 1 IP per count.

Would tracking the number of logged in users who have installed give you the information you are looking for? This is actually a rather complicated issue since some scripts do auto-updating which mess up counts
