How many XMR users have used 60 ring sigs? Or over 24?

I don't know the answer to that.

Im assuming 24 or 60 is better than 3 or 6

In some ways, but there are also overall privacy effects viewing question of blockchain analysis wholistically. If everyone is using 3-6 and coins are constantly being mixed and remixed you are in very good shape because the entirely blockchain is essentially opaque. If you are using 60 and everyone else is using zero, not so much.

Could u hazard a guess how many XMR users have sent with over 24 ring sigs?

I have no idea really. People are experimenting at this stage. Some have used 100+ rings, 10 gets used quite often I've seen in the block explorers.

Nobody is using 0. That's 4 sure.

Sure they are, that is the effect of SDC (transparent blockchain) transactions. They are traceable. Someone earlier claimed they were 99% of all Shadow/SDC transactions, but I have no idea if that is correct.

I was referring to SDC>SDT, SDT>SDT, SDT>SDC and not SDC/SDC (the first 3 all require stealth addys)

Interestingly I first assumed that SDT (Shadow token) to SDC conversions reduced the available anon I/O in the system (since SDC > SDT increases it)
In actual fact converting Shadow tokens (SDT) back to SDC increases the anon IO yet further

could u explain how that works smooth?
