Working on this now -- we should have Bitcoin support by tomorrow.

Bitcoin isn't anonymous, and if the NSA has infiltrated the various Bitcoin whitewashers (er, "exchanges") it also has your incoming transaction history, to boot.

Bitcoin, like Tor, is essentially a honeypot for surveillance. Better to hide out in plain sight in my opinion.

What evidence have you got that Tor is a surveillance honeypot?

Never forget: ToR is funded by the US government.

So?

If you control both the tor entrance and exit nodes, you can unmask the user. Statistically, controlling 300 nodes (~1% of the network) should be enough to unmask a large number of users. It is not hard to spin up a whole bunch of servers to the mix, and I would find it very hard to believe that the NSA/similar does not already control a substantial portion of the network.

Buy bitcoin for cash, preferably from someone you don't know.

LocalBitcoins.com might come in handy here.

Nice - fast implementation and this should shore up what seems to be by far the weakest link in your (privacy-above-all) offering.
