Yeah, I know about Tor already of course, but I also want *more options* (at least so that any critical bugs in one of the options doesn't automatically put *everybody* at risk), and there's also a few too many things I don't like about Tor. I know a lot of it can be fixed, but it would also require a lot of work and time to fix (even if just to make sure nothing breaks). Such as relatively small keysizes for hidden services (1024 bit RSA), those short .onion domains (just 80 bits?), some of the details on how it handles the circuits, etc... I would prefer to see something new written from scratch, even if it would be based on something that already exists. At this point, if anonymity is absolutely critical for you, I don't really trust any of the existing options for much more than one-off usage like quickly checking something or quickly uploading some document rather than for live chat (IM or IRC) or continous browsing.
