A word to the wise: Perhaps this is an earnest effort, but it's impossible to tell. From appearances it is indistinguishable from a scam which will accrue a large amount of third party owned bitcoin and either vanish or get "hacked". Promotion on the Forbes.com site shouldn't be taken to signify any evidence of reputability. I've seen first hand that they do not do much research for this sort of thing, and articles there have previously plugged services operated by people known to have stolen from others. Anonymity can an important tool for social good, but it can also be misused people should take great caution in handing over control of valuable information to parties that operate under the veil of anonymity. Many people have been robbed under similar circumstances. The open source Bitcoin client software runs excellently over Tor. If you want to use Bitcoin anonymously its a good combination and you don't need services like this website. The next major release of the Bitcoin software will feature much better support for inbound connections in hidden services and automatic hidden service peer discovery, making it work even better. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
