Our next major version has Tor support.


What does TOR add to this ? I would assume that all traffic between peers is encrypted, right ? Also, for physical goods, you anyway need an address. IP anonymity can be useful for digital goods and a layer of plausible deniability I guess.


Traffic is end to end encrypted, but since all nodes are self-hosted (or run on a VPS) Tor gives some privacy. It also protects against denial of service attacks.
