I'd be hesitant to suggest that "onion (tor)" is the best choice of darknet (that in which any clearnet exit feature of same is not used), nor the best to come. However sure, any of todays legit darknets are more attractive than clearnet for many purposes. Darknets are now powerful spaces for generally unobservable communication and collaboration. In particular they seem unobservable to corporations and all lesser entities. [Darknets have not yet proven to be unobservable to the largest passive / active capable governments, of which a few exist. The academic vulnerabilities are documented. There's an active arms race. And a wait for proof.] Physical and other abuse / crime against individual humans seems to not be resulting in any legislative bans of darknet / crypto tech. Meta level things such as crimethink and active markets don't seem to be vulnerable either. Filesharing is an interesting proposition in that, unlike the physical and meta, it offends another class of opponent, the corporation. (Be it of traditional copyright consumer multimedia, or of corporate secrets). So the next real test may be when the filesharers move onto the darknets. Will the corporations expend resources to observe or legislate them, or will they give up?

"If Elsevier manages to shut down our projects or force them into the darknet, that will demonstrate an important idea: that the public does not have the right to knowledge. We have to win over Elsevier and other publishers and show that what these commercial companies are doing is fundamentally wrong." """
The tools and stands to be tested, both on clearnet and on darknets, are interesting, important, and necessary. Many are moving into the darknets today, yet it will take another decade or so to know the outcome.

Cloudflare HAS interest in logging tor. If you log into hushmail via tor the security notice you get (please verify yourself) is served by Cloudflare Screenshot and blurb, Tumblr: http://auntieimperial.tumblr.com/post/111007562804

Two ( one helluva) cookies besides the logging.
Gotta luv this though: "if(_self.facebook_is_lame(href))return;"
(Firefox cookiekeeper addon grabbed these. You can edit the cookie. I
WONDER what kind of mayhem that could cause cloudflare if the .js was
'turned' on them)
