Tor + Ethereum + Augur + Zerocoin = ????????
The tools are coming together nicely.
Although, I think that Tor could use a little improvement.  Its three-hop method is limited and old.  Further, there should be an automatic system to generatedecoy messages at each stage in the transfer, built into the Tor protocol itself.(as well as the generation of spontaneous fake messages when network traffic is low.  Routers should be equipped with Tor relay capability built-in.
