Dear [@seanlynch](https://github.com/seanlynch) you are belligerent. I am in fact not saying that Tor or I2p aren't worth using. Come off your platitude for a few minutes and think about people who may be in a more high risk situation than yourself. For those people Tor isn't good enough because their adversary may well be the NSA and the FBI and GCHQ and so on. I am welcome to put forth my efforts into mix networks but not because you say so speaking from a place of belligerence. I am a fan of Tor and I do not go around telling people they can't have any protection. Your delusional caricature of myself is offensive and alarming. Check yourself before you wreck yourself."""

:P~

TL;DR: for the IPFS Tor support issue:

IPFS wants a security audit before merging Tor support. Tor support was volunteer effort - no paid security review possible. Thus - IPFS does not support Tor :/
