   Just to add, I suspect the reason that the state of public anonymity
   tools is not stronger is that the existing international powerholders,
   whose power could be reduced by widespread accessible anonymity, take
   diverse action to slow the release and hinder the effective use of the
   research.

   Dear [2]@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 :/
