Re: [tor-talk] Where's Torbutton?

It's been (perhaps unfortunately) superseded by the Tor Browser Bundle, which includes a version of Torbutton built into a custom Firefox browser... all due to security issues. I find it kind of annoying as well, especially since I run a separate instance of Vidalia for all of my applications... :

I agree only to a certain extent. Paypal and Western Union are easily traceable. If it was that easy to track down Tor and BitCoin users, Silk Road would have fallen as well. However, even with BitCoin, it may be possible to pin down transactions, or at least narrow the list down considerably. Onc

It wouldn't really matter even if they are, would it?
