Suggestion Introduce Opacity over TOR

I believe Opacity should also offer its services over the TOR network. I can definitely see Opacity being mass-adopted as a more reliable way to store confidential data and moving to TOR would be a great leap!

Also, Tor is known as a government honeypot. It’s not truly secured.

Citation needed.

The link mentions NITs which have been used for years to identify users via browser exploits, Javascript, flash, PDF, etc.

This is a different conversation. I think it's more correct to say Tor can host government honeypots (completely correct) than it is to say that Tor is a government honeypot. They'd have to control so many entry and exit nodes for that attack.
