Chinese Researchers Propose Tor-Inspired Overhaul of Bitcoin
Patrick O'Neill writes: Although Bitcoin was never designed to be anonymous, many of its users have used it as if it were.

The new research is inspired by the Tor anonymity network. The researchers' paper is at arXiv. (Also covered by The Stack.)Read more of this story at Slashdot.
