I hope next year some more projects move to #Tor .onion space. With all the censorship and aggressive attempts to unmask domain name and site owners it feels like the pressure to do so is building.

The benefits of .onion right now:
- No Certificate Authorities required
- No reliance on DNS
- Much better anonymity

The downsides:
- Really popular sites will need to learn new ways of handling the traffic
- Until @torproject finishes offline key signing of .onion identity keys you risk losing control of your “domain” if your server is compromised and your key is stolen.

I thought porn, like all things Internet, would drive people to Tor but maybe the bandwidth demands are too high. Maybe betting sites that use less traffic? What do you think the site types would be to get some migration going?
