For some reason, people think that hidden services are safer than clearnet sites. Hidden services are designed to protect the server. As a Tor user, you have the same level of anonymity, whether you are browsing a hidden service or a clearnet site. There are a few advantages to hidden services, such as LE doesn't know where they are located or who to subpoena. Using a hidden service can protect you against accidentally connecting to a site in a way that reveals your IP (for example, configuring an IRC client to use a hidden service is safer, because if you turn off the proxy settings it will fail instead of connecting you to the IRC server with your real IP address). However, in general, you have the same amount of anonymity with clearnet site as with a hidden service -- there are three proxies between you and the IP address the server sees.

So the short answer is, if you use Tor correctly (TorBrowser in the default configuration), your real IP won't be leaked to Hotmail.

However, there are lots of things you can do to accidentally deanonymize yourself, even when Tor works as intended.

Read this article about how the FBI found a guy who was using Tor because he revealed 4 or 5 pieces of information about himself:

So don't reveal personal info.

Right now, BTC is trading at $107 and the SR price is almost exactly the same, because it has been higher for the last few hours, around $115, but between 20-24 hours ago, it was much lower. Wait 4 hours and the SR average should go up, and if the current price is still around $107, you will get more than what you paid for your BTC (if you bought them right now).

And as I predicted, SR weighted average has gone up from $106 to $109, while BTC is once again diving because the MtGox lag is 47 minutes (they haven't fixed shit). You can buy BTC right now for $95, so if you buy now and spend immediately, you will be getting about 15% more value then what you pay.

so I assume as a buyer we always pay more than the actual price if we purchase as soon as we buy the coins

Only when the price is going up. When it was crashing a few days ago, you could buy BTC for $120 but the weighted average on SR was like $180.

9-11 was an inside job if you think those planes evaporated those towers then you have no place to speak on economic issues.

This is what I'm talking about. 

It's funny how the people who say government can't do anything right can simultaneously think it pulled off the greatest conspiracy of all time, killing 3000 of its own citizens, yet not one whistle blower or direct piece of evidence has come forward after a decade, even with all the Wikileaks leaks. Not one person involved in the plot had second thoughts about killing 3000 of their fellow citizens, yet the government leaks info all the time. We found out about Room 641A in San Francisco, CIA rendition sites, and Iran-Contra, but no direct evidence of government involvement in 9-11 has leaked from the government.

Sorry, I find it totally implausible, not to mention that most 9-11 truthers' facts about that catastrophe are either cherry picked to support their point or totally wrong.

We as a society have become naive because we have been brainwashed by our news and leaders. As for Alex Jones, he is a shill he never touches the third rail read about what Bill Cooper said about Jones.

So you get your news from Alex Jones but he's not extreme enough...

That pretty much explains it, since they are all right wing conspiracy theorist whack jobs.

A crash would go below its average.. This price was the same almost 4 weeks ago.

Exactly. BTC is currently trading at $112, about 20% higher than when op said it would undergo an epic crash.

Like I said in another post, the last price instantly recalibrates people to a "new normal", but think about it in the long term. BTC wasn't worth $112 in the whole 4+ years of its history until literally 10 days ago.

Yeah, it sucks for the people who bought in between April 1 and 10, but that's a tiny window, and a tiny fraction of all bitcoin users.

Ah, well if you're emailing someone on clearnet, that's a different problem.

A clearnet email provider over Tor should work. Gmail is a pain in the ass, Yahoo Mail doesn't provide SSL support except during login, cyber-rights.net appears to have a self-signed certificate. I still recommend safe-mail.net.

There's always Bitmessage: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=125663.msg862881#msg862881

Since it's decentralized, it doesn't rely on one central point of failure, like Tormail's server. The network stores (encrypted) messages for 2 days, so as long as you start your client once a day, you get messages and you don't need to have it running all the time.
