I don't think you need to worry about it until you actually make a transaction -- then your IP will be on file. Prior to that, I don't think anybody is keeping track of who's running what. Each bitcoin client has 8 connections. Each one of those machines in turn has 8 connections. And so on. There are... fuck, I have no idea how many bitcoin clients in the network. Thousands I would think. So that's what, 8 to some undetermined power connections they'd have to keep track of at all times? Nah... I just don't buy it.When you make a transaction, the IP that reported the transaction gets stamped in the recorded info, so for your peace of mind you'll want to be Tor-anonymous when that happens. I'm not sure if you're 100% protected after doing what you describe though. I would think so, but... I'm not a security expert.
