"Warning: Use of Tor and Bitcoin together may result in additional attack vectors that could compromise your privacy. Do you wish to proceed?"

This warning is incorrect for Bitcoin. The risks described are that it may be somewhat more vulnerable to DOS attack. For wallet users the only consequence is that it might not work and, if they're in a hurry, they might choose to turn off tor and end up with the same non-privacy they would have had if they had not used Tor.

OpenBazaar is offtopic in this thread.

You seem to be rather insecure about my remarks about Tor, Bitcoin and so forth. I don't feel any of my remarks are OT, furthermore. These matters I've mentioned are relevant to what's at hand. I'd be less concerned with wallet users choosing to "turn off tor" (as this is likely a very small subset of persons) and more concerned with a bunch of folks who are engaging in surveillance of large parts of the network while at the same time, the system is vulnerable to people who craft large-scale surveillance not just for monitoring but with the intent to create a new Bitcoin reality for some set of users, and / or those who want to greylist people.

I think this is also a very good time to bring up again the subject of why anonymity as an option is very important for Bitcoin users.
I'll refer back to this:
