I was holding off on dropping a new Windows wallet build until I could include the escrow manager. If you want a build sooner let me know, I can do one with the I2P stuff. The code is already up in github.
The issue with darksend is that there is a hardcoded collateral address in there, which I find a little scary. I want to look at it and evaluate it before making that stuff visible in the UI again.
jase there are a couple of ways to achieve connection encryption like that. We use something like that under the hood for the escrow orchestration and market infrastructure.
