Hi!

The subject is pretty much self-explanatory, we've recently had some issues with a person mining via TOR to hide a huge botnet and/or a hopping proxy-pool.
What do YOU think about banning TOR-exit nodes from accessing bitcoin wallet and/or pool sites/services?

I guess it's a question of anonymity versus security here, we're going to discuss this internally to - but i want input from users regarding this.

Is there any reason NOT to? Besides the obvious reason of being truly anonymous.
The reasons i can think of, FOR doing so are plenty - hacked accounts, bruteforce attacks, money/bitcoin laundering and much more.

What do you think?
