I really like TOR integrated. It has a lot of benefits. I would be very sad to see it go. Segwit is nice for bitcoin but capacity issues are a LONG way away from being a problem for XBC. As a long time holder dedicated to this coin for a long time to come, I really hope that the desire to implement segwit isn't based on hype and is thought through. It would be sad to lose a practical and beneficial feature with a long history of operation that makes this coin different for a feature that isn't really needed and is hype driven.
I understand that and many people don't realise we are one of only a handful of coins to have a native tor wallet built in and probably the first to have it done like this but in truth the client needs to be updated anyway because it is an older tor version and using external tor client would have advantages where you can update it anytime you want.
The good news is that once we can move on this and get us to the required BIP faster than having the native client onboard means we can probably implement a better system than this on top.There are a whole range of new things we can adopt once we are at that stage and this is the easiest less complicated and costly option.
You can still use the old client for transactions without segwit if you want because segwit and CSV are backwards compatible.
We will have the required level of privacy you require once we have all the spadework done and are up to the latest version in order to do this.We are not abandoning these features once there is a community interest in keeping them.
