Are you sure about that? I get 30+ connections easily!
I have port 8333 open, but I can't exactly believe everynode of the network connects to me.
(I'm running version 0.2, downloaded from the website.)

And you can login to one of the TTY1-8 (what sirius-m was talking about) and execute /etc/init.d/gdm start and it will start gdm!

And donate me something!

I'm programming pong for linux from scratch using C++, SDL/OpenGL.
I will release it and everyone can buy it!

It's not like there aren't any free alternatives out there, but it will support bitcoin and me.
It's gonna cost like 500 BTC, anyone interested?

Google Chrome 5.0.307.7 beta (on debian) reports the same thing.

Tor can be dangerous, like exit nodes that log information like passwords and the like.
So a major question about the security of Bitcoin when using it with Tor (or any other proxy service) arises:

• So what exactly does Bitcoin send when it connects to an IP?
• Is everything encrypted that we send over the line?
• Can someone 'steal' bitcoins by listening at the end of a proxy (or in Tor's case an "exit node")?

Speaking of security, we might just want to add a simple version checking procedure in bitcoin that will alert a user if s/he is running an "insecure version of bitcoin".
