Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Seriously, was MtGox really under attack? It seemed more like the usual server problems.

Biggest DDoS (i.e., most bits per second thrown at them) in "ages" was the comment I read.  There was a lot of speculation in the #mtgox IRC channel about the possibly reasons why and when.

Good, in the long run. Centralization invites attack. Anti-fragile.
