temp-tor
Namecoin rebooted development about a year ago, and we are working on the following Tor related functionality:
* transaction anonymity (via CoinJoin and Zerocash);
* floating domain prices;
* increasing domain prices and introducing non-trivial renewal fees;
* and UTXO+SPV lightclients.
We were planning on approaching the project regarding deeper integration in 2015 or 2016. However, we consider Tor our single most important use case and we can deliver a fully capable, UTXO based lightclient relatively quickly.
The above feature list and timeline are based on informal discussions with Tor developers. Waiting for the above features mainly improves UX and makes it easier for domain owners to purchase domains anonymously. We are aware of recent research regarding the use of Bitcoin SPV clients over Tor and are working on the SPV threat model for Namecoin (which is slightly different).
