This is something that I have also wondered about. Why go outside of the Tor network to check that you're using Tor? Access to any hidden service would be proof positive that you are connected.So yes, the answer is that pretty soon the check website won't be the bottleneck that it currently is.Just out of interest, why doesn't the current TBB load a .onion address to check that Tor is working correctly? Or two tabs, one loading the current check site and one loading a hidden service version? The HS version would demonstrate beyond a doubt that you're communicating over Tor.
