For using Bitcoins via Tor, the best option that I know is the Multibit
wallet in Whonix. Multibit doesn't download the (many GB) blockchain,
which reduces both Tor network load and user frustration. And yet
Multibit is a local client, not subject to third-party failure.

If Tor relay operators want Bitcoin tips, they can figure out some way
to do that without Tor Project blessing. Unless and until Bitcoin, or
some derivative thereof, is by default anonymous, the idea of
incorporating them in Tor is absurd.

I know of three reliable Bitcoin mixing services: 1) BitLaundry
<http://app.bitlaundry.com/>, 2) Bitcoin Fog
<http://fogcore5n3ov3tui.onion>, and 3) OnionBC
<http://6fgd4togcynxyclb.onion/>. After mixing, it's crucial to check
the final receiving wallet for taint from previous wallets in your
mixing chain at Blockchain <https://blockchain.info/>.
