    There’s an add-on for Bitcoin called the “Lightning Network” that adds onion routing like Tor.

      Yes, but it does not work well. You constantly get failing payments due to inadequate channel liquidity unless you’re using a large centralized wallet provider and using a large centralized wallet provider defeats the purpose of peer to peer digital cash that’s uncensorable.

        I’ve been using the Electrum wallet for years now with no issues.

                Maybe that’s what I’ve been doing, I’ve been picking “trampoline” and it seems to just work.

                What’s the website for your business? I’m having trouble replicating being unable to route a payment, and want to try buying something from you.
