Hi John interesting. Maybe you want to look at http://firefloo.sf.net , which is as well a decentral messaging hybrid with XMPP. When you swaped encryption keys, and set the proxy to Tor, then all friends with the lock-sign in the friendslist are sent over Tor. All your criteria are given and realized here, maybe it is worth to think about some integration. FireFloo does not need a central sever, and hence it is not needed to have a hidden service. The User-ID is as well detached from the IP or Tor. Maybe you want to check it out.. or send your key for a test. Regards Tom
