I am required to setup a store that will operate through Tor and accept Bitcoin payments only. I know I can run the standard client on the server and make it connect to peers only through Tor. However, are there any other options available for handling Bitcoin side of things - hosting the wallet, creating accounts, receiving money and so forth? Do any eWallets or other services allow access through Tor?

I'm curious what's great about a tor-based e-commerce site. If there's shipping, you'll need the buyer's address. If there's digital download, you'll need to give them a link, and it won't matter if they are or aren't TOR. Saving the user's session via cookie / session vars to continue to use their system makes sense. – Dominic Tancredi Dec 7 '12 at 21:28

The benefit is that it's a lot more difficult for a government to shut down a Tor hidden service than an open web site. See: Silk Road – Chris Rico Dec 8 '12 at 7:33
If you're doing what Silk Road do you would want to run your own Bitcoin-Qt and not use some third-party online service. – r3m0t Apr 21 at 13:26

Try using bitwasp. It seems to provide a lot of features you need. Try it and let us know if it works.
