The Shenzhen researchers framed TRR (Transaction Remote Release) as a wholesale change to the Bitcoin network. In a new TRR-enabled Bitcoin environment, multiple nodes would encrypt Bitcoin transactions layer by layer, thereby emulating Tor and hopefully stymying current network-analysis techniques that can unmask Bitcoin users.
TRR is apparently faster than Tor, because it only transmits Bitcoin transaction data. It also won't be blocked by nation-states, unlike Tor, nor is it as vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. On the other hand, TRR might be vulnerable to fake requests and ensuing denial-of-service attacks.
Duuuuude I hope someone smarter than me can validate this because that would be awesome. World governments would flip out more than they already are right now.
