Can anyone give me a run down on VirWox?
It looks pretty anonymous. Is it?
Can I create multiple accounts using Tor and/or proxies ?

Fuck VirWox.
They were my first ever btc buy and it sucked donkeycock. You have to convert USD/EUR into something called "Linden Dollars" which is the virtual currency inside the Second Life game/simulation. Then you have to cash them out as BTC. You lose about a third of your funds in that conversion.
Plus, they actively try to block TOR gateways, and finally, when I made my first deposit to them with a prepaid UKash card they still froze the account and asked me to scan/fax ID, despite the fact that the card was a prepaid stored value card.
There are better ways to anonymize your coins without losing a third of your cash before you even see a credit in your btc wallet.
Fuck VirWox.

That does really suck.
How does UKash work? Can you buy it online or do you have to go into a store?

In the EU, preloaded UKash cards are sold at gas stations and sometimes even vending machines. They have a number code on it that can be redeemed everywhere UKash is accepted, offline and online... Dunno where they are being sold where you are but they aren't available in the US, only Canada and Mexico.
