What is a Tor-wallet?

[vertoe]

Magi released something that's called MagiTor and seems to be a Tor-wallet.

But it's not open source and I really dont understand what a Tor-wallet could be. Using onion nodes only?

Any ideas?
Do we need a Tor-only Darkcoin wallet at some point?

It's basically a wallet which has SOCKS implemented and routes via SOCKS to a TOR gateway.
TOR offers a SOCKS interface for its clients.

Sounds simple to implement. Do we need this for darkcoin?

I'm not sure if there is anything needed to be implemented at all, it's already done in bitcoin

For this scenario TOR must be installed, which is not what Joe Average is able to do properly.
I guess the wallet vertoe mentioned is a full TOR client which doesn't need a local TOR installation.
