Mining over privacy network (Tor/i2p) setting

[CryptoGrampy]

Would it be possible to add a simple setting for Gupax to run P2Pool / Mine over i2p or Tor? It would be great to see this software as resilient as possible for areas where it may be dangerous to be running p2pool software.

Gupax has a Tor client inside but not a server. It can create circuits, connect to them, send/recv bytes via that circuit, but it can't forward arbitrary bytes from a different process.

Although, that part can be added. P2Pool also can natively connect to a SOCKS proxy which makes it easier.

I didn't add this initially because of the downside of using a latency-heavy connection to mine on a latency-sensitive pool like P2Pool. In the case of remote nodes, you can negate this by picking a fast node close to you, but with Tor, the nodes you get routed through are random (technically, you can manually pick your circuit but that's... a bad idea).

A circuit that takes 5 seconds from You -> Tor -> P2Pool and back means all your blocks will be stale.
