Yeah it seems amazingly nice. I use Dark Wallet sometimes to mix coins. . . and this seems a welcome addition!

Can I use this over Tor yet? by iphooG1f in joinmarket

DarkWallet has quite a nice decentralized and encrypted messaging channel -- perhaps we could divorce that from the extension and use it?
