What about i2p? I hear it has quite a few bugs, but so did Tor in the beginning I'm sure. Maybe it just needs better funding. Isn't it a better design at least?

Phantom also seems to have great design, but it was discontinued quite early in its implementation. No idea if it's because it was unworkable or for other reasons. Maybe someone with experience in such networks can take a look at it:

However Tor has a big advantage in practice right now: lots of users, of every kind, to hide among. When GCHQ talked about "staining" in this context (as in the REMATION conference docs), by the way, they generally mean either a timing-based fingerprint (as here) or cookie-based fingerprint (unfortunately it seems to be used in at least two entirely different contexts, oh well).
