It's bitcoin related too, it was only last month that he launched "Onion Bank":
16th July 2013 The launch of a new service: Onion Bank.It has been two years since the open registration of new
Freedom Hosting accounts was closed, and replaced with an invite only
system, which was done to prevent DDoS attacks.
I initially said there would be an option to purchase an
account for a low price of $5 with bitcoins but nothing ever came of
this, mainly because there was no easy way of accepting bitcoins on an
onion site without having to install the bitcoin software.
This gave me the idea that I should create one, a site
where merchants can signup and easily accept bitcoins on their onion
sites.
I created Onion Bank, which has been in (slow) development for almost two years!
Originally it was supposed to include an anonymous exchange between Liberty Reserve and Bitcoins, but since the closing of LR it has now become a bitcoin only site.
One of the problems with using bitcoin on the Tor network is anonymity, bitcoins have a blockchail which can link your purchase or sale of bitcoins at exchanges with the sites that accept them, to use them anonymously a shared wallet/laundry system is required. Onion Bank does all of this and more, the ability to accept and spend bitcoins anonymously.
Using Onion Bank you can accept bitcoins on your site, complete automation is possible.
You can also setup a simple payment/donation link for your site.
Features include...
Merchant Services SCI/IPN.
Multiple Identities under one account.
Generates a new bitcoin address for every transaction.
Escrow.
Laundering.
