it was a thought that a landlord could increase the rent if he will find out through your salary payment address that your boss increased your salary. and that is true. by the public ledger we don't have the private environments as banks have it. and therefore we need special mechanisms to grant usual privacy as banks have it too except in the case the government want to know it but this is then not possible by Bitcoin.
Who did delete posts and what posts? I personally didn't delete anything.
Anyway, as you said we need this extra privacy, and it's happening, I have hope that if Core devs continue on charge and not the hard forking buffoons, we will continue getting increased privacy and increased decentralization. The 0.12 update will be easy to run with Tor, I think from what i've read, all it takes is opening the Core wallet, then Tor, or at the opposite order, or actually at any order but just having both opened at the same time and that's all. Also with CT and BIP47 coming in the future, we will have a very respectable level of privacy and Bitcoin will start looking more like cash, as it should have been since day 1.
