There's no distinction between a transaction you originated and one you received from another node that you're relaying in a broadcast. With a very small network though, someone might still figure it out by process of elimination. It'll be better when the network is larger.<br/><br/>If you send by IP, the recipient sees you because you connect to their IP. You could use TOR to mask that.<br/><br/>You could use TOR if you don't want anyone to know you're even using Bitcoin.<br/><br/>Bitcoin is still very new and has not been independently analysed. If you're serious about privacy, TOR is an advisable precaution.</div>"
