Hide their IP by default?

1. Who the fuck would want to turn that off?
2. "Hide" their IP, would people still be able to get it by digging for it? Won't be as easy as resolving a Skype name, but could people still figure it out?

If they were smart they'd make it so skype masked all users.

There's so much more issues with skype, but its better than the old MSN days lol

One implication of this is also that we won't be able to link vaders' different skypes to each other...more benefits than drawbacks for sure though.

Haven't they tried to do this a few times in the past? Pretty sure they've tried with little success.

There will always be a way to find someone's IP via VOIP/P2P shit. It's just the way it is, it's a matter of if you are skilled enough to dig for it or if someone makes a program that can do it for idiots.
