Title: TorATM - http://toratm3dhalotm3f.onion - Trade BTC for $20 bills in the mail

This sort of follows the model of SR except you dont have to risk your name being attached to the site since its just an anonymous exchange. Whats riskier from a security standpoint, cash in mail or local trades?

If you have a safe place to get mail to that doesn't reveal your actual identity then the mailed cash is safer.  However, as far as getting scammed, doing it through the mail and trusting that this hidden service is legit is probably riskier. 

Anybody out there used this service/can vouch for it?

Problem with this site is they could just fuck off with your coins. Have they posted a 1000 BTC bond to a trusted member of the bitcoin community as insurance should the wallet be stolen/incompetence? Have they opened up all transactions to public ledger to guarantee they never go over their insurance limit? If not don't use it this could be run by 15yr old kids or scammers. Use IRC and the GnuPG identification/web of trust. It's not impossible to learn, take 10 minutes to read the FAQ.
