I don't think this shoud be fixed by detecting TBB, which somehow counters
the very purpose of TBB. What about having a scriptlet/extension/whatever
in The Tor Browser that sends the request directly via the Tor network
instead of using the gateway? Client-side solution is the only way
to recover your Bitcoin to me.
