Title: Armory with and without TOR Post by: Blisset on July 27, 2016, 01:01:35 PM Hi, I used Armory 0.93.3 without TOR.
All my transactions were registered with my home IP? And if yes, where can I check they are regitestered and publicized with my home IP? I didn't see my home IP in blockchain.info details of all my transactions. I always saw other IPs of other countries. For privacy should I use Armory with TOR or not? Thank you very much Title: Re: Armory with and without TOR Post by: mocacinno on July 27, 2016, 01:02:45 PM Hi, I used Armory 0.93.3 without TOR. All my transactions were registered with my home IP?

Thank you very much The IP of the broadcaster isn't logged into the blockchain, so the only thing a node can record is who transmits a transaction to him. this is what blockchain.info does: it records the ip of the first node that notifys them of a new transaction. The reason to use a wallet over TOR is to hide your IP for the node you broadcast your transaction to, so even this first node has no clue what your home ip is.

I red "Run bitcoin client with TOR is not a good idea" famous article. Using Armory or other bitcoin clients with TOR to hide IP to nodes has security issue? Thank you Title: Re: Armory with and without TOR Post by: mocacinno on July 27, 2016, 01:44:51 PM Thank you very much. I red "Run bitcoin client with TOR is not a good idea" famous article. Using Armory or other bitcoin clients with TOR to hide IP to nodes has security issue? Thank you To be honest, i have nothing to hide, so i've never even read the paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/1410.6079 However, the abstract does say there's an atack vector created for people who run their client over Tor. Title: Re: Armory with and without TOR Post by: gangtraet on August 01, 2016, 06:44:40 PM I've seen my real IP appear on blockchain.info, although most often it does not. So now I use a VPN. ;)
