Title: Is Bitcointalk safe?
Post by: gollum on April 30, 2013, 08:00:03 AM
Where is the server located?
Does the server save information about users IP?
Should we use TOR when registering and using bitcointalk?

Sure you should
But using pgp or bitmessage is even better

Yeh.. One would really hope BitcoinTalk's database is safe.

Even on the most basic levels. I'm sure a lot of people would use the same username and password on Bitcointalk as their online wallets, stuff like that lol.

I'm sure it is secure though

Just don't pm personal info, it can be cracked anytime and don't reuse passwords
