This is a dedicated service which I trust will stand the test of time with community support, donations and sponsorship of additional nodes. All of these nodes are 100% dedicated and only securely (relay) Bitcoin (BTC) network traffic over Tor, as an ISP. Nodes are not established to facilitate 'illegal' use and/or 'abuse' of Bitcoin or the Tor network, whatsoever. Nodes do not relay regular Tor traffic and are in fact ClientOnly mode Tor servers. Nodes are not related to mixers or to any darknet (anything that google cannot index) market places. This project exists to help preserve your individual Right to Privacy, Financial Sovereignty and Freedom of Expression when running Bitcoin. Users of this free circumvention service are not customers. All project nodes are compliant with U.S. export regulations and actually avoid relaying traffic through Embargoed and Sanctioned Countries, as well as any Counties currently operating a Ban on Bitcoin and/or Tor (more on how to do this soon!). Note that this actually helps to prevent censorship and enables internet circumvention for Bitcoin users from (or located within) oppressive regimes, for example. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_bitcoin_by_country_or_territory - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_sanctions - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship ...

Country codes are 2-letter ISO3166 codes, and must be wrapped in braces; fingerprints may be preceded by a dollar sign. (Example: ExcludeNodes ABCD1234CDEF5678ABCD1234CDEF5678ABCD1234, {cc}, 255.254.0.0/8) By default, this option is treated as a preference that Tor is allowed to override in order to keep working. For example, if you try to connect to a hidden service, but you have excluded all of the hidden service’s introduction points, Tor will connect to one of them anyway. If you do not want this behavior, set the StrictNodes option (documented below). Note also that if you are a relay, this (and the other node selection options below) only affects your own circuits that Tor builds for you. Clients can still build circuits through you to any node. Controllers can tell Tor to build circuits through any node. Country codes are case-insensitive. The code "{??}" refers to nodes whose country can’t be identified. No country code, including {??}, works if no GeoIPFile can be loaded. See also the GeoIPExcludeUnknown option below. "... ... Note: This is an independent research and development project.

This is really useful info I think there should be more adoption and use of tor but the issue is people get very confused with it and make mistakes when doing configurations this info will be a real help to anyone looking to step into the world of tor while using bitcoin.
