Title: TOR exit nodes and BTC Post by: hamza171 on November 03, 2014, 02:51:27 AM How if there is a way can newbies and really anyone protect themselves from getting their acct wiped?
This shit is scary. Title: Re: TOR exit nodes and BTC Post by: wunkbone on November 03, 2014, 03:03:10 AM You should not connect to a web wallet nor run a full node via tor. It is generally safe to look at a block explorer via tor as well to push a TX to the network via tor (you can use a number of block explorers doing this). You can use a number of services to sign a TX that you can push to the network that is created offline

Anyway, I never use Tor to log in any of my localbitcoins, Primedice accounts etc, instead I use a VPN for that. :) Title: Re: TOR exit nodes and BTC Post by: notlist3d on November 03, 2014, 03:38:57 PM I recently asked a question whether Tor can be used with web wallets with precautions to things like malicious exit nodes...didn't get any answers though. Tor has had problems in the past with attacks on exit nodes. I would NEVER use anything important over it. Yes they fix it... and eventually another attack pops up. Don't risk it on your wallets.

That goes for forums & other things which you have to log into. Title: Re: TOR exit nodes and BTC Post by: BitBlitz on November 04, 2014, 05:34:03 PM You should not connect to a web wallet nor run a full node via tor. I ran a full node via TOR for a while. No big deal. It has long been known that exit nodes can sniff plaintext data leaving and entering their node. That does not mean they can spend from your wallet. Remember that any transactions you send to the network-- are intended to be put into the public ledger.
