Title: Bitcoin Forum vs. Tor
Post by: questionstorm on October 17, 2012, 08:00:41 PM

Why is it that this forum does not allow me to register and log in with Tor?
[0/1]Coin is about privacy, isn't it?

Log in with Tor is allowed, but I had the same problem registering. Says they have had too much abuse from users signing up through Tor. I will search the forums, there is probably threads about this already.

It only disallows registration(and probably the first login) trough Tor. Subsequent logins work fine(or at least they should).

It would depend on the Tor exit node you happened to be using at the time. The way a website detects whether someone is using Tor is by utilizing a list of known Tor network exit nodes, such as: http://proxy.org/tor.shtml

If a website is blocking you because of Tor usage, you could try clicking the "Use a New Identity" button (and clearing cookies in-between) until the problem goes away. Mind you, it could take a whole lot of tries...

or you can use a online proxy just to register and then login with tor.

Jonny. Use tor to browse these forums if you like. It's a personal choice.
