Title: Multibit bloom filters Post by: nezhurin on September 29, 2016, 06:23:38 PM From what I understand in this case it wont matter that the user IP is exposed since when multibit will try to get balance of your address it will in the sametime try to get balance of other addresses that dont belong to you is my understanding of bloom filters good? and are they enabled by default

So if I understand correctly it doesnt make a request with only the address that is personally being used but it downloads the entire last block(?) and it check if the transaction is found?

So does it offer any privacy at all? The guy running multibit node for getting balances of address is he able to see what IP address looked up which address or no?
