Title: Blockchain.info & tor browser
Post by: SureLockLoans on January 17, 2015, 05:51:26 PM
I use tor browser to access my wallet and I just saw this notice:

I guess its more anonymous to access from an onion site.

How so? I'm not up to scratch with tor on the technical side but i dont think it would be more secure would it? it seeems its a lot slower.

When going to the hidden service you don't exit to the clearnet and aren't subject to potential attacks that exit nodes can carry on you.
