1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: If i send someone btc, can they see what kind of wallet i use? on: January 23, 2021, 02:20:15 PM
You said it literally, "if you use a vpn or an ISP they can find out about that and Tor in individual cases", and this is what I meant in my post "Internet Provider".
Please don't be stupid with me Smiley

You missed the crucial point.
My statement is that the ISP can find this out / knows this.
Your statement is that only the ISP can.

That's a huge difference.

You can't answer this question with a generic "only X can do Y".
It depends on the whole situation. In some theoretical circumstances every single person could find out which wallet is being used (e.g. weird individual locktime set).

This most probably is not the case for OP, but a generic answer to such a question is simply wrong.

We have 3 options ISP, VPN and TOR. You say now only ISP can. and here you say vpn can too.

I wouldn't say "for sure" since it's possible the user or wallet uses Tor/VPN connection or other method to protect privacy.

With a VPN, the VPN provider for sure knows what kind of wallet you are using.
Without, the ISP does.



so what do you mean specifically since in any internet situation, provider will know it?

While Tor definitely might help here, a full node could be prohibited from connecting to the bitcoin network via Tor by exploiting the built-in DoS protection. Resulting in either a clear net connection, a tor-only connection (excluding the clear-net bitcoin nodes, resulting in 2 separated networks, at least for a maximum of 24 hours which would be easier to "control" privacy-wise) or no connection at all.
SPV wallets via Tor are a different story again. If we are talking about a SPV wallet building on top of bitcoinj, that's probably the only thing one could determine using the privacy leaking bloom filter.

I am not saying that it is definitely possible to find it out. Especially not with Tor. But it's not impossible.

However, since OP asked whether someone can find out if he is using blockchain.com or electrum, i heavily doubt he even ever heard of Tor.
And in his case.. an institution definitely could find out which wallet he is using. A random stranger on the internet, can't.



They can't see, They just can see the wallet address of yours. Let's not to say data tracking and this bullshit, in anyway, only your Internet Provider can know this.
For personal wallet, a wallet that you own the seed, the receiver would not know what wallet you are using.
[...]

If you don't know anything about the topic, better don't talk about it.
Or at least don't make it sound as if you know anything.

3  Local / إستفسارات و أسئلة المبتدئين / طرق تجميع البيتكوين on: January 23, 2021, 12:50:56 PM
مرحبا, اود ان اناقش معكم افضل طرق تجميع البيتكوين, معظم المبتدئين في هذا المجال لا يرغبون في شراء البيتكوين لذا يقومون بترك المجال كله بسبب ذلك, وحتي لا يحتفظوا ببعض الاجزاء من البيتكوين للمستقبل. بالنسبة لي فأنا اعتقد وصول البيتكوين الي 1M$ ليست صعبة ابدا, 1 ساتوشي = 1 سنت , وخصوصا في ظل هذه الاحوال انتشر بشكل كبير جدا. لذا يجب تجميع البيتكوين ليس لغرض بيعه بل الاحتفاظ به للمستقبل. وفي الحالتين لن تخسر شئ. علي الاقل لن تندم في المستقبل كما حدث من قبل Grin.
شكرا لكم.
