Does xt REALLY log your ip address? and want to blacklist addresses and coins?

[crypto jerk]

Easy question here?

Does bitcoin core log your ip?

Does xt log your ip?

No

they hid a sophisticated program which logs your ip even if you're on proxy or tor, and they add IPs to a blacklist and whitelist. It's not all objective, they can add people at will too. This is much worse than I ever thought, they can control every bitcoin user if they got their fork. It would end bitcoin as we know it. It's a horrible and disgusting abuse of Bitcoin

It hurts me to reply to this since I know I'm being trolled but I can't help myself.

1) Running a bitcoin full node of any kind (core, XT or other) means you connect in plaintext to at least 8 other nodes. Your ISP knows, your gov't knows and 8 other nodes certainly know that you are running bitcoin. If you have incoming ports opened, even more people know you are running a bitcoin node. https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/

2) You can disable the anti-ddos feature if you don't want to run it. -disableipprio

3) There's nothing hidden about it. It's open source, hearn posted the inclusion of the anti-ddos feautres to the XT mailing list, etc.

Troll harder, plz.

Ignore the white knights on both sides. Objectively, nothing about XT, or the temper tantrum launch, is good. It's a display of pure ignorance

(if bitcoinxt gets up logged ip's will be the least of ur worries)

General expectation dictates that a disclosure is to "go forth" unto to its intended recipient(s) (e.g., startup EULA windows), not vice versa.

A BCT "blacklist" (turtlehurricane) is, merely, analogous to a BTC "blacklist" (turtlehurricane), not equivalent.

Code:

BCT : Forum : : BTC : Currency

Another question; does your IP address really matter?

kinda my earlier point  

but this issue with it goes beyond just the ip login.

Hold on wait! It's around here somewhere...ahh. Found it. OK, I've got my tinfoil hat on - please enlighten us about how far it goes.

    So asking a question is trolling, my special friend?

I want to know if hearn/gavin are doing nefarious things to the code.

     Turtlehuricane says that xt is specificaly logging ip addresses. Is it true or not?

You are saying it is no different then core. Ok.

      Is turtlehuricane wrong then?

[Brad Harrison]

I have to agree with the above user

BitcoinXT has an anti-ddos feature, it can block connections to certain IPs, it downloads a list from an SSL site. Yes, the site might get your IP address. The entire feature can be disabled with one flag in the config.

Unless you're running behind Tor and/or VPN, ALL bitcoin full node products 'leak' your IP address to other bitcoin nodes and the internet in general. turtlehurican is just dumping FUD...

im not sure about it

Seemingly, the primary concern, here, is the capacity of government (or, potentially, another body) to abuse (or, for reason of abuse, alter) the "feature" after its users constitute a "captive audience" (i.e., after that feature has become ubiquitous among Bitcoin clients).

It's been 30 days since Bitcoin Core/XT released v 0.11.0. In that time, there are 3000 nodes that have upgraded and while 0.11.0 has a lot of fixes, it's by no means a critical/required update. If a non consensus feature became abused and widely disseminated and agreed upon as 'bad for bitcoin', why wouldn't clients switch to a new version w/o that feature enabled in even less time?
