Before I've used Tor for bad intentions and because of curiousity on how does deepweb differ from what is filtered on the surface. I have seen much evil that im not gonna go back again. If you're in a country that restrict gambling online, I think vpn is enough that my friend does the same. Tor network won't insure anonymity or any kind of virtual private network won't help you hide your true identity if in your own your not careful with it. Bitcoin address is highly traceable and if without proper mixing of address and vpn it won't work. A simple mistake will trigger more damage that you won't know.

LMAO  Cheesy Cheesy Grin I saw some shit I cant unsee as well.


Its been a while since ive taken a dive on Tor. for one, its slow as fuck for me usually, im on a metered connection that sucks and tor struggles at best. but mainly, there is nothing of substance on tor. not really into child porn or dark markets, and thats pretty much the whole of it, from my experience. its pretty much poison because people dont use that hidden space to share esoteric knowledge; they use it to persue corruption and mammon. we get another library of alexandria, and we use it to sell pot for digital currency  Undecided

That's horible, deepweb is like a demon nest below the church(internet). I can't even used my own camera on that sites, those being sold are too much to shallow. Those sites should remain under because as human I don't want my children and other innocent one be aware of how evil can this world we're living in. Using tor in deepweb is not a child play to begin with and hope they know what the consequences when doing so. But using Tor outside deepweb is okay with me.

I took a tour on TOR out of curiosity and see it first hand, Well I also didn't like what I see and I'm afraid that my laptop will be infected by malware or something. Its good to sometimes go and see what you can't see in the internet. But I don't think its completely anonymous as well or conceal your identity using it. And if you going to used it for gambling then I think a good VPN will do + a trusted mixing services to add another layer of concealment and usage from anyone who wish to track or trace your gambling activity.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

TOR browser is made to hide one's identity it can be a very useful tool for the people who want to be anonymous on the internet, also TOR is highly used for dark web, but there are some limitations that i faced while using this browser was that you can have a full screen window because it reduces the security level, moreover the speed is reduced compared to normal browser. But I still love to use TOR as my current browser because the security level one can get it very rare in any other browser.

I can't say that Tor and dark web is good or bad! may be sometime people wants to share some valuable information across the globe anonymously like vigilantly and this tor is the only way left for them but at the same time they can use it to do some bad or worst things. its like a free weapon where you know for certain what should one do.

There is a large difference between using TOR only to finally exit to clearnet, and using TOR all the way to the final destination (conducting business with a fully onion site).  Exiting into clearnet defeats many of the strengths of onion.  I am talking about legal stuff not "kiddie crap".  A well constructed site running in onion doesn't even disclose where the site is physically running.  Yep, lots of stupid OPSec errors allow them to be found, but correctly setup ones remain "dark" in cyberspace.  That is where I want my LEGAL mixer to be located.  You can't grab a server if you don't know where it is.  If you think servers aren't getting grabbed by adversaries, even though they conduct 100% legal operations, you are just naive.  So yes I do use TOR.  I am inside a linux VM on TOR making this post, as an example.

As quite a few of you gamble in cryptos casinos from countries where gambling is forbidden, I was wondering if you use TOR to hide your identity. Or if you use it as well, even if you don’t gamble, to avoid your movements being traced when operating with btc and other cryptocurrencies.

i use tor on surfing the deep web but i havent try tor on surfing blocked sites by government or isp. although ive been using a virtual private network to acces gambling sites therefore i wont be banned by my isp because i see that this is illegal on our country and theres a fine for violating this rules if you get caught.

Like anyone else, I'm one of those people who are so conscious about my privacy and personal identity by in the end I keep revealing myself in the eye of those who are good to it. Tor may be a good help to that but because of low internet connection in my country/place it's hard to used it daily. So I just keep myself away from suspicious activity for me not to hide anymore.

Most of the time, I only use TOR to surf dark webs, when I need more privacy and anonymity (sometime, I will use private VPN if I need extra privacy as well)...

I heard that TOR is a Russian design. They had problems in Russia. I think that after this, they began to cooperate with the FSB. Probably the FSB now has the ability to monitor TOR users but if you are not a Russian citizen then you have nothing to fear.

But I still love to use TOR as my current browser because the security level one can get it very rare in any other browser.

the security level you get using TOR browser only is not enough to keep your online indentity hidden
there were many security leaks,allegedly,some even say backdoors for the agenices in the TOR browser
so I would not feel safe using TOR for anything illegal
if the big brother wants to trace you,you will get rtaced TOR or no TOR
you can use TOR as a free VPN for regular internet surfing though,comes at a price of lower speeds and less browser functionality

I think you probably heard wrong. Tor onion routing was developed in the mid-1990s by the United States Naval Research Laboratory. It has been principally funded by the US government, so I would be more inclined to worry about cooperation with various US law enforcement agencies (not the Russian FSB).

Due to various vulnerabilities that were exploited over the years, and the fact that governments can run exit nodes themselves, I would not expect Tor to provide full anonymity. It can be useful, but it's advisable to use additional tools to secure your privacy.

Its been a while since ive taken a dive on Tor. for one, its slow as fuck for me usually, im on a metered connection that sucks and tor struggles at best. but mainly, there is nothing of substance on tor. not really into child porn or dark markets, and thats pretty much the whole of it, from my experience. its pretty much poison because people dont use that hidden space to share esoteric knowledge; they use it to persue corruption and mammon. we get another library of alexandria, and we use it to sell pot for digital currency  Undecided

You got it right Cheesy That's what we are as people. You probably know that porn is the most viewed and searched thing in the Internet. It has always been this way.
There's so much knowledge in the web that you could spend your whole life reading and learning, but people prefer to spend their time watching stupid pics on 9gag and jacking off.
As for TOR, if you aren't paranoid about your security and don't want to buy drugs or guns, you don't need it. VPN should be enough.

Yes, I'm using TOR. Right now I'm abroad for an indefinite period and I don't want my identity to be exposed. I also use ProtonMail for maximum security. I'm not interested in DarkWeb and DeepWeb so I don't browse them. TOR for me is a tool which allows me to be anonymous on the Internet. I think I'm going to run a node in the future. What do you think about hosting one on OVH dedicated server?

I've surfed deepweb once, there's nothing scary and to worry about, and ofcourse I always follow the guidance to make sure my safety, and holy shit, there's so many illegal porn content there people said but will never visit it though. and also, it seems that the deepweb itself is just bunch of people who want to try something different, nothing as scary as what people said.
and one thing, what's the deal of hackers knowing your address tho.

Tor does not make you completely invisible. If your country banned the use of bitcoin then you will find. But sometimes it so happens that to find a person more than not to search at all. I think that person is easier to find then when it changes bitcoin for Fiat. Banks keep track of such operations and can pass this information to the competent authorities. In our time it is impossible to be completely anonymous.

Tor Design for Deep /Dark net so you aren't completely anonymous    so not use it to hide my identity

Best way clear cooks use VPN or Detected ip + change your time zone

When you hope for something that will protect you from being tracked by third party software you are deeply mistaken. If the government wants to track you they will do it. Each person must decide for themselves supports it bitcoin or not. If you support you have to be ready to defend their rights.

I had use it once but because I was not even getting the benefit of it. It was because I wanted to access a site to benefit from it but I couldnt eventually. TOR has been so efficient in keeping identity anonymous and because gambling is not illegal in my country of residence, I really dont have the need to continue its use.

Avoiding movement being traced as a result of using btc will mean more to what using BTC for just normal purposes. Over here there is no law to say you cant use BTC and for that, I dont see anyone tracking my activities. I dont commit fraud neither do I engage in hacking activities.

I'm using Vypr VPN and I am happy with it.
I use TOR only when I want to browse underground sites.
