Anonymous generating

[sventiala]

Hey everyone,

I want to be sure I am doing this anonymously.

So I generate coins connected to the network without tor. Then I take that wallet.dat, and use a machine on a ramdisk to connect to tor on a wifi, and move those coins to where I want. Question is, should I connect with tor on my miners when they generate? For example, in the p2p network architecture, maybe some machines I connect to have a debug.log showing the IP of my machine was the one generating the coins? The way I do things makes my transactions secure as far as the blockchain is concerned. But is there a record of the IP to the generated block somewhere?

Thank you kindly!

No need to connect through tor to keep your bitcoins "anonymous".

No record of any IP address is kept on the network.

any modified client could do this?

Your client doesn't boast "hey, I generated this block", it just says "here's a block, accept it if it meets your criteria". The other nodes don't know whether you generated the block, or whether you're just passing it on from somewhere else.
