Electrum wallet over TOR (please help)

[SamedamnBTC]

Can someone make a step by step on how to connect the wallet through TOR?

Also, what advantages does it have and dont it have?

Last question:

I have many different income wallets, what difference does it make when im sending bitcoins from my electrum?

Bump please?

At the menu bar, go to "Tools", then "Network" and set:
Proxy: SOCKS5 | 127.0.0.1 | 9150

This should work with the recent Torbrowser (start Tor before you start Electrum and quit Tor after quitting Electrum).

Undoing the whole thing:
Menu bar "Tools", then "Network":
Proxy: NONE

If you really don't know the advantages, you probably shouldn't use Tor.

Slush set up an Electrum node over Tor a few years ago. Here's the thread along with a guide from him on setting it up: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=113116.0

Use an onion electrum Server then there is no exit node

For this you have to place an onion server in the network settings of electrum

you shoukd have something like this:



this you have to change to drp4pvejybx2ejdr.onion:50001 (as an example)



for sure you can use any other onion address.. look in this thread:
