@SysFailure and @BitcoinFX, you talk with so much confidence and you sound convincing. But I won't blindly take what you have said until I hear from @TheTorCoin.

That being said, it looks you work for the TOR network or you have been tasked by them to come on here (this thread) and demean TOR Coin.
My suggestion is this; Both parties settle your differences, then collaborate and let's make this work.
What do you say??


I do not work for Tor. I'm not asking you to blindly take what I say. I provided actual evidence, you can even download the wireshark packet captures that I linked. Even better, you can do your own packet captures. TorCoin does NOT connect to the tor network. It's plain as day.

I'll also confirm that I do not work for the Tor Project Inc.,

I do have extensive long-term experience of hosting Tor Relays and Tor Exit Nodes ... also run by many other volunteers all around the world.

You can easily test for yourself that the Torcoin v1.0.0.0 wallet does not automatically run over Tor, as otherwise claimed in the OP.

If you are running the Torcoin wallet go to: Help > Debug window > console and type: getpeerinfo


This will show a list of your connected peers IP addresses. If the coin was connected over Tor then the majority of IPs would either be generated .onion addresses or IP's of actual Tor Exit nodes. You will not be able to match the IP addresses that your node is connected to with actual running Tor nodes : https://atlas.torproject.org/ (unless someone has configured a node to run via Tor for themselves).

No one should willingly associate themselves with a project that is making misleading and 'false' claims from the get-go. Especially with regards to anonymity and internet privacy!  Angry
