There seems to be some confusion about Tor integration.

Yes, TorCoin DOES create a full TOR node. You simply need to download from the TOR branch on our github, not the main branch >>

The main branch does not create a full TOR node. I could of course change that, and maybe I should, but running Tor nodes is illegal in some countries, so I wanted to allow users the option.

In future releases, there will simply be a check-box in the Windows and MACOS wallets giving you the option to run a TOR node or not, in order to comply with local laws.

All of the people spreading FUD about Tor simply didn't read our docs at all, and were too lazy to look through the github - because TorCoin most definitely DOES CREATE TOR NODES. Simply download from >>

https://github.com/TorCoinProject/torcoin/tree/tor

So which version gets downloaded when you click "Download for Windows" or "Download for Mac" on the website?

The Windows and MACOS wallets don't integrate with TOR yet - but they will soon. For now, it's just the linux version. We have active devs working to create a switch that will enable users to turn Tor on/off when using the Windows and MacOS wallets, which enables them to comply with laws in their country or bypass Tor blockages (ie, in China)

Windows and MacOS are a nightmare for compatibility and development, as anyone in the industry knows. Getting them to integrate with TOR has not been easy, but it's under active development, along with an Android wallet.

The linux version does indeed create a Tor node, despite the FUD >> https://github.com/TorCoinProject/torcoin/tree/tor
