Hello guys,
Recently a question crossed my mind about bitcointalk.
As we know Bitcoin is pseudo-anonymous , so basically users post their bitcoin address here ; let's take per example "Aveatrex" posted his bitcoin address to receive a payment,unless someone knows  "Aveatrex" real identity in real life the payment will be anonymous.
But, if someone knows "Aveatrex" IP, he would know "Aveatrex" identity , so here's my question: How secure BitcoinTalk? I mean it is possible for someone to get my IP from here? And what happens if a government forces BitcoinTalk to leak users IP address?
This is really important for me as I live in a country where Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency is banned/illegal.
