This are good reasons to run a full node, but are there any security concerns when running a full node? I can think of one issue, your IP would be visible to the network and therefore you are maybe a target of an attack. Is this a reasonable concern or am I too careful? Are there other concerns?

start your daemon using:
onlynet=onion
bind=127.0.0.1
listenonion=0


Thank you! I didn't know that the bitcoin core wallet supports to run over tor without much configuration.

Any other concers? Otherwise I will setup a full node on my raspberry  Smiley
