You might as well drive yourself to jail , if you think tor is going to protect you.

Thankfully you don't seem to understand that article, or how this "leak" could work to de-anonymize Monero and the like, which isn't what was being talked about. Tracking transactions is not an issue, it is identifying you to be somehow related to certain transaction, or address for that matter.

Since we were actually talking Bitcoin, transactions are already in the clear. You may think in your mind Tor is useless, but you are wrong, but it is because you fail to understand the technology. Perhaps you are the type they target, please citizen obey the law, thank you.

Point of Tor is hiding your IP, and therefore your geo-location at a given time. This works and is not broken. Your alleged NSA tool fulfills another role, which is AFTER they have confirmed an identity to be tied with an address/transaction. This may* be needed in those coins, but not Bitcoin which is already in the clear.

As for your other article, i won't even bother. Chinese are not supposed to be dealing with Bitcoin, use your imagination...

*Hilariously most Monero wallets don't anonymize the transactions in the first place...

In the end, if you know what you are doing, you are safe using Tor.

LOL,

You are so gonna end up in jail. Cheesy

When a user connects to Tor, internet service providers are able to see that Tor is being used. This data can be demanded by the FSB, and other state authorities in other countries.

The mere act of using tor , can let your ISP flag you and then report you.
Next comes the warrant and the wrench upside the head. => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeHDnF7MU90
(If Crypto gets outlawed , Tor is gonna be included with it.)

You connect to that ISP using either a hard wired ethernet or wireless ethernet adapter.
Their is a hardware address specific to that adapter, and with it , the model and serial # of that computer can be accessed from a database.
Also a serial # in the CPU, does the same.
Were you smart enough to spoof fake hardware addresses, and what about the feature/flaw in IP6 that gives you away that you don't know about yet. Wink

This means any government agency with access to those serial numbers can track the purchase of that PC to whomever purchased it.
Did you buy it with a credit card, were you filmed in the store, did you have it shipped to your home address?
There are numerous ways to find you and if you think tor will protect you, it won't.

Be sure and post what jail you get sent too, and I have an anonymous 3rd party mail you a cake shaped like a

Good Luck , Mr. Super Secret Criminal
Cheesy
