Re: Are you supporting the network if you hide your node behind Tor?

If you mask your node behind Tor for privacy purposes, does that mean you are not allowing your node to be discoverable, which inadvertently means you are not allowing others to retrieve network information from your node?

So in a way this is actually not really supporting the network right?

NO others, (including clearnet nodes) can connect to a Tor node.

The best why to support the Bitcoin network is to buy and hold bitcoin.  self custody it and use your own Node to verify you received it.  Wink
