Hi all,

I am trying to figure out the source node of a propagated transaction in the bitcoin network. My approach is to set up multiple nodes and analyze the received transactions.
Additionally, I was curious on what I need to do to connect to a bitcoin node running tor(I'm guessing I have to configure the SOCKS5 proxy). After the TOR configuration can I just add a peer with their .onion address?
I am also planning to set the maximum connections to say 1000 per node. I was told this is a bad idea because it will slow down processing at my node if I don't have enough resources, but it seems like a good way to get transactions from multiple nodes.
Any ideas and opinions will be highly appreciated.
