Why is it recommended to use a wallet like atomic wallet that uses/connects to the Tor network?
I don't think that atomic wallet has any option for using Tor network, unless something changed in recent updates.
Example of wallets that are using Tor are Wasabi or Trezor Suite, and it's good to use them if you want to hide your real IP address for transactions.
Like I don't get it. If I send anonymous btc (mined, mixed, or xmr transfer) to a generic address I own. How would that mean anyone could know I own it? It's not like those btc addresses save IP addresses do they?
Many wallets are saving bunch of information and they are probably sending them to their servers for various reasons.
I am sure IP addresses are recorded like this and connected with addresses and transactions used, even ledger publicly confirmed they are doing this with their ledger suite app.
Who know, maybe they are even selling this information to interested third parties or government agencies.
