Using TOR to access the forum is normal, not abnormal. Satoshi Nakamoto always use TOR in Bitcointalk so is Satoshi Nakamoto an abnormal user?

I didn't said it was abnormal Tongue

. But some users new or old doesn't matter, aren't that concern about their privacy. I have seen many people who doesn't uses VPN or TOR (Not just for Bitcointalk but also their daily life). Yeah having privacy is important, I don't deny it. But for some people, they just don't care.

I don't know on which basis, the tbct_mt2 is saying that Satoshi always uses tor. However using Tor for BTT does not make anyone abnormal or normal. Instead many members above already said that people prefer Tor for privacy purposes. As we all know this forum uses cloud flare and cloud flares have the ability to track anyone using it. This means people can be tracked using their IPs as IPs are saved on Cloud Flare.

So just to remain anonymous people prefer to use TOR but honestly, I don't think TOR is enough, and secondly, we face a lot of problems while using BTT on TOR. I lastly read a topic about TOR in which people were facing issues using TOR. And after reading that thread I got to know the importance of TOR and gave it a try but on my side, the Captcha loop started. (I think the topic from which I was motivated was also facing the same issue, Actually, I tried TOR after some time of reading that thread).

TBH, a lot of people care about anonymity and they really use TOR and they don't use free VPNs as in one of your posts you asked what if the same IPs are allocated to a VPN user and that IP could be blacklisted. I say to avoid that, you should use a paid VPN. This problem is common.

As, I also read a topic in which a user was totally new to BTT but his IP got blacklisted and he asked why he was BL and many users said, he might be using the internet from a service provider from which another BTT member might be taking the internet. As, when this happened, sometimes the IP address remains the same but for local area network provider.
