1. Bitcoin is decentralized, so there's no thing such as "central server".
2. Tor Bridge is designed to avoid censorship, see https://support.torproject.org/censorship/censorship-7/. In addition, there's no thing such as complete, absolute or 100% anonymity.

Thank you for your opinion and clarification of my point. Your statement that Bitcoin uses a decentralized network is fully correct, and I was mistaken here. Also, I realize that TOR provides a high level of anonymity but isn’t always secure. My goal was to show the advantages of TOR against other DNS in terms of privacy and network access, but I see my misunderstanding of professional terms as troubling. Once again, thank you for the comment!

1. Your original post didn't mention DNS.
2. I don't understand why you compare Tor with DNS.

1. Statement "Your Bitcoins in Lobster Wallet are actually real." and "Lobster is a wallet for Stellar Network, not Bitcoin." are conflicted.
2. Bitcoin Core and hardware wallet aren't the only Bitcoin wallet out there.

I want to clarify. Although other Bitcoin wallets exist, including Bitcoin Core and hardware wallets, my goal was to mention additional alternatives just for Bitcoin since that was a proper answer to the question context. Concerning this, I should’ve explicitly stated that different wallets could be used, and I am sorry if I sounded unclear. Thank you for your comment.

And how about the conflicting statement i pointed out?

1. The thread talks about modifying Bitcoin-Qt 0.6.2 client. So statement "The blockchain client must be configured to mine the Genesis block" is wrong since Genesis block is hardcoded on Bitcoin. See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Genesis_block.
2. If you create your own altcoin, that means you also need to run your own block explorer for your altcoin.

I appreciate your clarification. According to my very best knowledge, the Genesis block for this particular fork of Bitcoin (Bitcoin-Qt 0.6.2) is hard coded in and therefore can never be mined. I'm grateful for your pointing that out. Also, you're right an altcoin would involve running your very own block explorer which can monitor transactions and blocks. I apologize if my earlier remarks left any ambiguity, and am grateful for the chance to make myself clearer.

If you already know genesis block on Bitcoin is hard coded, i don't understand why you write statement "The blockchain client must be configured to mine the Genesis block." ?

And while we're at it, there are other questionable reply made by you.

Hello

I want to broadcast Bitcoin transactions using python's socket library.Now I can sign a transaction. But when sock is used to link other nodes, it is not known what information should be transmitted.The node I am linking to is protocol version 70016.I tried to find information on bitcoin.org.

This is the site I was looking for:
https://developer.bitcoin.org/reference/p2p_networking.html#protocol-versions

But it doesn't show how protocol 70016 works.I want to know which website I should visit for the 70016 version of the Bitcoin protocol.

Kindly check the Bitcoin core source code https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin to know the details about Bitcoin protocol version 70016 and explore Bitcoin Improvement Proposals so that you can understand how it works and understand broadcast transactions using Python's socket library.

This is very vague answer. Bitcoin Core has tons of code and most people don't know where to start inspecting the code. In addition, there are 163 BIP out there.

how does this work in Wasabi wallet? do I simply have to leave the CoinJoin running until 100% privacy is reached for my wallet? and is 100% possible or will it get near 100%? If hundred percent is reached, is it better to leave the coins on the current wallet or send everything to a new one?

The level of privacy attached to CoinJoin in the Wasabi wallet is not concrete but depends on the number of people participating and the quantity of the mixed amount. It drives privacy to 100; however, not every time it is left running leads it, it always improves it. As such, after one is contented with the privacy, it is ideal to move the coins to another wallet.

FAQ on Wasabi Wallet website says different thing.

Why does the privacy progress change if I select a different coinjoin strategy?

The privacy progress is influenced by the anonymity score target. If the coinjoin strategy is changed to one with a different anonnymity score target, this will cause the privacy progress to increase or decrease.

From those quoted FAQ, we can see chosen CoinJoin strategy is major factor on how Wasabi Wallet calculate percentage of privacy progress.
