I'll also confirm that I do not work for the Tor Project Inc.,

I do have extensive long-term experience of hosting Tor Relays and Tor Exit Nodes ... also run by many other volunteers all around the world.

You can easily test for yourself that the Torcoin v1.0.0.0 wallet does not automatically run over Tor, as otherwise claimed in the OP.

If you are running the Torcoin wallet go to: Help > Debug window > console and type: getpeerinfo

This will show a list of your connected peers IP addresses. If the coin was connected over Tor then the majority of IPs would either be generated .onion addresses or IP's of actual Tor Exit nodes. You will not be able to match the IP addresses that your node is connected to with actual running Tor nodes : https://atlas.torproject.org/ (unless someone has configured a node to run via Tor for themselves).

No one should willingly associate themselves with a project that is making misleading and 'false' claims from the get-go. Especially with regards to anonymity and internet privacy!  

Don't bother mate. These poor bag holders are in denial. Whatever you say, regardless of proof, they won't believe you...

I do not work for Tor. I'm not asking you to blindly take what I say. I provided actual evidence, you can even download the wireshark packet captures that I linked. Even better, you can do your own packet captures. TorCoin does NOT connect to the tor network. It's plain as day.

@SysFailure and @BitcoinFX, you talk with so much confidence and you sound convincing. But I won't blindly take what you have said until I hear from @TheTorCoin.

That being said, it looks you work for the TOR network or you have been tasked by them to come on here (this thread) and demean TOR Coin.
My suggestion is this; Both parties settle your differences, then collaborate and let's make this work.
What do you say??

I'm a certified Network Engineer with a little over 10 years experience. Most recently I worked for a very large ISP in their core engineering department. I'm also kind of a nerd, so in my free time I like to investigate how things work, especially if they are network related.
 
I have experience with Tor and anonymous distributions like Tails. My primary interest at this point is to find out how secure TorCoin really is. If you are familiar with anonymity, then you should be aware that leaking network data on the clear net (the regular internet) is a big concern. Leaking any data related to you or the app you're trying to conceal will give you away.
 
To test, I configured a Windows 10 Virtual Machine and setup Wireshark. After installing and launching TorCoin, I performed a series of packet captures. For the sake of being brief, I discovered that most of the claims made by TorCoin are false. TorCoin does NOT integrate with The Tor Network. It does NOT keep your usage private.  
 
Here are just a couple things that I found!

* Clear public NON-Tor DNS traffic asking for http://seed.torcoincoin.com
* Clear public IRC traffic to irc.lfnet.org and irc.smutfairy.com
* Does NOT connect to The Tor Network!
* Does NOT keep your use of the coin anonymous!
* Nodes do NOT help The Tor Network.
 
Here is a screenshot of the IRC traffic:

 
You can download the Wireshark packet captures here so that you can see for yourself:

BitCoinTalk member TheTorCoin makes these FALSE claims on his thread:
 TorCoin communicates with other nodes over the regular internet. Your IP address can be seen by everyone! I was able to do a reverse lookup on a node and found a user on Comcast. His claims are misleading at best. I personally feel the creator of this coin has done this intentionally. It is my educated opinion that you avoid this cryptocurrency.

If you are honest, you can not use 2013 info, outdated obviously, that link does not correspond to Spectrecoin 2017, see good info here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xspec-spectrecoin-untraceable-tx-ring-signatures-tor-integration-1704473
Spectrecoin is a coin what truly works under the TOR network.   

I saw a lot of campaign on torcoin, and from now on I will watch this coin, I think the dev and the community is very active which is very good and very essential on the success of the project.

And cant wait until torcoin will be listed on other big exchanges like Polo and bittrex.

Spectrecoin is not a coin https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/SpectroCoin its a e wallet and TorCoin is altcoin and devs doing hard work for this hope if they solve issues about right its going to good price because its only anonymous currency

Yeah that was at the beginning, now the price has dropped significantly, but we're hoping that more exchanges put Torcoin in. :p

I'm following the price on c-cex.com, since that's where I've created my TOR wallet. Yeah I;m really interested in getting more TOR coin so I can trade more effectively.

I have sold 3 TOR at 0.02 BTC on coinexchange before.

spectrocoin is a scam the dev got a tag check the ANN, also spectrocoin don't have  apow phase for good distribution, Torcoin have a pow phase, which is much better than a simply pos, this coin is also more rare, i see better future here to be honest

Definitely,since total supply is only 12 million,price would increase more and there would be a huge increase in demand in future.

You probably made a bad choice AGAIN. Want something legit? Check out other coins, my current favorite is Gridcoin

I have raised these issues multiple times and was called a fuder. Meanwhile price keeps going down and down but some people still think they will be millionaires in 2 years. I see two things happening in the near future:
a) DEV dumps his huge premine -> investors loose even more money
or
b) TOR starts sending DMCAs to the exchanges sites and investors can't sell their coins anywhere

Whether a) or b) happens I'll be here to say "told ya"

Is this coin actively developed?
Currently it seems that Spectrecoin and other anonymous currencies are better than torcoin.

Holy shit, these copy right issues could haunt TORcoin should they not address them! Maybe that's why TORcoin dropped, an announcement from TOR itself would do it. If these issues can be addressed I see a bright future

Recently,i lost interest in altcoins due to lots of scam coins which were just pump and dump coins.But after a long time,this Torcoin seems to be more legit and im going to buy more coins before the price goes high.Torcoin sure to succeed.

this is the right time buy more torcoin  guy, i already bought 10k torcoin  at 65k sats
 and im waiting some dumpers to dump their coins so i can buy more at lowest price im going to hoard this coins for 2 years

We'll the most recent highest was 0.001 on 11th of may, I think it will absolutely without a doubt but I just hope that that will be sooner than expected. tho the current price is good too. This might be my first tiem that I'm going into trading with an  alt-coin seriously and I'm so hyped that I wish I can just speed up time.
