I am not sure that TOR can help in anonymity 100%. I had a one case, when using TOR website tell me from where I am, well this was only one time ...

tor does not help you 100% as there are ways to attack a tor user (for example timing attacks) to uncover their identity.

There is really not any very good ways to be 100% certain that your identity will not get leaked

Wow :O But it told you the exact city you are from or only the country?
Maybe the TOR exit node you were using was located in your country

tor is only good for onion websites that use https....

normal dot coms and http sites are not protected via tor.

As Bitcoin users it is a common interest on maintain anonymity on the web.

I do have a few questions.

Is TOR enough to conceal one's identity on the web? Not the Deepweb, but on Bitcointalk
If there is an IP leak, do the administrators at Bitcointalk cooperate with efforts to distribute personal information of Bitcointalk users to ISPs?

Man this sounds so shady its insane Cheesy

Stop doing scams and noone will search for you. NSA doesn't want to know your identity, dont worry, they already know

On serious note, tor should be enough if you know how to use it

I'm so fed up of this same old ignorance that haunts the forums.

Not everyone who wants his rights is doing something wrong.

Can I install cameras in the shower? Why not? If you aren't doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide!

Ever seen The Truman Show movie? Truman wasn't doing anything wrong, but it found annoying to live forcibly on the spotlight

That's why someone invented the concept of privacy for everyone not just criminals

Just because you are doing nothing wrong doesn't mean there aren't people who want to kill you and/or take your money.

Islam and Nazism are belief systems, not races.

I think using Tor carefully and consistently to access bitcointalk means they don't have identifying info (except your email address) to hand over.

Thanks to the bitcointalk admins for allowing Tor access. The peace of mind was worth the few mbits I paid to remove my "Tor evil" when I registered.

If you get targetted by the NSA or similar state level actors, Tor would probably not be enough.

Not really. True anonymity could be achieved but advanced coding, networking, hacking skills would be needed.
TOR can somewhat help you be anonymous, well it's enough unless you're doing some illegal shit.

Considering Bitcointalk is a central entity, they can be persuaded to turn over information.

Yes of course , bitcointalk.org is not decentralized Cheesy
