Hi all,
I am new in bitcoin development. I compiled and installed bitcoin core 0.21. It is up and running, all blocks are downloaded.
I am sensitive about the privacy of the transactions I submit to the network. I use tor. Is there any peer-id which ca be used to associate all the transaction I insert to the network? Say, I inserted two transactions with txid A and B which involves address xxx and yyy within short period of time. Can anyone tell addresses xxx and yyy are related to the same peer?
Thanks in advance.
If they try hard enough, and if you aren't careful enough about keeping xxx and yyy from participating in any linking transactions, then yes, or maybe. But, that's true regardless of whether you are using TOR, or whether the transactions are within a short period of time or not.
It has nothing to do with your IP, or any peer-id (not sure what you mean by that), or the computer(s) you are using, or your location. It's simply a matter of how transactions are built and recorded. Without proper care, it is possible to create transactions that will link addresses together in ways that allow others to infer that the same person (or group, or business, or entity) might be in control of both addresses.
