Hey all,
i want to force Bitcoin Core to connect via Tor, are my settings correct?
My torrc-defaults file inside the Tor Browser Bundle forlder contains these lines:
So i guess the port must be 9150 and not 9050, right?
Also, the Allow incoming connections option was selected by default but i have disabled it, is it safer to do so?
What are the implications and what's that option useful for?
