How to Run Bitcoin as a Tor Hidden Service on Ubuntu
Why should you run a Bitcoin hidden service on your node?
* It increases the privacy of other Bitcoin users who are anonymizing their actions via Tor. Specifically, it is a countermeasure to many of the “network observer” attacks listed on the Open Bitcoin Privacy Project’s threat model.
* It makes your own node more robust against Sybil attacks and network partitions.
* It doesn’t require much more computational resources to run, just the one-time setup cost of configuring your machine.
