If you buy your Bitcoin from a KYC exchange, but you run your own node and use your node for all transactions… are you doxxing your node by sending/broadcasting all of your already-identified UTXOs through that node?
If so, then what about if you run this node over Tor. My assumption is it would hide your IP etc., but if there’s some sort of identifier for the node itself, then it still gets doxxed by your KYC corn?
Or maybe I have this wrong. New to this…
Est-ce que bien ou pas ?, j'avais bien donné la gestion. 'de mon portefeuille à mon ami aujourd'hui avec clé mot de passe et portefeuille puis tout allait bien. Aujourd'hui je ne retrouve même plus quoi que soit à ce sujet... C' est stupide... Mais bien fait pour moi à moins de créer de gros problemes juridiques c'est triste
You may have a “passphrase” set along with your private key. If that’s the case, then viewing your wallet without adding that passphrase, the regular seed phrase would appear empty. Good luck!
Je n'avais que mon portefeuille, mon adresse Gmail en toute confiance il gérait depuis déc 2021 à maintenant et j'envoyais des virements mensuellement des virements bancaires... Fin mai début juin j'étais à plus de 100 milles euros. A mes debuts le btc était à +38000 et tous les mois je versais 1500 à 2500 puis dans les 1500 euros
Je n'ai pas de phrase secrète de plus j'ai dû supprimer les apps Bit'coin Binance ABRA etc même mon nom d'utilisateur c'est lui qui le donne et mot de passe. Cette semaine j'ai testé inconnue aux bataillons et il ne répond pas me reste que l'AMF selon nos mois
Nos lois je voulais dire ne jamais mélanger les affaires avec celles de cœur c'est triste
Thank you for sharing my friend
La présentation est très bien ..Aux nostriches et tout autre quidam sur n'importe quel protocole ou plate-forme centralisé ou pas d'être curieux, en testant nostr, de se laisser surprendre naturellement...tout est possible dans ce protocole tentaculaire mieux qu'une cellule organique, nostr mute à tout instant en se développant 👏🙌
Everyone can share this site and let them discover https://www.heynostr.com/
En fait Boston cétait un DM de zach une fois consultée j'ai bien voulu avec certains d'autre vous. Du coup j'ai opté pour les DM comme lui.. N'hésitez pas à leur faire un retour. C'est un nostriche fort cool et participatif. Merci à vous tous
You are sending the KYC sats to "someone" address, if anyone (ISP/Gob/etc) can use some data and meta data to identify that you have the keys to move the sats for that address, yes, you are doxxing yourself. If you use the ip from your ISP provider... more easy, they can sniff all the packages. If you use Tor, as you said...they have to put more work to identify you unless you said "Hey, this is my node and my address". In the end, if the big brother wants... can't track you and in the last instance... it's a true/false face to face interrogation to check if that node is owned by you.
If you start from the KYC sats... I only can think about some "I lost my keys", "Some body rob my key and send to some place I don't know about", "I lost my key in the street, maybe someone use it to move the corn to other place".
Any KYC sats need to be acumulate and in one action "lost" in a boat accident, or "other" people get your priv key and move to another place.
In that situation, this "other" person could send those sats to some coinjoin software and "clean it".
My 2cents
This helps a bit, thank you. I’m not really thinking about the privacy of the coins. Just the node - if Node X only broadcasts transactions filled with KYC’d UTXOs, does that effectively associate that particular node with the KYC’d identity?
I doubt KYC will be trackable once funds are used to open channels. But better get an answer from someone who is sure.
I’m not even thinking about a Lightning node - just basic Bitcoin core node to validate your own wallet’s transactions when you receive from the exchange and/or send to cold storage.
Does broadcasting a transaction from your node dox the node if the UTXO was KYC’d? That’s what I’m really trying to figure out.
As far as I know, it will be viewed as a separate on-chain wallet like any other wallet for that matter.
What if you don’t use the node’s wallet? You use an electrum wallet and instead of broadcasting from the electrum node, you connect to your own, Node X, every time.
I guess what I’m wondering is, how much information does the node display about itself when it broadcasts a wallet’s transaction…?
No. Your UTXO is not linked to any IP address
What if Node X only broadcasts transactions filled with KYC’d UTXOs, does that effectively associate that particular node with the KYC’d identity?
Node X over clearnet with no VPN can obviously be identified by the ISP. Node X over Tor is of course more private. But same question would apply. That node only broadcasts transactions that are full of KYC’d UTXOs.
Does this effectively dox Node X’s owner?
Your exchange knows your UTXO, but doesn’t know your IP. Other nodes can see your IP over clearnet, but they won’t know which UTXO you broadcast belongs to you. Nobody can associate a specific UTXO with who you are until you send it back to a KYC exchange.
Sounds like if you were being targeted already, the information would be available (ie this person runs that node) but only with a lot of coordination across parties. Thanks 🫡
Yes. Always run your node over TOR to make it harder to trace 😁👍🏻
That’s the plan 🫡
Any experience with the desktop miner + node combo from FutureBit?
Exploring a bunch of options for nodes and dipping my toes into mining. But I live somewhere that electricity cost is $$$ so there’s no hope of profitability in the short run.
And our building has steam heat included in rent so I can’t even double it as a heater lol
Those are useless. The latest ASICS with 140 tH can mine about 1M sats a month, assuming no downtime, so depending on your electricity cost, it may or may not be profitable. But if your goal is to get KYC sats, this is the only reliable way.
Non KYC
Doing the math with the idea of home mining with an s19J pro (104 tH), just for an example.
Cost of energy: > $0.20 per kWh
Profits: negative $3.5K per year
I’d basically pay a 150% premium for no kyc sats…. As opposed to 2-3% premium via robosats, lol
Woof.
Yeah, but I always wonder how do you know you are really getting non KYC bitcoin with Robosats? 🤷🏻♂️
