0x is an amazing person and has been doing fantastic work behind the scenes on Bitcoin, so I can't wait to learn from him and figure out more about an attack happening against our Bitcoin nodes.

Good evidence that a new entity is surveilling all transactions and tying originating node IPs to them, but I'll let 0x get into the details Tuesday 👀

Interesting, wouldn't this attack only apply to clearnet nodes? Tor nodes shouldn't be able to leak IP right?

Tor nodes are easier to Sybil attack/eclipse attack but would at least protect your source IP, protecting rough geography etc.

We'll go into detail for sure on prevention mechanisms 🙂
