the one Kanzan posted in this thread: nostr:nevent1qgs0npwnpyvheqz7zuvuwvv9k460c0hyqlturds40hhfn34vufvehwcqyzmedf9x4a7ga33dtjk88s0n0nw9yspkfgdna2xsv23wchfr7jddjx63xau

it puts "use tor" as an example of the gymnastics you have to do to gain financial privacy if you don't use monero

of course, if you're not using tor on monero, it's a lot easier for sybils to collect your ip address and link them to your transactions

Dandelion helps prevent this too, but it's much better with tor

I will say, I'm not surprised the XMR people put "use tor" as a non-monero thing

Monero isn't made to integrate with Tor according to its github

Monero is meant to be used with Tor and i2p.

I'm sure that's why its github explicitly says, "Monero isn't made to integrate with Tor" source: https://github.com/monero-project/monero

Read my other note. Also there have been many discussions about Kovri, a Monero i2p implementation. It has been abandoned for different reasons.

There are follow up projects that seek deeper integration.

Can you link to it? I don't know which note to look for

Also I doubt that the Github page you are citing is reflecting the current state of understanding.

It's a good thing you bring it up so we can discuss and create more clarity.

Most wallets have Tor and Tor nodes available in the wallet like Cake, Feather, Monerujo, Stack
