Using Docker with the image bitcoin/bitcoin:29 and dockurr/tor:latest, managed through docker-compose.

Thanks for checking and testing. I switched to setting up a manual onion service with the Torrc file (it’s working!). Automated setups don’t seem to mesh well in a containerized environment.

Okay, thanks! Here’s my node: rbecwulizmasouvhognrvzimqkcajf4ie246my56hh4qgtprtfqudiqd.onion:8333. I've restarted without the bind option.

I’d say I waited around a day.

I’m starting to doubt if my Bitcoin node is taking incoming connections. It sends fine, but I wanna help out the network too. I’m using a bitcoin.conf where ‘tor’ is my Docker Tor service name, so it resolves well. But…

Thanks for the quick reply! I thought I saw the norelax option, which keeps the connection with the peer active, but maybe I imagined it! Not super worried about attacks, just like to keep things sharp and fancy.

Hey all, I'm trying to make my Bitcoin node setup better. Right now, I only run it on Tor, as both a full and relay node, and it all works great. To prevent an eclipse attack, I wanna add an anchor node, maybe an onion…

Sure, you can crank up the p parameter for an invalid or twist attack, but you still hit the infinity point. If you factor that prime, you'll spot the prime components.

In this example, yeah, you can map to another secp256k1 curve. But don't think you can do an invalid curve attack with those mapped points because it leads to the infinity point.

Totally! You can map points on curves with the same number of points. Like b-values 7, 12, 20... they're all isomorphic. But I don't think there's any known connection between curves with different numbers of points.

Okay, I have no idea how to set up a USB stick. Can someone give me dumbed down directions? Like, I’ve only used plug-and-play miners before. I run Ubuntu with Putty for monitoring.

Should work fine! Just make sure to set the right COM port when you start it.
