Just updated my guide for using Electrum Personal Server with a Bitseed node to include instructions for using EPS with a Ledger hardware wallet or an Electrum software wallet (and what to do if you already used some accounts with 3rd party servers)

Yesterday were made aware of possible vulnerabilities in the version of Tor being used. We have updated to use the latest version of Tor 0.3.5.8 to mitigate against those potential issues. Please update your wallets. Thanks to @LarryBitcoin for the responsible disclosure.

Good time to set up your own Electrum Personal Server! 😉 github.com/bitseed-org/bitse…

So Tor is now built in as of the latest update on the Google Play Store. You can enable Tor before creating a new wallet or toggle on/off at any time within the wallet. Coming up in next UI build a dedicated network managementt screen for Dojo and Tor. play.google.com/store/apps/d…

Fully integrated Tor in #SamouraiWallet 0.99.25, now in Play. The runway is set for #Dojo & #Whirlpool.
The next update to #SamouraiWallet is scheduled to include a native Tor layer (no more separate Orbot app). Final testing this week. This lays the groundwork for Dojo full node pairing/use and Whirlpool mixing. deepdotweb.com/2019/03/10/eu…

In the latest version of Samourai Wallet there is an easter egg for power users and those who want to help test the bleeding edge in bitcoin privacy tech. Learn about Cahoots, Stowaway, and STONEWALLx2 and how to get your hands dirty trying them out today blog.samouraiwallet.com/post…

/r/bitcoin: i wrote a guide for installing lnd and running lightning over tor on a bitseed 3 node (with open questions at the end - help wanted!) github.com/bitseed-org/bitse…

Currently testing version of Samourai Wallet with much improved built in Tor (no more needing an external Tor app) which is a prerequisite for connecting to your Dojo full node.

Confession: while I have experimented with some #LightningNetwork wallets, before this weekend I had yet to finish setting up my own node (I gave up during previous attempt).
But after a bit of work, I have LND running on my @BitseedOrg node. Here's how:

Needs more red for sure 😍
Dojo node is coming along. But it needs more red, what do you think @SamouraiWallet?

Note that you are not vulnerable to this attack if you exclusively use your own Electrum server. See my guide for running Electrum Personal Server on a Bitseed node here: github.com/bitseed-org/bitse…
Users of the Electrum Wallet, a popular desktop Bitcoin client, have been under a persistent attack since December 2018. Coinbase Blockchain Security Engineer, Peter Kacherginsky, has been tracking the phishing campaigns on the Electrum network. Read more: bit.ly/2IgOz6x

We are using Tor for our pairing protocol with @BitseedOrg and @SamouraiWallet. Built-in e2e encryption and authentication, NAT traversal, and static onion address. It's a great tool for more than just anonymity.
Should it be a problem to bundle #Tor with #Bitcoin, and have it used by default for pairing with other devices/wallets (ONLY - all exit node and relay activity would be disabled)? All invisible to the end user.
(Note: Tor itself is not illegal anywhere according to @torproject)
