chainparamsseeds.h needs updating with static Tor seed nodes #146

Open saltedlolly opened 12 months ago

saltedlolly commented 12 months ago

There are currently no Tor nodes in chainparamseeds.h: https://github.com/DigiByte-Core/digibyte/blob/develop/src/chainparamsseeds.h

To better fortify DigiByte against attack we should add some static Tor nodes to this file.

The current DigiByte static nodes list is here: https://github.com/DigiByte-Core/digibyte/blob/develop/contrib/seeds/nodes_main.txt

For comparison, see the Bitcoin static nodes list here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/seeds/nodes_main.txt

@saltedlolly Can this be closed since we merged #145?

saltedlolly commented 11 months ago

It would be sensible to keep it open as a reminder to add tor nodes.

Wouldn't there need to be some Digibyte client side changes as well in order to handle connections from Tor network?

I have not dived into exactly how to set it up for DigiByte yet, but I am pretty sure Tor integration is included. It was added to Bitcoin Core v0.21. https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/70069/how-can-i-setup-bitcoin-to-be-anonymous-with-tor

Thanks for the link, I missed that development on BitCoin Core and will put it on my list to attempt to understand. If only we had infinite time.

I think it is a great feature to have in so much that it obscures the originating IP address of nodes on the network - good for better privacy. At some point in the new year I want to look into adding support to DigiNode Tools. Hopefully it can make setup automatic. It will also then give us some tor nodes we can add to this file.

@saltedlolly Where do we stand on this?
