Are you sure those are peers? Are you sure they are coming in over tor? And not your own wallet or something?
Let me be absolutely sure and check again. It could be that I'm being stupid and have more local connections running. I'll confirm this hopefully on Thursday
Are you sure those are peers? Are you sure they are coming in over tor? And not your own wallet or something?
Hi again, I realized I was being an idiot and still have my Mempool instance running and my Samourai Dojo instance running. Unfortunately after stopping them and closing all my wallets I'm still seeing 3-5 clients connecting via 127.0.0.1. Nobody has my address. Is it possible that because I previously announced my Fulcrum server that some clients are still aware of my onion address? Perhaps if I reset my onion address I'll no longer have any clients connecting to me?
I don't know quite honestly. Yes that is possible.
When I next have time I'll generate a new for hostname and see if it still happens. I'll get back to you later this week.
Alright I got chance to test this. It wasn't the fault of Fulcrum. It seems what was happening is that some peers were remembering my tor hostname after I previously announced it. Generating a new hostname and running Fulcrum for 15 minutes causes no peers to connect. Sorry for the confusion.
Btw I really like Fulcrum, I'm not interested in BCH or LTC but it's fantastic for BTC! I'll be sure to donate a little, keep up the good work :+1:
Hey thanks for the kind words and I'm glad it wasn't Fulcrum's fault. Yes, peers can remember you so yes I guess that makes sense that resetting the hostname did it. Cheers!
Hi, I've been using Fulcrum for a while and recently decided to disable the peering/announce functionality due to the limited bandwidth of my internet. Despite setting peering and announcing to false, and setting a blank tor_hostname my Fulcrum instance still seems to be accepting peers over Tor.
Here is my configuration file:
Here is my log:
To be clear, during this test I had only one instance of Sparrow connecting to my Fulcrum via Tor.
