Namecoin-Qt generates network traffic without prompting for proxy settings #30

It's generally considered good practice in software that might want to use Tor, to prompt the user for proxy settings on the first run, before generating any network traffic. That way, the user doesn't accidentally connect over clearnet. At the moment, it seems that without command line flags, Namecoin-Qt will immediately connect to the Internet on first run.

This is actually an upstream Bitcoin-Qt issue, but I'm filing it here so that we can keep track of it. I'll file a bug upstream as well.

@JeremyRand: Did you file a bug against upstream Bitcoin? And if so, what happened to it?

JeremyRand commented 6 years ago

Seems I neglected to do so. I've just filed it with upstream, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/13952 .
