Title: Newbie: Using Tor browser with mtgox and bitinstant
Post by: thx1138eldon on February 18, 2013, 11:48 pm
Hello and thank you in advance.

I have been studying the forums and believe I have what I need to get started on SR.

One question please.

Should I be using the Tor browser to when accessing mtgox and bitinstant? I tried to begin my mtgox config using the Tor browser and got a strange error about IP failures.

Thanks again.

I think mt gox blocks tor exit nodes and it's the kind of site that will freeze your account if you look suspicious, so avoid it.
Use it with a normal browser and if you need to anonymize your coins do it with a btc mixer, blockchain.info's "send anonymous" option and bitfog are the most used tumblers.
