Feature: broadcast transactions to multiple nodes via tor like Electrum Personal Server

Open CeruleanRat opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

I used to use Electrum Personal Server before switching to electrs, and the one thing I miss is that EPS would broadcast transactions to multiple bitcoin nodes over tor instead of just handing them over to the local bitcoin node and letting it deal with them. I think the idea behind this is to make it harder to detect which node the transaction originated from. It would be really nice if electrs could do the same.

For what it's worth, I believe the code in EPS to do this is here: https://github.com/chris-belcher/electrum-personal-server/blob/c28a90f366039bc23a01a048348c0cee84b710c4/electrumpersonalserver/server/peertopeer.py#L372
