Our Full Node and Electrum Server are both open to the public while supporting the Bitcoin network and protecting your privacy. Win-win-win!
First, it is considered best practice to run your own Bitcoin node. It protects your privacy, verifies your transactions and supports the network by validating all transactions.
But if you don’t have a node or your node is down, you can use ours.
Our node is dedicated to supporting the Bitcoin network while serving your wallets.
It does nothing else.
It is not connected to our hot wallet in any way, shape, or form.
It is designed to protect your privacy by:
❎ Not logging your IPs
❎ Not logging your transactions
❎ Not logging your bitcoin addresses
It only logs errors.
Please note, these are not the default settings, so if you are using a random node, all the above could be logged (and probably is if the node is owned, without you knowing of course, by a chain surveillance company...)
And now, to the main event...
