@AegisFS Not really; using Bitcoin over Tor is something you’d want to do for sending transactions as opposed to receiving them.
@mraz_sic However, while it’s possible to configure a node to only receive & relay blocks, I’m not aware of a way to only relay txns.
@mraz_sic Sure, but in order for that to be possible, someone has to be running Bitcoin hidden services that will accept & relay txns.

@bitstein Dev team certainly matters. Hypothetical example: a new flaw is discovered - ETC devs will need to be able to address such issues.
@desantis I’m not assuming anything, I’m specifically responding to a claim I’ve seen posted quite often.
6) Can Ethereum Classic easily adopt new features from Ethereum? Sure, if it abstains from ever developing innovative features of its own.
5) Statoshi is only ~300 lines of code on top of Core. More changes introduced into a fork => more complex to merge upstream changes.
4) Even after fixing any merge conflicts so that the code compiles, I often encounter runtime errors that were accidentally introduced.
3) As maintainer of the Statoshi fork, I merge upstream changes from Core for each release. This usually takes a couple hours and is a PITA.
2) Commits behind upstream code fork:
Statoshi: 99
Dogecoin: 322
Litecoin: 3,762
Dash: 3,762
Peercoin: 9,128
Novacoin: 9,128
1) “It’s trivial for Ethereum Classic to copy code changes from Ethereum.†Historical evidence and my personal experience suggest otherwise.

Unfortunately, general public happily sacrifices privacy in return for convenience. If we want to preserve privacy, it must be the default.
Privacy is a highly contested right - first US court case dates to 1880 re: a non-doctor allowed into the room of a woman giving birth.
While privacy is a natural right, it is a litmus test of a society’s will to resist authoritarianism. Privacy also fuels further resistance.
The right to privacy rests upon the premise that each individual is important enough to be entitled to an inviolable sphere of self interest
