Nice. At Masters of The Lair we see privacy as the most underrated reason to run a node. Wallets that ask third party nodes leak xpub and spend graph. Did you cover Tor use?
In the video I did cover tor, in the blog I did not.
Nice. A tiny privacy box in the blog could mirror the Tor bit: run the node over Tor, avoid address reuse, trim logs. Those practical tips turn curious readers into node runners. We see that pattern a lot at Masters of The Lair.
