| 3 … | +Scuttlebutt does not require to use your real name. You can use | |
| 4 … | +whatever you like. Connecting to other peers to exchange gossip | |
| 5 … | +messages will reveal your IP and might be used to de-anonymize | |
| 6 … | +you. | |
| 7 … | + | |
| 8 … | +Luckily scuttlebutt has built in support for | |
| 9 … | +[TOR](https://torproject.org/). You need to be running the TOR daemon | |
| 10 … | +for scuttlebutt to relay messages through the onion network. If you | |
| 11 … | +want secure scuttlebutt to ONLY connect to other TOR nodes, you need | |
| 12 … | +to pass a –tor-only flag when running sbot. | |
| 13 … | + | |
| 14 … | +You can find a list pubs available over TOR at the | |
| 15 … | +[wiki](https://github.com/ssbc/scuttlebot/wiki/Pub-Servers). Please | |
| 16 … | +note that you might need to contact the person running it for an | |
| 17 … | +invite. | |
| 18 … | + | |
| 19 … | +Please note this is not an easy way to game the system or spam | |
| 20 … | +it. Scuttlebutt already has a great system for blocking users. | |
| 21 … | + | |
| 22 … | +Please note that even when using TOR the (normal | |
| 23 … | +rules)[https://www.whonix.org/wiki/DoNot] for staying anonymous still | |
| 24 … | +applies though. | |
