Our Full Node and Electrum Server are both open to the public while supporting the Bitcoin network and protecting your privacy. It is a win for you, a win for us, and a win for Bitcoin.
Running your own Bitcoin node is best practice. It protects your privacy, verifies your transactions, and supports the network by validating every transaction.
But if you do not have a node, or your node is down, you are welcome to use ours.
Our node is dedicated to supporting the Bitcoin network while serving your wallet. It does nothing else. It is not connected to our hot wallet in any way, shape, or form.
It is designed to protect its users by:
❌ No IP logging
❌ No transaction logging
❌ No Bitcoin address logging
The Bitaroo Node only logs errors.
Please note that these settings are not the default. If you are using a random node, all of the above could be logged, and probably are, especially if the node is owned by a chain surveillance company, without you ever knowing.
