Our Full Node and Electrum Server are both open to the public while supporting the Bitcoin network and protecting your privacy. It's a win-win-win!
It is important to note that running your own Bitcoin node is considered best practice. 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 its users by:
❎ Respecting their privacy by not logging IPs
❎ Ensuring anonymity by not logging transactions
❎ Protecting their security by not logging Bitcoin addresses
The Bitaroo Node only logs errors.
Please note that the settings above 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 even knowing.
