Bitcoin XT contains an unmentioned addition which periodically downloads<br>
lists of Tor IP addresses for blacklisting, this has considerable privacy<br>
implications for hapless users which are being prompted to use the<br>
software. The feature is not clearly described, is enabled by default,<br>
and has a switch name which intentionally downplays what it is doing<br>
(disableipprio). Furthermore these claimed anti-DoS measures are<br>
trivially bypassed and so offer absolutely no protection whatsoever.<br>
