Welcome to our user-friendly guide on the incredible DeepOnion cryptocurrency. As many of you may know, DeepOnion is designed to be an anonymous and untraceable cryptocurrency, heavily leveraging the security features of the TOR network. With the legacy source code being phased out in favor of a new codebase that incorporates the latest advances from Bitcoin and Litecoin, it’s crucial to understand what steps you must take now.
Understanding the Shift from Legacy to New Codebase
The legacy codebase of DeepOnion will soon be frozen and only maintained in case of critical bug fixes. Starting from December 10, 2019, it will no longer receive support from the DeepOnion development team. This means that users will need to adapt quickly to the new codebase, but fear not, all the essential features have been successfully ported!
A Simple Analogy
Think of the transition from the legacy codebase to the new one like upgrading from an old, reliable car to a new, more efficient model. While the old car (the legacy codebase) served you well for many years, it has become outdated and is now being phased out. The new car (the updated codebase) comes with better technology, features, and performance. Just as you would read the manual for your new vehicle, you must familiarize yourself with the new features and functionalities of DeepOnion.
Enhancing Your Experience with TOR
DeepOnion facilitates automatic connection to the TOR network, ensuring that you operate in a secure environment. When you launch the DeepOnion client, it connects to available TOR nodes, including our seed nodes, seamlessly. Upon a successful connection, users can view their assigned TOR hidden service address (.onion address) directly in the client console.
Setting Up Advanced Features with Pluggable Transports (PTs)
For those looking for greater control over their connection settings, DeepOnion now offers advanced users the option to configure PTs such as obfs4 and Meek. These options help to enhance privacy and security when using the network.
