Indianapolis Bitcoin Meetup

We’ll discuss the privacy you lose when your wallet relies on public servers or when you look up transactions on public block explorers. We'll then show you how to use your own Bitcoin node to be more private. We'll review some Start9 apps (Bitcoin Core, Electrs, Mempool, LND, AlbyHub) and demo how to privately connect desktop and mobile wallets over Tor to your node so your balances, addresses, and transaction stay off third‑party infrastructure. You’ll leave with a clear threat model and a practical checklist you can apply immediately to reduce information leaks
