Privacy: New Tor Address / Identity

Is it possible to create a new Tor Address / Identity?

Yes but it is not well tested and might cause unknown side effects.
Safest way is to create a new data directory (backup current data dir then remove it and start app new).
Data directory u can be opened at account/backup -> button to open.
You must not have open offers, trades or disputes as you would not be reachable anymore!
And of course transfer first the BTC to an external wallet.

If you dont want to do that you could remove the hidden service directory (PATH_TO_APP_DIR/Bitsquare/mainnet/tor/hiddenservice) and then start new. Again you must not have open offers, trades or disputes as you would not be reachable anymore!
I don’t recommend to do that as it is not tested and I am not sure if there could be some issues. If you do that I cannot give support help.

In future versions we plan to make that accessible in the settings to reset the onion address which would include all the required checks.

Also be aware that you lose your “reputation” with past traders. Each trader sees on the icon on the right of an offer or trade how often they have traded together and can also tag a user. With a new onion address you are a new user and the past reputation is gone.

OK, thanks! Privacy has it’s price…
