Now, for the `sendrawtransaction` RPC + this behavior can be changed to only do the broadcast via the Tor or + I2P networks. A new boolean option `-privatebroadcast` has been added + to enable this behavior. This improves the privacy of the transaction + originator in two aspects: + 1. Their IP address (and thus geolocation) is never known to the + recipients. + 2. If the originator sends two otherwise unrelated transactions, they + will not be linkable. This is because a separate connection is used + for broadcasting each transaction. (#29415)
