This was an attempt to access your web site via tor.

Hmmm, maybe you should try to access it via a standard browser? :)

Or maybe you should make it Tor friendly?

Bitcoin related sites that block Tor have a very specific bad smell.

This issue has not come up for us before. We will look into this, and if it makes sense for us, meaning that the benefits outweigh the risks, we will implement!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Most of my web browsing is using Firefox on Qubes OS with a Whonix gateway and much of my BTC transactions are done using TailsOS on a USB drive (thanks @DarthCoin). Both setups use tor for accessing the internet. It seems that many bitcoiners prefer online privacy, especially when transacting with their bitcoin, and therefore are using similar setups. Your current configuration forces people back out on the clearnet to access AirBTC's web site.

Thanks for this. I didn't know that many users would prefer using TOR to access Airbtc. Will definitely check out the possibilities of allowing TOR access.
