Fully Noded - Bitcoin Core is designed to make using wallets via Bitcoin Core a breeze. Tor-Connect is a simple app with which runs the latest stable release of Tor. The point of Tor-Connect is to make running Tor on your Mac and creating/managing hidden services for Bitcoin Core easy for anyone.

"Tor-Connect makes using Fully Noded easier if running and configuring Tor from scratch was intimidating. Just run Bitcoin Core and Tor-Connect, export the rpcauth from FN to your bitcoin.conf, add the host address from Tor-Connect to FN and you are connected."
What's new (FN - Bitcoin Core)
