# Morphit v1.0.0-beta.37
|
|
|
|
This release leans into privacy. Every Morphit instance is now reachable over **Tor by
|
|
default** — operators no longer have to set anything up, and Tor Browser is offered the
|
|
`.onion` automatically. Prices are now averaged across **many independent market feeds**
|
|
instead of leaning on one, so no single source can break or skew them. The order pages
|
|
get more polish, the app loads a little lighter, and setting up your own instance is
|
|
friendlier than ever.
|
|
|
|
As always, Morphit keeps no data about you, and there's no sign-up or ID check. If you're
|
|
already signed in, your account, keys, and balances carry over untouched.
|
|
|
|
## Privacy
|
|
|
|
- **Reachable over Tor, automatically.** Every instance now generates and serves its own
|
|
Tor `.onion` address as part of setup — no extra steps, no key-grinding. When you visit
|
|
over Tor Browser, the site advertises its onion (via an `Onion-Location` header) so the
|
|
browser can offer you the `.onion` without you doing anything. VPN, Tor, Lokinet, and
|
|
I2P access were always welcome here; now the onion is on by default, not an afterthought.
|
|
|
|
## Prices you can trust
|
|
|
|
- **Many feeds, averaged.** Instead of relying on a single price source, Morphit now
|
|
gathers prices from several independent feeds and takes the middle (median) value, with
|
|
outliers dropped. If any one feed is down, wrong, or rate-limited, it simply drops out
|
|
of the average — it can never skew or break the price. The price is still only ever used
|
|
to work out amounts for you; it is never treated as a source of truth for anything else.
|
|
|
|
## Placing and editing orders
|
|
|
|
- **A more polished order form.** Number fields highlight in red the moment something's
|
|
out of range (rather than a confusing mix of colors), the terms box shows a live
|
|
character count as you approach the limit, and the payment-method picker has consistent
|
|
hover highlights throughout. Barter listings explain what to describe more clearly.
|
|
- **Lighter, faster pages.** The order and sign-up pages now load their heavier pieces
|
|
only when you actually reach them, so the first paint is quicker.
|
|
|
|
## A few nice touches
|
|
|
|
- **Profile pages** show the Nostr and Blurt.media links neatly stacked at the corner of
|
|
the avatar.
|
|
- **Settings** — the "Set up two-factor authentication" button now has a clear, visible
|
|
hover so it's obvious it's a link.
|
|
- As with recent betas, **this release changes no third-party dependencies.**
|
|
|
|
## For operators
|
|
|
|
- **A Tor onion is generated for you.** The setup wizard creates a `.onion` in the
|
|
background while you answer the other questions — instant, no waiting, no vanity
|
|
grinding. It never overwrites an address you set yourself, and a matching Tor role in
|
|
the shipped Ansible playbook serves it. (A custom vanity onion is still a manual step
|
|
if you want one.)
|
|
- **Hardening, by default and hand-held.** The wizard now walks you through securing your
|
|
server — SSH lockdown, firewall + fail2ban, automatic security updates, kernel
|
|
hardening, and intrusion detection — as a short run of "yes" confirmations, and the
|
|
Ansible hardening role applies all of it for you. Your server is locked down on the
|
|
default path, not as an afterthought.
|
|
- **Setup remembers where you left off.** If you get interrupted partway through the
|
|
wizard, run it again and it offers to pick up where you stopped — re-asking only the two
|
|
things it never writes to disk (your database connection and your relay's active key).
|
|
- **More resilient pricing.** Your instance's fees and floors stay aligned with the
|
|
market using the same multi-feed median, so a single feed outage doesn't knock anything
|
|
over.
|
|
|
|
## Housekeeping
|
|
|
|
- A large internal audit pass, a leaner "Run a Morphit node" guide, and tidied-up
|
|
translations across all ten languages. These are behind-the-scenes; nothing you do
|
|
changes.
