Receive via TOR using a QT Wallet

First let's lay out the overall procedure, more detailed instructions with screenshots are below:

1. Request the Payment to your TOR address (you can find it in the Receive Tab)
2. Dont close the wallet until the payment was received

• Once the payement is sent, you will have a pop-up confirming that you received a payement, but at this step the transaction still UNCONFIRMED and it's in AWAITING CONFIRMATION as you can see below :

• To check the current status of the transaction go in the Transaction tab. As we saw before the transaction still have no confirmation yet, you will need at least to wait 2 min to see it as confirmed.

• Once the transaction is confirmed and so received, the recipient needs to wait enough confirmations (set to 10 blocks by default) to spend the fund received recently.

• Once 10 confirmations (10 minutes) are reached, the recipient received his fund and can spend it directly after.
