Allow looking up the price through tor

See original GitHub issue

Hey, I’ve been trying to wrap spark-wallet in torsocks to only allow outbound connections through tor, in particular getting the price from bitstamp. However, I’m getting the following error:

$ torsocks spark-wallet --ln-path /var/lib/clightning/
1556879472 WARNING torsocks[31447]: [syscall] Unsupported syscall number 293. Denying the call (in tsocks_syscall() at syscall.c:568)

Spark wallet works as usual, but my wallet balance (in usd) remains n/a. I’ve been trying to debug this, but I have no idea why it shouldn’t just work. So I’m wondering if superagent does something fancy in the background.

Wasabi Wallet provides an API for the USD rate 😬

torsocks curl -X GET "http://wasabiukrxmkdgve5kynjztuovbg43uxcbcxn6y2okcrsg7gb6jdmbad.onion/api/v3/btc/Offchain/exchange-rates" -H "accept: application/json"                                                                                                                                                  
[{"ticker":"USD","rate":7272.75}]
