So I must ask the question: what is the rational for a bitcoin node to be hidden? ie to use RDV points like hidden services?
For me the rational for bitcoin is to anonymize communications between nodes and/or clients, typically who sent this tx, not to hide that you are operating a bitcoin node, then back to what I sent earlier I tried to find the explaination in the bitcoin docs before sending this post but did not find any, except referring to the fact that bitcoin communications should be anonymized, which does not need RDV points Another question is why to mimic the Tor network for RDV points with .onion addresses? The answers might be "this is what exists and we have no other way to do it", I am proposing another way I will not repeat what I wrote before, but I am operating node-Tor nodes inside the Tor network since ~10 years, the js implementation of the Tor protocol had not been easy (as well as putting everything inside browsers) but I consider that the most difficult had been to handle all unexpected events that happen inside the Tor network, even after selecting carefully the nodes and testing them, this is a mess, nodes are coming in, going out, responding, not responding, responding correcltly or all of a sudden responding shxtty stuff, I was even considering to get the entropy for the js prng from all of those unexpected events I don't think that any other people except the Tor project team know this, a good example is http://peersm.com/peersm2, see the logs (destroy and destroy and destroy) and how long it takes to establish 6 circuits knowing that our server is the first one in the path (eliminating one dubious node among 3) I am not "promoting" this, everything is open source now and it is made to be used, and I think that my proposal has some interest, using the Tor network for bitcoin is a very bad idea, for security and performances reasons Le 18/11/2019 à 17:44, Carl Dong via bitcoin-dev a écrit : > Hi Mr. Lee Chiffre, > > I have been working on an implementation of addrv2 (BIP-155).
