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,
Hi Mr. Lee Chiffre,
I have been working on an implementation of addrv2 (BIP-155). Is this what you
meant by I2P and Torv3 address support?
My WIP pull request: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16748
Merged BIP: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0155.mediawiki
Ongoing
The Tor team encourages active participating Tor nodes, preferably exit/
middle/guard nodes and not only client nodes, which is actually a significant
part of the reason that the documentation I put together in Bitcoin.SE does not
deal much with configuration tweaking Tor; as out of the box Tor
As I briefly sketched here before I think that a better long term
solution would be to link the bitcoin traffic with something like
node-Tor (https://github.com/Ayms/node-Tor)
Much more light (the whole code not minified is only ~1MB), not using
tons of libraries prone to security/maintenance
