I guess features are not implemented to feature running illegal businesses.

Sure. That assumes, that bitcoind will make non-torified connections incoming or outgoing. Not sure about that, see below.

Are you sure about that?

What kind of incoming connections are we talking about? There are two kinds of incoming connections. I haven't found a good summary and try to explain it. When one fetches a web page, you usually do not need any router port forwardings / open ports. Not an open port in that sense. Bitcoin is capable of the same. I've used Bitcoin-Qt inside Whonix, where no incoming connections of that sort are possible without using hidden services and it worked [tested client functionality only]. [In Whonix also no untorified connections are possible.] So in client mode, Bitcoin does not seem to require any more connectivity than a web browser.

Using a hidden service can be compared with the anonymous equivalent of opening a port in a router. Both, a hidden service and an open port allow one to run a server. Server software will be able to answer requests by other clients, such as web servers will be able to answer web browsers and they knew nothing about beforehand. and didn't expect [In comparison to pure client mode, clients such as web browsers can only get incoming connections for stuff they recently asked for and are prepared to receive.]

If it were the case, that Bitcoin makes non-torified connections when only using the socks proxy and not using Tor hidden services, then https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/tor.md should probably make that clear. At the moment that is not the case.

I can imagine it's a service for the network.

If it's hosted by trusted peer, that would make sense. Otherwise risk to connect to the type of person "exit node mitm" would be even higher.

Is (solo) mining or over Tor less efficient than (solo) mining in the clear?

Referring to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/tor.md "Run a bitcoin hidden server"...

What is a bitcoin Tor hidden service good for? Is there any benefit for the user? Does the network benefit as a whole? Does it help mining? Anything else?

Can do it, why not. (Not a must, only if you like of course.)

Yes, that needs update/rewrite.


Does FreeBSD have a secure package manager?

Does it defend this (w)?

Does it cover the TUF threat model (w)?

Can every user download from an already existing '''signed''' repository or is it required to run an own repository?

Not sure how rsync helps? Its just a great tool to conveniently sync files, but doesn't help with verification, unless download over ssh.

AFS: Any link to information how to use it?

Who signs packages? Must mirrors be trusted or do signatures come from OpenBSD?


Yes.

user <-> user ISP <-> internet <-> OpenBSD ISP <-> OpenBSD server
       MITM less likely for this route |  no help for this route

The second part of my answer was supposed to answer that.
