OpenBSD runs BitcoinD well.
Previously there's been a "net/bitcoin" port, discussed at
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&r=2&s=bitcoin&q=b&w=4 and
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=138471129220805&w=2 (whole thread
not
sure how to get the link).
Then that port disappeared, and it.. moved? reappeared? in openbsd-wip
,
which currently contains version 0.9.1 which is extremely old:
https://github.com/jasperla/openbsd-wip/tree/master/net/bitcoin .
What happened to the port?
It has never been imported to OpenBSD.
If anybody has followed up on
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=138470124406982&w=2 they haven't
shared their findings with ports@.
Thanks - here is my input on this matter:

I think everybody who proposes a bitcoin port should consider whether
something that seriously deals with people's money doesn't warrant
special auditing and whether they are prepared to invest that work.
I'm very uncomfortable with shipping our usual "it seems to build
and run for me" packages and having naive users actually put their
trust in them. But it is 0P3NB5D! 1T MU57 B3 S3KYOOR!
This is general computing issue. Neither OpenBSD nor any other open
source system comes with a guarantee that a particular port is fit for a
particular purpose.
Users will need to use any port or other software at their own risk.
So now.. what's the next step re getting net/bitcoin in?
