Description
For improved privacy we ought to try an amend the script to download bitcoin binaries and signatures from bitcoincore.org's new hidden service: http://6hasakffvppilxgehrswmffqurlcjjjhd76jgvaqmsg6ul25s7t3rzyd.onion/

Contributor guide
Research direction
Read the shell installation scripts and trace how Bitcoin binaries and signatures are currently downloaded. Check the linked bitcoincore.org hidden-service post, then determine where Tor availability and the .onion endpoint fit. Done means the script tries Tor first and fetches the binaries and signatures through the hidden service.
