Post by: Foxpup on April 06, 2013, 08:51:08 AM Clicking "New Identity" in Tor usually fixes any intermittent connection problems. Also remember that Tor can be very slow at times, sometimes taking several minutes to establish a connection, so be patient.
Title: Re: bitcoin client can't connect to Tor... Post by: BookLover on April 06, 2013, 01:35:57 PM You can speed up Tor and reduce the time it takes the bitcoin client to connect by adding a list of fast exit nodes to the torrc file and the command "strictnodes 1". You can also put several "addnode" commands with ip addresses from http://blockchain.info/ip-log (http://blockchain.info/ip-log) in your bitcoin.conf file. The second option is easier.
here is example format for the addnode commands in bitcoin.conf: Code: addnode=176.248.161.217 Title: Re: bitcoin client can't connect to Tor...
