Title: Cannot get inconming connections using bitcoind -tor
Post by: SHUTTEHFACE on January 05, 2020, 08:18:31 PM

Hi All,

Recently setup a bitcoin node. Opened port 8333 and all was working well. Then decided to set it up over tor and I only seem to get incoming connections when running bitcoin-qt vs. bitcoind. Am I missing something? Appreciate any help.

Thanks,

STF

Actually.. might have jumped the gun. Maybe they take a while to come in?

Code:

(base) [shuttehface@manjaro tor]$ sudo bitcoin-cli getpeerinfo | grep true
[sudo] password for shuttehface: 
    "relaytxes": true,
    "addnode": true,
    "relaytxes": true,
