Liteocoin over Tor (.onion node)

Hello,

Does anyone else here run a Litecoin full node with a "hidden" service address.

Anyway, I would be interested to add node manually since mine doesn't seem to connect to anyone over Tor.

I am currently running a full LTC node on mqgmba4o453jwdjd.onion:9333 that is stable and open to the public

Code:

litecoin-cli addnode mqgmba4o453jwdjd.onion:9333 add

...or add it to your litecoin.conf file or use litecoind -addnode=mqgmba4o453jwdjd.onion

If you are new to Tor, run a full node on a Debian or Ubuntu-based distro, you can easily add Tor to your Litecoin networks:

Code:

# apt-get install tor

Edit you /etc/tor/torrc file if you want to run your own hidden service and/or setup your ExitPolicy.

Next, make sur that Tor is running with your latest config:

Code:

# /etc/init.d/tor restart

Default settings should be good for a localhost-only proxy.

You can then (re)start your Litecoin daemon :

Code:

litecoind -onion=127.0.0.1:9050 -discover -addnode=mqgmba4o453jwdjd.onion

This will make your daemon connect to IPv4, IPv6 and Tor networks at the same time, and manually add my Litecoin node to your peers.
