No real reason for [onlynet=onion] other than trying to increase anonymity. ill try removing it. Unfortunately i could not get port 8333 open with this node (windows);
As long as the
proxy and
bind configuration is still intact, your node still communicates over Tor. Removing the
onlynet=onion will make your node accept connection from/to any network, but it is still through Tor since you have the mentioned configs.
With regards to output of addresses- no- did not show xxxxxxx.onion address; is blank so i believe without that, the node is unreachable to incoming peers.
I also guess it is likely the problem.
Just to make sure, did the debug.log show:
tor: Got service ID XXXXXXXXXXX, advertising service XXXXXXXXXXX.onion:8333
output?
And does the default bitcoin data folder, contain the "onion_private_key" file?
If there is none, I think the node couldn't automatically generate the Tor hidden service. Also, do you install/run Tor using the Windows Expert Bundle or not?
