Force bitcoind to communicate over tor - addnode variable

zerotobtc opened this issue · 1 comments

I'm currently in chapter 14.2 and want bitcoind to exclusively communicate over tor. The instructions are pretty straightforward but in the second part it says:

seednode=address.onion
seednode=address.onion
seednode=address.onion
seednode=address.onion
addnode=address.onion
addnode=address.onion
addnode=address.onion
addnode=address.onion

and I'm not sure, what to do here... I took a look at the bitcoin wiki and there they specify the ip-address of the node to connect to. I think I need to do this here too, but it doesn't say so in the instructions?

https://github.com/emmanuelrosa/bitcoin-onion-nodes provides a listing and an example of how to add them. I've added that explanation to the text.

Thanks!
