For those perhaps not so well versed in the operation of Bitcoin (and Bitco=
in Core) with Tor, connectivity through the outgoing connection to other no=
des is all accomplished via the socks5 proxy which enables all current goss=
ip and the distribution of the nodes own transactions to other nodes. This =
is a full connectivity feature.

For listening, Bitcoin Core instructs Tor to create an ephemeral hidden ser=
vice which, depending on the various factors, may be currently v2 only or v=
3 (future implementation). This is not necessary for the functionality of n=
ode connectivity in any way and is only used to allow for hidden listening =
so that other nodes connecting out on the onion can connect privately witho=
ut hopping on the public internet at all and without exposing the nodes pub=
lic IP or ports as listening (no port forwarding required and no listing on=
 nodes list with public IP). It is currently possible for many nodes to exi=
st as onion only nodes.

For the time being, although I did wonder myself, the use of v3 ephemeral s=
ervice is not a requirement of operation on Bitcoin and hardly adds anythin=
g to security especially if we enable transient onion listening (a feature =

v3 ephemeral service as the v2 service support will, as I understand, event=

My opinion is, v3 support is a nice idea but hardly urgent yet. Good luck i=

Hello,

Yes, that is correct. Currently at present moment only v2 onion services
are supported. Bitcoin Core is limited at 128 bit 'addresses' in the p2p
protocol, so it requires a rework of the p2p protocol. v3 onion services
are whole ed25519 public keys, base32 encoded with .onion at the end.

Same reason applies to I2P 'address types' as well. However, I am not an
expert in I2P and don't actually know how many bitcoin full nodes might
exist in I2P.

See:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/9214

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/2091


For the default `ADD_ONION` feature, the onion service key was
downgraded to explicitly RSA1024 (legacy, v2 onion services) to ensure
the feature still works out of the box:

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9234

If you want a Tor only full node, you are best to use v2 onion services
for now. Why do you need the bitcoin node to explicitly have a v3 onion
address? You can have a service that is accessible to the general public
as a v3 onion service, and in the back uses a bitcoin full node that
uses v2 onion service to talk to other nodes. The v2 onion service
bitcoin network is extended fairly.

You can use in the same torrc (Tor configuration file), implicitly same
Tor process/daemon simultaneously v2 and v3 onion services by setting
HiddenServiceVersion parameter after every HiddenServiceDir parameter.
