Zcash addnode Tor hidden service .onion

Hello @xyZcash. Thank you for producing this guide. I have attempted to document my experience following this guide, as well as the others you have referenced, in this github gist in hopes of turning it into a comprehensive step-by-step guide for “Installing and Running Zcash over Tor”.

A couple of questions for you if you don’t mind my asking:

  1. Would you be willing to give it a quick review / sanity check to make sure I’m not suggesting that people do anything that’s obviously wrong? There are a few questions throughout the guide as well that I need help answering.

  2. After following the steps in my guide (and by proxy, your guide, since mine leans heavily on yours) nyx is throwing me this error:

13:50:02 [WARN] Your application (using socks5 to port 8233) gave
Tor a malformed hostname: [scrubbed]. Rejecting the connection.
[489 duplicates hidden]

Do you know why nyx might be giving me this error? (perhaps one of the steps in my guide above is incorrect?)

Regards, dp
