Zcash addnode Tor hidden service .onion

All zcash (named) addnode=.onion project nodes have been upgraded to the latest Zcash and Tor releases;

Zcash v1.1.1 “Overwinter” ready!
Tor v0.3.3.7

Hello @durbanpoison !

This looks good thus far (not had time to review everything fully yet and will send you a PM when I have done).

Apologies to (@ everyone!) I have been away from the Zcash forums (and the internet to some extent) for a couple of months due to some unforeseen circumstances. Sorry!

Technical set-up has therefore taken much longer than I envisaged. However, all Zcash on Tor nodes have been continually upgraded to the latest versions of Zcash and Tor along the way. The Zcash on Tor network is Overwinter ready .

I’m proud to say that Zcash on Tor now operates 4 of the fastest Exit nodes on the Tor network (we are continually in the top 50+ of Exit nodes)!

With regards to my Zcash on Tor - Zcash Foundation Grant - the declining price of Bitcoin over the last few months (and downward pressure on Zcash) has been somewhat of a hindrance to my expected full work flow.

I therefore made the decision to continue to operate Zcash on Tor on a fully voluntary basis for the first 6 months. I’m now reviewing my future position in this regards. Obviously the majority of my Zcash Foundation grant remains in tact, which is a good thing!

Anyhow, I naturally have a lot to catch up on and a lot to get on with - a basic website for Zcash on Tor will be online by the end of this month and I have almost finalized the set-up guides / documentation.
