+ Automatically listen on Tor
155
+ ----------------------------
156
+
157
+ Starting with Tor version 0.2.7.1 it is possible, through Tor's control socket
158
+ API, to create and destroy 'ephemeral' hidden services programmatically.
159
+ Bitcoin Core has been updated to make use of this.
160
+
161
+ This means that if Tor is running (and proper authorization is available),
162
+ Bitcoin Core automatically creates a hidden service to listen on, without
163
+ manual configuration. This will positively affect the number of available
164
+ .onion nodes.
165
+
166
+ This new feature is enabled by default if Bitcoin Core is listening, and
167
+ a connection to Tor can be made. It can be configured with the ` -listenonion ` ,
168
+ ` -torcontrol ` and ` -torpassword ` settings. To show verbose debugging
169
+ information, pass ` -debug=tor ` .
