It's in plain text in your logs because there isn't much point hiding it from you -- the .onion address (and corresponding key) are already written in a text file on your system. > Has my hidden service address been revealed to these nodes Probably not these nodes, since your Tor failed to establish an introduction circuit to them. By 'introduction circuit', I mean picture one in http://www.torproject.org/docs/hidden-services.html.en >or anyone else? You are probably telling your introduction points about your hidden service, but that's how the design works (and you do it using a Tor circuit). You're also telling the hidden service directory points about your hidden service, but again that's how the design works (and again it's over a Tor circuit). My guess is that what's happening is Tor is trying to pick introduction points, and establish circuits to them, before your Tor is quite bootstrapped. Should be harmless. --Roger _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
