2015-11-10	net: Automatically create hidden service, listen on Tor	Wladimir J. van der Laan
	Starting with Tor version 0.2.7.1 it is possible, through Tor's control socket API, to create and destroy 'ephemeral' hidden services programmatically. https://stem.torproject.org/api/control.html#stem.control.Controller.create_ephemeral_hidden_service This means that if Tor is running (and proper authorization is available), bitcoin automatically creates a hidden service to listen on, without user manual configuration. This will positively affect the number of available .onion nodes. - When the node is started, connect to Tor through control socket - Send `ADD_ONION` command - First time: - Make it create a hidden service key - Save the key in the data directory for later usage - Make it redirect port 8333 to the local port 8333 (or whatever port we're listening on). - Keep control socket connection open for as long node is running. The hidden service will (by default) automatically go away when the connection is closed.
