Bitcoin core behind Tor Hidden service problem

[PsySc0rpi0n]

Hello.

I have installed Debian BullsEye in a RockPro64 board and I installed Bitcoin Core and Tor in it too.
When I setup an hidden service for Bitcoin Core, somehow I get 2 onion addresses instead of one.

My setup is the following:

/etc/tor/torrc

Code: Select all

ExitPolicy reject *:* # no exits allowed

ControlPort 9051
CookieAuthentication 1
CookieAutFileGroupReadable 1

HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/bitcoin-node-service/
HiddenServiceVersion 3
HiddenServicePort 8333 127.0.0.1:8333

I get a single onion address from:

Code: Select all

/var/lib/tor/bitcoin-node-service/hostname

At Bitcoin Core config file I follow instructions from their docs Method 2, here:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Setting_up_a ... en_service

But when I run:

Code: Select all

bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo

the output shows me 2 onion addresses instead of one. It shows an address I have no idea where it comes from, and the one I get from /var/lib/tor/bitcoin-node-service/hostname.

Why am I getting 2 onion addresses???
