Anyone got any ideas why my tor hidden service is really hidden? Huh  Cheesy
I have Bitcoin Core in Windows, I've copied your config to reproduce the issue and the line mentioned by Cricktor shows up in the debug.log:
Code:
2024-04-30T03:59:39Z Bitcoin Core version v26.0.0 (release build)
...
2024-04-30T03:59:39Z System: Windows 10 Version 2009, x86_64-little_endian-llp64

2024-04-30T03:59:54Z [tor] Got service ID ygfjdib...o7myd, advertising service ygfjdib...o7myd.onion:8333
2024-04-30T03:59:54Z AddLocal(ygfjdib...o7myd.onion:8333,x)

I have to mention that I set the "Control Port" instructed in the tutorial below:
Try to follow either instruction number 2 or 3 from this tutorial: github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/tor.md
If you decided to follow number 3 instead, your onion address would be the one you set in -externalip.
