I have to mention that I set the 3 lines under "Control Port" instructed in the tutorial below, without it, the onion address wont show up:
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.

Appreciate the reply

As I was telling Cricktor above I'm feeling this is a little over my head - I dont have a torrc file in my tor directory so I tried saving a torrc file there with those 3 lines. The node crashed so I deleted it again

That tutorial is a hard follow. In number 2 'Cookie authentication' where is the CookieAuthFile and how do I enable read access?

Number 3; I save

Code:

HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/bitcoin-service/
HiddenServicePort 8333 127.0.0.1:8334

as torrc file and run

Code:

./bitcoind -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 -externalip=7zvj7a2imdgkdbg4f2dryd5rgtrn7upivr5eeij4cicjh65pooxeshid.onion -listen

from what location? and how do I generate my onion address?
