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
The directories in the tutorial is geared towards Linux, for Windows, use windows folder structure.
So, in number 3 (
preferred for your use-case), for example.
Your torrc file should have something like this if you want to save your "
Bitcoin Onion Service" directory to Drive D:
HiddenServiceDir D:/Bitcoin-onion-service
HiddenServicePort 8333 127.0.0.1:8334
After you restart Tor, you'll see such folder in D:/ and you can find a "
hostname" file containing the onion address that you need to set as
--externalip.
