It is possible to run Darkcoin as a Tor hidden service, and connect to such services.
The following directions assume you have a Tor proxy running on port 9050. Many distributions default to having a SOCKS proxy listening on port 9050, but others may not. In particular, the Tor Browser Bundle defaults to listening on a random port. See [Tor Project FAQ:TBBSocksPort](https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#TBBSocksPort) for how to properly
configure Tor.

If you configure your Tor system accordingly, it is possible to make your node also
reachable from the Tor network. Add these lines to your /etc/tor/torrc (or equivalent
config file):
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/bitcoin-service/
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/darkcoin-service/
HiddenServicePort 9999 127.0.0.1:9999
HiddenServicePort 19999 127.0.0.1:19999

In a typical situation, where you're only reachable via Tor, this should suffice:
./bitcoind -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 -externalip=57qr3yd1nyntf5k.onion -listen
./darkcoind -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 -externalip=ssapp53tmftyjmjb.onion -listen
(obviously, replace the Onion address with your own). If you don't care too much
about hiding your node, and want to be reachable on IPv4 as well, additionally
specify:
./bitcoind ... -discover
./darkcoind ... -discover
and open port 9999 on your firewall (or use -upnp).
If you only want to use Tor to reach onion addresses, but not use it as a proxy
for normal IPv4/IPv6 communication, use:
./bitcoin -onion=127.0.0.1:9050 -externalip=57qr3yd1nyntf5k.onion -discover
./darkcoin -onion=127.0.0.1:9050 -externalip=ssapp53tmftyjmjb.onion -discover
