Trouble activating a new Onion node

Is there a latency between a node coming online and it being reachable by your scripts. I’m currently running an onion node and can verify that I’m receiving inbound connections. I can also verify the node is reachable using bsd-netcat:

nc -v -n -z -X 5 -x 127.0.0.1:9050 somebtconionnode.onion 8333

But when I try to activate somebtconionnode.onion:8333 (made up name) through https://bitnodes.io/nodes/somebtconionnode.onion-8333/ it never transitions from DOWN to UP. What’s more, I’m connected (outgoing) to a half dozen onion nodes. Since I’m connected to them, they must be reachable for inbound connections on the network. If I try activating those nodes, I get the same results as my node.

Do I need to have my onion up for 24 hours or something before it can be activated on bitnodes.io? Is there anything else I should do?

I’ve also included my actual node info in an attached PGP file for @ayeowch

@brianddk The crawler connects outbound only. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses published on the website is mostly informational to let node operators know that the connection originates from Bitnodes.

This should be fixed now with https://github.com/ayeowch/bitnodes/commit/8d42c7ad4804b539a9af2619c8e8bed90dcb5a62
