Hi all,

It's been almost 9 months since Tor v2 hidden services have been deprecated.
The Tor project will drop v2 support in about a month in the latest release. It 
will then be entirely be dropped from all supported releases by October.
More at https://blog.torproject.org/v2-deprecation-timeline .

Bitcoin Core defaults to v3 since 0.21.0 
(https://bitcoincore.org/en/releases/0.21.0/) and is planning to drop the v2 
support for 0.22 (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22050), which means 
that v2 onions will gradually stop being gossiped on the Bitcoin network.

I think we should do the same for the Lightning network, and the timeline is 
rather tight. Also, the configuration is user-facing (as opposed to Bitcoin 
Core, which generates ephemeral services) which i expect to make the transition 
trickier.
C-lightning is deprecating the configuration of Tor v2 services starting next 
release, according to our deprecation policy we should be able to entirely drop 
its support 3 releases after this one, which should be not so far from the 
October deadline.

Opinions? What is the state of other implementations with regard to Tor v2 
support?

Antoine
