I am thinking of writing a module for the Home Assistant platform that would handle the tor install and setup, and it could autogenerate this QRcode as well. Any thoughts on a format? torhs://clientname:authcookie@foo.onion looks decent. ___ tor-dev mailing list tor-dev@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev

An interesting Orbot feature to have is making QR Codes of authenticated Hidden Service info so mobile devices can easily add each other to a trusted network. That is a great idea.

Any thoughts on a format? torhs://clientname:authcookie@foo.onion looks decent. Yes this looks good but I think changing the URI to tor:// should be enough since there aren't different types of Tor only locations? ___ tor-dev mailing list tor-dev@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev

This is a somewhat different use-case (Twisted endpoint strings) so perhaps it's actually bad if they're the same, but the "onion:" prefix I think fits with the push to call these things Onion Services (instead of "hidden services") too... -- meejah ___ tor-dev mailing list tor-dev@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev

You probably want to coordinate with ricochet if it doesn't already have such QR sharing feature. ___ tor-dev mailing list tor-dev@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev
