    <p>Thanks Alec,</p>
    <p>I am wrapping my head around alot at the moment, yesterday was
      the first day I had an onion service!</p>
    <p>I am passing the information and links you have provided back to
      the Bisq network engineers (this is unfortunately not where I am
      at). <br>
    </p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>They have asked me to ask here also if, when connected to a
      hidden service, the circuit becomes "dirty" after default 10
      minutes and resets?<br>
