 ohai all
 First ticket.  I tried to setup a hidden service using an ipv6 rather than
 an ipv4, in torrc:

 {{{
 #HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/
 #HiddenServicePort 80 <IPV6>:80
 }}}
 After restarting tor I get the following error:

 {{{
 Checking if tor configuration is valid [notice] Tor v0.2.3.19-rc (git-
 adf14e42194ebfb7) running on Linux. [notice] Tor can't help you if you use

 }}}
 It appears this does not work with IPv6.  feature request :D.
