    <!-- Describe the issue -->

    Have the same issue as this on stackexchange , which no one can answer yet, but on Linux Mint 19.1 BitcoinD doesn't create a hidden tor service.

    <!--- What behavior did you expect? -->

    In log should get: tor: Got service ID XXXXXXXXXXX, advertising service XXXXXXXXXXX.onion:8333

    <!--- What was the actual behavior (provide screenshots if the issue is GUI-related)? -->

    Instead get: tor: Supported authentication method: NULL tor: Using NULL authentication tor: Authentication successful tor: Add onion failed with unrecognized command (You probably need to upgrade Tor)

    <!--- How reliably can you reproduce the issue, what are the steps to do so? -->

    To reproduce: Start bitcoind.service

    <!-- What version of Bitcoin Core are you using, where did you get it (website, self-compiled, etc)? -->

    Using 0.18.0 binary from bitcoincore.org

    <!-- What type of machine are you observing the error on (OS/CPU and disk type)? -->

    On: Linux Mint 19.1 i7 SSD disk

    <!-- For the GUI-related issue on Linux provide names and versions of a distro, a desktop environment and a graphical shell (if relevant). -->

    <!-- Any extra information that might be useful in the debugging process. -->

    <!--- This is normally the contents of a `debug.log` or `config.log` file. Raw text or a link to a pastebin type site are preferred. -->

    Did the troubleshooting in linked tutorials, without success.
