RetroShare certs

Hi. New PC here. I couldn't manage to get my friends up and online even though I created a new node under the same profile. It's simpler to create a new cert at this point. Looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones of course! Cheers

I've been online now for 4 days.  I found 3 of the xml certs files and added them all.  It looks like I am connected to a ton of people who supposedly share files but I can only see one persons file list so far.  Is this normal after 4 days?
Hey, everyone! Add me pls! Hope i did everything right!

Any pointers on how to do this?  I thought I followed the tutorial at the beginning of the thread

@Like Ra I think the answer is I picked note type of "Hidden Node" and it crashed because it could not connect to tor.  I then selected the Tor over I2P and that worked but I guess not.  I cannot seem to figure out how to get tor as a service working on linux mint.
I think Tor should be a part of RetroShare package, no?

@Like Ra I am using an app image retroshare-gui-latest-x86_64.AppImage.  When I create a profile with Tor it says "Sorry but Tor cannot be started on your computer.  Error Unknown."  

I assumed that it could not find the installed tor service on my machine but maybe I am making false assumptions.
OK, trying to get started with RS:

Sadly it's not a Tor (DarkNet/Hidden) cert. Your IP-address is visible. Hope you get it to work.
Trying again, last time i choosed manual option.
