The log message "Invalid onion hostname" is logged by "parse_extended_hostname" when the onion address is the wrong length or the wrong format.

Please retry on the client with the correct address.
Please also capture the failures out of the server log, not just the debug entries at the time - there's likely a disconnection from the network, or a descriptor upload failure.

No thanks. Happy to help, but it seems you have some sort of network issue. Adding another client won't tell me much more.
