Wow I wonder how much compute it took them to generate that hidden service name.

  I tried one of the older, shorter .onion addresses once out of interest. Didn't take long on a laptop to get a specified 7 characters at the beginning. I don't know how much the longer .onions affects generation time - anyone?

    Is there a script to do that or did you roll your own?

      I used https://github.com/katmagic/Shallot https://github.com/katmagic/Shallot back then and it took 35221958203 attempts to find one with my chosen seven characters. For the longer v3 .onions you'll want a different tool, this page mentions some and makes some estimates for finding increasing lengths of characters: https://www.jamieweb.net/blog/onionv3-vanity-address/ https://www.jamieweb.net/blog/onionv3-vanity-address/
