#18119: .onion domain names can be really short
-----------------------------+--------------------------------
Reporter: azazar | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: Medium | Milestone: Tor: 0.2.9.x-final
Component: Tor | Version: Tor: unspecified
Severity: Major | Keywords: tor domains
Actual Points: | Parent ID:
Points: | Sponsor:
-----------------------------+--------------------------------
It's quite easy now to use [https://github.com/lachesis/scallion vanity
generator] to generate .onion domain names such as aaaaaaaaaa<6 random
chars>.onion . If onion router will be able to resolve any currently
invalid, shorter domains, such as zxczxc.onion to aaaaaaaaazxczxc.onion -
we'll have have domains, that anyone can actually remember and those are
much more convenient.
