Comment (by teor):

 arma asked me on IRC how to make a hidden service address no-one has ever
 posted.

 This command will do it:

 {{{
 export TORDIR=`mktemp -d`
 src/or/tor DisableNetwork 1 DataDirectory "$TORDIR/data" HiddenServiceDir
 "$TORDIR/hs" HiddenServiceVersion 3 HiddenServicePort 1
 # type ctrl-C
 cat "$TORDIR/hs/hostname"
 }}}

 It can be used for v2 or v3 by modifying the HiddenServiceVersion option.
