Topic: Custom Vanity TOR / .Onion Address Hashing - Upto 10 Characters (Read 784 times)

I thought I read somewhere that someone could safely generate a TOR public/private keypair for someone else, similar to how it works with Vanitygen mining for somebody else. They give you a certain key, and then the "miner" uses that to find the private key. However, the private key can only be found when put together with another string that the customer has, and doesn't send to the miner.

Maybe I'm just going crazy but I thought I read somewhere that the above idea is possible with TOR address generation in the last couple weeks.

That is intersting. I'll look into that... not sure how to set it up but I'll see if I can figure it out. Thanks!

A better idea would be to have/sell a tutorial as to how to hash the key to a vanity address and then rent your hardware so the work is gotten from a stratum server run locally by the purchaser.

I think it would still be possible to get the private keys but the risk would be somewhat less

Yeah, if I kept a copy of the key - which I won't because I take security very seriously. But - it's a valid concern, as there is no way I can prove it or myself.

I wouldn't start the next silk road using my service.  But an random torponzi or fatty porn site or whatever, maybe it's worth the risk to some people. Just trying to make some cash using old LTC hardware. It is what it is.

Wouldn't you be able to effectively perform MITM attacks against any hidden service that uses the address you hash for them?

Edit: I don't think it would technically be MITM but you could impersonate any hidden service that you hash the keys for

If you are looking to start a TOR hidden service and want a vanity URL, I can generate custom .onion addresses for you.

Number of Characters & Price:
4: 0.02BTC
5: 0.02BTC
6: 0.02BTC
7: 0.05BTC
8: 0.10BTC
9: 0.20BTC
10: 0.9BTC (3-8 day lead time)

After I have generated the adddress, you will be provided with the full host name and private RSA key for the address, sent to you using your Public PGP key.  

After you have confirmed receipt, I will it from my system using a 22 passes method.

As I am new, I am happy to use escrow.
