This issue was created retrospectively to track the creation of Onionmine.

I'm wondering if I should move this to the onion-services umbrella or if this tool is too simple/specific for the current S123 scope. @gaba, @gus, any idea about that?

Let's move it to onion-services/onionmine. It's quite common to have onion operators asking us about xyz tool to generate their vanity address.

Done. I'm keeping a fork in my space, useful for staging merge requests and other tests.

Regarding the operators asking for tools, I added in the README.md an explanation about vanity addresses which might be moved to it's own "Vanity Addresses" page at the Onion Services advanced docs.

@gus, do you think that the above explanation is worth to be moved there?

Nevermind. Just created an issue for that so I don't hijack this one, even if for a related topic: Vanity Addresses documentation (#84) · Issues · The Tor Project / Onion Services / Onion Support · GitLab.

marked this issue as related to #84 (moved)

Closing this issue since we have an initial prototype for Oniomine.

I tagged a 0.0.1 release and created issues to be evaluated later.
