What Hacker News says
2 sourcesIndeed. For anyone unfamiliar with the nature of cryptographic hashes, each character increases the difficulty to get a collision exponentially.
~10 characters are easy enough to generate on a single machine so don't rely on a vanity-prefix and the trailing couple of characters only, but getting a new .onion address matching even half of an existing one within the lifetime of civilization is unrealistic even with state-actor resources.
You'd be better off trying to brute-force Satoshi's bitcoin private keys if you're feeling that lucky...
