-----------------------------+--------------------------------
 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.
