Comment (by cypherpunks):

 @dgoulet If you could please have a look at 7cbqhjnlkivmigxf.onion

 It is an index of .onion addresses with the first seen date of each onion
 shown in parenthesis.

 As an example, if you search for the onion crate, you'll see three similar
 looking links but differing first seen dates.

 The onion crate - Tor hidden service index

 7cbqhjnlkivmigxf.onion (2016-06-11) (Verified)
 7cbqhjnpcgixggts.onion (2016-10-10) (Phishing link)
 7cbqhjnlkikwzipx.onion (2017-08-11) (Phishing link)

 I think the users would be better off if they can verify that
 7cbqhjnlkivmigxf is indeed the oldest key of those 3 and therefore the
 original.
