[tor-talk] .onion name gen

Hi,

creating a 1:1 copy of an onion key is very hard. You need much luck or
computing power to generate a key with the exact same hash as the key
you want to copy.
With modern computers and graphic cards it's very easy to find a key
with the same 4 digits but a whole 1:1 copy seems to be impossible at
the moment.

The README describes the problem a bit:
