While we are no longer running Vanilla, Patreon badges are still being awarded, and shoutout forum posts are being created, because this is done directly in the database via an automated task.

   @Jack According to the Shallot docs it will take 2.5 years on a 1.5 Ghz CPU to generate 9 chars. However I think its possible to use a octo-core Xeon 3.2 Ghz to do it in a reasonable amount of time.. I have access to a server like that, i'll see what I can do.

   Well, since it's a probabilistic estimate maybe we'll get lucky ;)

   Well, the server thing didn't work out, just got replaced last weekend. Anyway I have a machine running right now 24/7 to generate biohackme*******.onion. Will take approx 55 days.. I'll check in when I'm done.

   Just a quick update on the tor onion address that is still being generated.. The process has been running for the past 23 days, that means I'm almost on 50% of my approx time of 55 days to generate the biohackme********.onion address..

   Server upgrades are now deferred pending a resolution in funding the upgrade.

   @Jack, Unfortunately the server had a power outage and the UPS was not able to hold long enough for the power to be restored. It's running again..

    Well, when 'bruteforcing' .onion addresses there is no beginning. Tries are random so it could be found tomorrow, or in one year. Who knows.

    Anything not already implemented from the list in the OP probably won't be, so I'm closing this discussion.
