Once compiled, run it like `./mkp224o neko`, and it will try creating

keys for onions starting with "neko" in this example; use `./mkp224o

-d nekokeys neko` to not litter current directory and put all

discovered keys in directory named "nekokeys".

onion addresses use base32 encoding which does not include 1,2,7,8,9

about how long it's going to take, especially when the most of users

If your machine is powerful enough, 6 character prefix shouldn't take
