This tool easily generates a set amount of .onion addresses with a set prefix (vanity addresses).

## Usage
1. Download the latest release from the [releases page](https://github.com/feloex/vanity-onion/releases)
2. On Linux/MacOS, you need to give the binary execute permissions:
```bash
chmod +x vanity-onion-linux-amd64
```
3. Run the binary with the desired prefix and amount of addresses to generate:
```bashbash
./vanity-onion-linux-amd64 hello 5
```
This will generate 5 .onion addresses that start with "hello"

The generated addresses and their corresponding keys will be saved in the `keys` directory.
