Dumb me was trying to generate a vanity onion for 'sommerfeld' since in my mind that was just 8 chars and should be no challenge for a ryzen with 16 threads.

It's not 8 chars, it's fucking 10. Which means something that should take 9 hours, would take about 1 whole year!

Now I have to settle for 'sommerfe' 😡 whatever that means. I have to pick shorter nyms next time.
