lnd with custom tor domain name generated by mkp224o

[jrydval]

Hi guys!

I generated a few vanity .onion addresses for my lnd node using mkp224o utility.

Now I have them in hs_ed25519_secret_key files. How can I convert them for my lnd node? Can I "embed" the keys base64 encoded into v3_onion_private_key file?

Or is there a super-simple way?

Best Regards,
Jan

See discussion in #5750.

Just out of curiosity: where does the sudden interest in vanity tor addresses come from? You're the third person in a week with that question.

It is probably coincidence :-) I connected my lightning node to the TOR network on Friday and started browsing some TOR web sites and I realised that there are vanity domains... and also started wanting one.

Thanks for the reference!

We may have started this with our vanity address. First on the network that I'm aware of. Oops.

I have a script to do exactly this here: https://github.com/xanoni/tor-misc/blob/main/tor-privkey-to-base64.sh
