Do You Have Pre-2012 Onion Issues?
On Hacker News, users are discussing whether they still hold .onion addresses that were generated before Tor’s 2012 redesign. The conversation notes that earlier onion services used 16‑character identifiers, which were later replaced by longer 56‑character addresses for improved security. Participants are sharing experiences and asking how to recognize or migrate legacy onion links in today for users.
