There is no 'easy' onion address, only ones that look like they
are. Faking facebookcorewwwi takes the same effort as any other.
Getting an onion that starts with facebook but does not end in
corewwwi is much easier (by the factor 1099511627775), but that
is true for any other eight character prefix as well.
