I'd like to announce Scallion, an OpenCL vanity .onion address generator. It gets around 600MH/s on a 6870 (similar on a 5770), allowing it to generate an 8-character prefix in just 15 minutes on average. It's written in C# and runs in both Linux (on Mono) and Windows.
Update (23 Nov 2013): I'm now generating vanity .onion addresses for a small fee. See the
Scallion as a Service documentation for more details. In particular, 7 and 8 character .onion addresses are free if you send me a dirty limerick featuring Tor in some way.

Contact me through the email given above or with a PM here.
I mentioned this in
a thread over in off-topic, but that's not really the right spot for a project announcement.
Features:
1) Blindingly fast - 600MH/s vs. 2MH/s for shallot
2) Performs PKCS #1 v2.1 sanity checks via openssl's RSA_check_key function
3) FOSS - MIT licence
4) Support for 1024, 2048, or 4096 bit keys
5) Estimates time required to generate a key (on average)
