Dear Patrick,
you use a new onion url, http://xxxxxxxxxxh5kyrx.onion.
Whats the name of the software you use to customize the first 10 letters and how long it takes to get the URL?
And is there any news from the torproject, how safe and secure it is to use a customized URL?

I guess you’re better of asking in general than me specifically. Fortasse keeps care of onion domain creation.
And is there any news from the torproject, how safe and secure it is to use a customized URL?I am not aware of such discussions, I suggest to ask on the tor-talk mailing list.
I use scallion (https://github.com/lachesis/scallion), and the keys should be just as secure as other 1024 bit keys (https://github.com/lachesis/scallion#security).
Be aware you will need a pretty powerful computer, or the process of generating the key will take quite some time.
Hope that helps, and sorry for the late reply.
