Please help us test next-gen onions! by George Kadianakis.
From the webpage:
this is an email for technical people who want to help us test next-gen onion services.
The current status of next-gen onion services (aka prop224) is that they have been fully merged into upstream tor and have also been released as part of tor-0.3.2.1-alpha: https://blog.torproject.org/tor-0321-alpha-released-support-next-gen-onion-services-and-kist-scheduler
Unfortunately, there is still no tor browser with tor-0.3.2.1-alpha so these instructions are for technical users who have no trouble building tor on their own.
We are still in a alpha testing phase and when we get more confident about the code we plan to release a blog post (probs during October).
Until then we hope that people can help us test them. To do so, we have setup a *testing hub* in a prop224 IRC server that you can and should join (ideally using a VPS so that you stick around).

Too late for me to test the instructions today but will tomorrow!
The security you help preserve may be your own!
Enjoy!
