This is obviously part of the cicada 3301 puzzle.

99999 has two prime factors: 41 and 271.

41 + 271 = 312.

312 is the area code for Chicago.

The name Chicago comes from the Algonquin word “Chicagou” or “Shikaakwa,” which translates to “onion field” or “wild garlic.”

The answer clearly lies with the site 41271312wildgarlic.onion

99999 translates loosely to "Run up your post count."
