haven't paid (and won't be paying) them any more money though... just waiting on enough funds to do it in bulk instead of one domain at a time.

Why do you still have cryptoanarchy.us on this list?
Because `grep` (see original post) caught this.
Code:
Created by Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC.
I removed it. Thanks.

Yesterday, Go Daddy’s new CEO Warren Adelman posted this short statement in Go Daddy’s forums:
Go Daddy opposes SOPA because the legislation has not fulfilled its basic requirement to build a consensus among stake-holders in the technology and Internet communities. Our company regrets the loss of any of our customers, who remain our highest priority, and we hope to repair those relationships and win back their business over time.

This reads, to me, as if Warren Adelman's only concern is GoDaddy's stock value. To hell with holding any convictions as to whether a law is good or bad for a community--regional or global.

I'm not sure if Warren is addressing this toward GoDaddy's customer base or stockholders.

Is there any domain registrar that supports bitcoin? Rob, with your new fame and support for Namecheap, perhaps you could suggest that they accept bitcoin. Perhaps you could make a note of it directly on your post.
*Fame* LOL
I'll drop it into their customer support email, but you should too.

A better way to fight against GoDaddy:
https://plus.google.com/115702843161763309837/posts/2QqAe6xP7Xk
GoDaddy has been a supporter of SOPA which has caused many to boycott them.
Here is an even better way to hit them in the bottom line...
Add this somewhere in your webpage (you can just stick it somewhere in the footer)
http://www.namecheap.com">Domain Registration
GoDaddy is #1 in google for "Domain Registration", but if enough people link to this (it doesn't take much) they will be nocked out of the coveted top spot. This will be a huge dent in their revenue stream, as I think their target audience are people that just chose the first google result.
This is referred to as a "google bomb" and it works by the fact that search ranking is based upon the the weight of the links pointed to a page. The name of the link helps them correlate the search terms that match with the link.
Namecheap was chosen as they have a high ranking (so they have a good chance at popping to the top) and has been vocal in being anti-SOPA. You can use the coupon code "SOPASucks" to get a discount there too.
I just added it to editthis.info and cueflash.com (both with a page rank of 5). That will hit them in the SEOs.

Go Daddy No Longer Supports SOPA
Looks to Internet Community & Fellow Tech Leaders to Develop Legislation We All Support

[email protected]
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (Dec. 23, 2011) - Go Daddy is no longer supporting SOPA, the "Stop Online Piracy Act" currently working its way through U.S. Congress.
"Fighting online piracy is of the utmost importance, which is why Go Daddy has been working to help craft revisions to this legislation - but we can clearly do better," Warren Adelman, Go Daddy's newly appointed CEO, said. "It's very important that all Internet stakeholders work together on this. Getting it right is worth the wait. Go Daddy will support it when and if the Internet community supports it."
Go Daddy and its General Counsel, Christine Jones, have worked with federal lawmakers for months to help craft revisions to legislation first introduced some three years ago. Jones has fought to express the concerns of the entire Internet community and to improve the bill by proposing changes to key defined terms, limitations on DNS filtering to ensure the integrity of the Internet, more significant consequences for frivolous claims, and specific provisions to protect free speech.
"As a company that is all about innovation, with our own technology and in support of our customers, Go Daddy is rooted in the idea of First Amendment Rights and believes 100 percent that the Internet is a key engine for our new economy," said Adelman.
In changing its position, Go Daddy remains steadfast in its promise to support security and stability of the Internet. In an effort to eliminate any confusion about its reversal on SOPA though, Jones has removed blog postings that had outlined areas of the bill Go Daddy did support.
"Go Daddy has always fought to preserve the intellectual property rights of third parties, and will continue to do so in the future," Jones said.

You divide you page rank by the links on the page. More links means less weight per link. Being targeted matters.
This assumes that Google does not lower the ranking of pages appearing to participate in a "google bomb".
Not likely. This is more of a real positive link, rather than ones like "miserable failure." Their bot should see this as just other sites voting up namecheap over godaddy.

GoDaddy is #1 in google for "Domain Registration", but if enough people link to this (it doesn't take much) they will be nocked out of the coveted top spot. This will be a huge dent in their revenue stream, as I think their target audience are people that just chose the first google result.
This is referred to as a "google bomb" and it works by the fact that search ranking is based upon the the weight of the links pointed to a page. The name of the link helps them correlate the search terms that match with the link.
Namecheap was chosen as they have a high ranking (so they have a good chance at popping to the top) and has been vocal in being anti-SOPA. You can use the coupon code "SOPASucks" to get a discount there too.
I just added it to editthis.info and cueflash.com (both with a page rank of 5). That will hit them in the SEOs.

if you think SOPA is bad, what could be done instead to effectively downsize piracy on the internet?
Oh the old trick of the trolls 
The "propose something good against X or accept Y" (even if Y isn't related to X in anyway, like sopa with piracy) as i understand, in your view sopa is bad, it has nothing to do with piracy other than sharing common term and it seems you want to completely ignore piracy issue. right?
you imply piracy is there to stay and nothing can be done, it will exist forever. to which i can agree with you partially that we won't be able to get rid off it completely.
in my view some measures should be taken to protect IP and copyrighted material more effectively than what current laws do. if you can't see or agree that piracy is an issue on the internet today, then there is not much left to talk about i guess on this issue.
anyone else care to elaborate what could be done to downsize piracy on the net? or how SOPA could be used to censor the internet? excluding wikileaks example, as it's obvious and probably single instance where sopa could be utilized in such a way.

That remind me about the Ubisoft DRM, they made them to fight piracy. Result? Pirates still happily crack their games like before while honest buyers have to battle with the drm and all the problems it create.
Did DRM do something against piracy? No. But omg it was CREATED to fight it!

i just read a few different pages about how to transfer a domain from godaddy to namecheap...
BUT...
does anyone know how to transfer them in bulk? it seems you need to get an auth code emailed to you for every single domain :/

I have read enough for the past couple of hours, the too little too late sentiment regarding GoDaddy is sticking with me strongly.
I am going to look at the options people are making available, and I have no spare cash so if this is something that will cost me anything, than I am fucked here until next week sometime, but what are the best options? I have seen some links for pages to make transferring off GoDaddy so simple, but they are all down. Not that I can't figure out the back end of GoDaddy to transfer shit out of there, but I am lazy and enjoy reading large jpgs of text that offers things in five easy steps.

Parsons stars in a self-help video blog, released bi-monthly on his website. His sidekick in the elaborately-produced videos is a busty blonde named "Leann" who inexplicably breaks into fake gangsta slang at random times. Episode #35 of Parson's blog is called "How to grow STEEL BALLS (even if you're a woman)."
Parsons cannot get enough attention. He loves publicity so much that GoDaddy called off an IPO in 2006 because of a "quiet period" which meant Parsons would have had to cancel his Internet radio show and stay off TV and radio. "For us, the quiet period that came along with the I.P.O. filing has been suffocating," he wrote on his blog.
He once wrote about how he was a fan of abusing Guantanamo Bay detainees because it was "incredibly mild" compared to what the terrorists were up to. Then he backed down after public outcry.
Parsons' YouTube account features a 7-minute trailer to his 2009 wedding video. His wedding video has a trailer. And it looks to have been shot for IMAX.
Parsons lives according to 16 principles, including such revolutionary mantras as "take things a day at a time" and "solve your own problems."
Parsons' Twitter handle is Drbobparsons. But his bio states "Not a real doc." In fact, Parsons received an honorary doctorate of "Humane Letters" from the University of Maryland.
He has a giant diamond stud in one ear.

I removed GoDaddy as a certificate authority from my OS a long time ago, so I always see which sites use one of their certs. Always amuses me when I go to a site that's supposed to be super-secure and their cert is signed by GoDaddy, which is one of the most unreputable companies around.

At first they were like ""Go Daddy has received some emails that appear to stem from the boycott prompt, but we have not seen any impact to our business. We understand there are many differing opinions on the SOPA regulations."
but then "Go Daddy will support it when and if the Internet community supports it."

BTW i don't agree with my government on many things, some might even say my views are anti-american as i mock all of its political circus, i'm all for free speech and i'm concerned about piracy as well.
whoever above said gov could shutdown anyone with SOPA, the gov will need to build the case and argue that it is piracy or counterfeit related, otherwise they would not a stand a chance shutting down sites left and right without any legal justification and evidence of crime. do you honestly think if they censor your or anybodies else's site based on SOPA and you have nothing to do with piracy and counterfitting you won't be able to defend your case? and what kind of case will prosecution have if they can't present evidence of pirating or counterfeiting ?

Actually I'd like to go back to something you posted earlier.
I don't believe SOPA will be an effective method in censoring the internet. Every time a gov wants to censor something they would have to tie it up with piracy or counter-fitting, other than cases such as wikileaks it will be very hard for them to justify and prosecute a censorship case with SOPA. and people will take notice and react if it occurs, so I'm not really worried about SOPA censoring anything effectively. but the issue with piracy remains...
If it does pass, it will be easy to get around it as you said. However this brings up a whole new set of problems as outlined in this paper

The U.S. Government and private industry have identified Internet security and stability as a key part of a wider cyber security strategy, and if implemented, the DNS related provisions of PROTECT IP would weaken this important commitment.
DNS filters would be evaded easily, and would likely prove ineffective at reducing online infringement. Further, widespread circumvention would threaten the security and stability of the global DNS.
The DNS provisions would undermine the universality of domain names, which has been one of the key enablers of the innovation, economic growth, and improvements in communications and information access unleashed by the global Internet.
Migration away from ISP-provided DNS servers would harm efforts that rely on DNS data to detect and mitigate security threats and improve network performance.
Dependencies within the DNS would pose significant risk of collateral damage, with filtering of one domain potentially affecting users' ability to reach non-infringing Internet content.
The site redirection envisioned in Section 3(d)(II)(A)(ii) is inconsistent with security extensions to the DNS that are known as DNSSEC. The U.S. Government and private industry have identified DNSSEC as a key part of a wider cyber security strategy, and many private, military, and governmental networks have invested in DNSSEC technologies.
If implemented, this section of the PROTECT IP Act would weaken this important effort to improve Internet security. It would enshrine and institutionalize the very network manipulation that DNSSEC must fight in order to prevent cyberattacks and other malevolent behavior on the global Internet, thereby exposing networks and users to increased security and privacy risks.

First, the DNS filters that would be required to enforce SOPA could be easily defeated, rendering them useless. Criminals could develop ways to redirect users to DNS servers outside the U.S. and SOPA’s influence, and users may even look for these foreign and/or unregulated DNS servers if the sites they are trying to locate have been blocked in their ISP’s DNS as a consequence of SOPA.

if SOPA goes into effect, who do you think in terms of censorship will be government's targets, who will they shutdown on premises of SOPA?
Anyone and anything they don't like. Tomorrow it might be all sites related to Bitcoin.
And they won't need to justify it to anyone or need any court approval... just like with America's assassinations through the use of drones.
You may agree with your government today but what about the next one which comes to power in the traditional ways governments come to power ( more often than not having little to do with anything like democracy )?
If we could trust entities like this we wouldn't need things like Bitcoin.

I will be starting the process of moving away from goaddy in the first week of the new year if they do not so that they may reverse their position on SOPA.
Take decisive action to cause effective action else immediate penalty. When I read if I hear never. Take a stand for what you believe and let them know.
but no one can explain how it would be effectively utilized in such a way ?

If I lived in the United States it would concern me greatly that my government is granting itself unjust powers, whether it only affects others, or is only theoretical, or not defensible. All Americans it seems are criminals by some law or another. It's sick. You should fight it at ever step of the way and try to reverse the trend. Go take a poll. Does any citizen actually support this bill? Question your democracy.

How SOPA's 'circumvention' ban could put a target on Tor
I'm sure the same reasoning could be used for bitcoin when it is used to circumvent payment processor blockades to controversial sites.

My thread wins by about 4 hours. You didn't see it because I decided to be "good" and put it in the "Politics & Society" sub-forum.
As I point out in that post, Godaddy goes by many names, including "Domains By Proxy" "Wild West Domains". The most highly rated comment of this reddit thread explains how to avoid such pitfalls. In general, watch for the star trademark* in the logo and avoiding any registrar making use of "SECURESERVER.NET."
Not true!
Due to the SOPA, the Pirate Party of Canada has moved from GoDaddy to NameCheap for their domain hosting.
Did You Say “Intellectual Property”? It's a Seductive Mirage(Essay by Richard M. Stallman)
The problem is that the "Intellectual Property" narrative is fiction. You can't transfer ideas, only share them. You can't destroy ideas, only suppress them. One thig I found disappointing about that essay is that RMS did not make it clear that "Intellectual Property" does have a technical legal meaning, related to the GATT treaty forming WIPO. Recent treaties such as ACTA repeat the same language.
The biggest problem with "Intellectual Property" is that it tramples property rights. I can no longer easily buy a "general Purpose" computer: they are being increasingly locked down so as to resemble consoles or cell-phones. Speaking of consoles, Sony remote revoked "Other OS" functionality on the FAT PS3's at the mere hint that somebody may be able to break out of the hypervisor. That is, millions of comsumers have had their property tampered with in the name of protecting "Intellectual Property" like copyrighted games.
*I have not verified that it is a registered trademark.

if someone want's to share their work it is their choice right as it is their right if they want to sell or license their work. presently, piracy unpunishably undermines abilities of those who wish to offer their works on limited terms. that is the issue.

I don't honestly think that it will be possible to protect IP in the future. I'm just stating this as a fact and not trying to present an opinion in favor or against the concept of IP. Organizations will have to develop business models that don't rely on IP protection.
there is nothing wrong with open source as there is nothing wrong with closed source models. if someone want's to share their work it is their

if you think SOPA is bad, what could be done instead to effectively downsize piracy on the internet?
Oh the old trick of the trolls The "propose something good against X or accept Y" (even if Y isn't related to X in anyway, like sopa with piracy) as i understand, in your view sopa is bad, it has nothing to do with piracy other than sharing common term and it seems you want to completely ignore piracy issue. right?
you imply piracy is there to stay and nothing can be done, it will exist forever. to which i can agree with you partially that we won't be able to get rid off it completely.
in my view some measures should be taken to protect IP and copyrighted material more effectively than what current laws do. if you can't see or agree that piracy is an issue on the internet today, then there is not much left to talk about i guess on this issue.

I'm looking for a registrar with sub-10-dollar renewal fees for com/net/org/in domains, and a pretty and functional administration interface.
If anyone has any recommendations or even referral codes, feel free to post them.

other than cases similar to wikileaks, i don't see how SOPA could be effectively utilized to censorship internet. people would take a notice and react so pretty much censoring with SOPA would be counter-productive as people won't be stopped from talking and spearing information, not in this day and age.
on the other hand piracy is pretty much mainstream now with torrents, firesharers, and streaming sites. if you think SOPA is bad, what could be done instead to effectively downsize piracy on the internet?

As any government censorship, sopa will only hurt honest ppl. Pirates are already doing illegal things, one more won't stop them. Pirates will probably keep doing what they are already doing
December 23, 2011, 11:31:11 AM
i bet most pirates are jumping on censorship bandwagon opposing SOPA
December 23, 2011, 11:29:35 AM
the concern that SOPA could somehow be used for censorship is reasonable and understood.
what do people who oppose SOPA suggest instead for dealing with and or fighting piracy though? from producers' perspective current dcma is poorly effective.
What has piracy to do with sopa? Nothing. Oh there is PIRACY in the name?what do people who oppose SOPA suggest instead for dealing with and or fighting piracy though? from producers' perspective current dcma is poorly effective.
So if i call it "anti terrorism act" it automagically become a thing against terrorism? Wait so if i call it "anti drug acts"...

This sucks. I have always been on the edge about godaddy. They have provided me good support and service for YEARS but also have been on the wrong side of numerous issues. With this one they are shooting themselves in the foot on so many levels. Under the guise of protecting American business and jobs, SOPA will actually cause both to disappear when foreign customers of American businesses realize that they will now be under control of that law if they use the same companies. Most probably my new domain host will NOT be based in America.
It will be starting the process of moving away from goaddy in the first week of the new year if they do not reverse their position on SOPA. It will be a hard processes and while overall it will not cost money, it will cost money up front as most registrars require an extension with the move.
December 23, 2011, 09:39:21 AM
An important post in my opinion. SOPA is something everyone in this community should be well aware of and very strongly against. Any company supporting SOPA should be in immediate and absolute boycott. The last thing any Internet advocate wants or a Bitcoin advocate for that matter, is SOPA.

Godaddy always sucked, SOPA support is just another item in their suck list.
Only the fact of Godaddy stealing domains people search in their site is reason enough to keep me away from them.

Of course, but even those reasons are not powerful enough to argue or convince some or all human existences to not do business with them. It seems more powerful that their acceptance of SOPA is a strong reason to not do business with them. This post is an effort to spread awareness of those who do business with the evilness that is GoDaddy and perhaps an effort to convince them to not do so any longer.
