Yes exactly. Where it is hosted? who own server?

1) Even where blockchain.info is hosted?
2) who own blockchain server and on which data center?
3) Who has access to that server?
4) What about blockchain backup in case of server crash?



Hi, you must be new here! Let me show you around a bit.

1.) dont know, but geoIP might give you a hint
2.) blockchain.info is not the blockchain. I have a "blockchain server" at home. Plenty others (I recently read several 100k) have as well. Basically everyone that uses bitcoin core.
3.) which server? mine? me and my family
4.) ah no, if it crashes Ill just get a copy from one of the other people running bt-core.

enjoy your stay, and read way more than you write.

I think Sirius still owns bitcoin.org and bitcointalk.org. We know that theymos now runs bitcointalk.org and bitcoin.it. It is possible that theymos is also running it now.

Last I heard, sirius owns bitcoin.org. As for bitcoin.it, that's run by MagicalTux (Mark Karpeles), who you may know better as the current owner of MtGox.

I really like your answer, and thanks DeathProxy.

So who is Sirius? And theymos?

Satoshi handed the forum down to Sirius during the sourceforge days I think.
It's kind of mind-blowing to be reminded of just how recent that was. Sourceforge 5 years ago...

...we are still in the earliest of days, ladies and gentlemen.

Satoshi handed the forum down to Sirius during the sourceforge days I think. Sirius created Bitcointalk. Then, the permissions were handed down from him to Theymos. Theymos is the current Admin/overseer/*Insert BDSM pun here*/Sadistic Staff Member (LOL, lied about were the BDSM pun belongs.)

Think that the keys were transferred to Theymos that said the wiki says he still has control

On a somewhat related note... I have a hunch that Butterfly Labs is operating these websites as funnels to their products. Hardware recommendations all point to BFL.

http://www.bitcoinx.com

Can anyone confirm?

I've been speculating about who runs Bitcoin.org

They say nobody is in control of it but... Of course there is!

Who stays behind it all?
