Apparently Roger Vermin is interested in buying the domain. Hopefully Cobra won't get tempted.
The scammer was always ready to purchase it. Despite my dislike of Cobra, I do not think that he is that dishonest.
I really can't say anything about him as I barely know Cobra, but let's just say that money can easily change people's minds so let's not slash out this possibility.
Speak for yourself. It can do so for weak willed people and those that were actually corruptible to begin with. Money just makes them expose their true character.

Lol how do you not choke on your own words scammer

Saying cobra is a cancer? Wft? Are you high again?

Nobody gives one fuck about your scammer opinion on others morals.

You are cancer scumbag.

Cobra already gave this forum to theymos and by your convoluted logic you claimed it was done for nefarious reasons.

The guy is graciously leaving with a nice polite message and a scamming piece of dirt like you starts bad mouthing him.

Stfu.

I would say he should just hand it to theymos but since theymos allows proven scammers like you to endanger the forum with your scamming and trust abusing honest whistleblowers then than is cause for concern.

I would say cobra should pass it to partially  theymos part someone 100% honest who will never tolerate any scamming or injustice at all.

I would give it to ver over you or anyone of your pals.

But a quick scan in "Meta" shows me it is not discussed here.

To be pedantic, it arguably doesn't belong in Meta as bitcoin.org and bitcointalk.org are two distinct and separate websites.  I can see why they're still traditionally associated together, though.


I write in beginning that I am not active in this forum an I am impression that  he owns both domain. Now I am clear.

Anyway, there was an annoucement of theymos about the ownership separation between bitcointalk.org and bitcoin.org. Cobra now owns bitcoin.org and it's legal if he wants to sell it: Domain name update.

You might want to correct the title of your thread - there's user



feedback accepted.


Is anyone from this forum like Theymos can get this domain too?
Do Theymos or anyone in this forum expressed interest in getting the domain.

Hope the domain is transferred to someone with a neutral view around the Bitcoin conspiracies.

IMO people or organization who directly involved in Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency or Blockchain world most likely can't be neutral.

I don't get why they can't be, but they should be to boost the community interest in Bitcoin. I even think Cøbra was a neutral guy afterall.


Would/could this be something Bitcointalk can use some of the forum's funds for if it comes to that?
Not that I expect Cøbra to sell out like that, but it could be a good use of forum funds in the interest of Bitcoin in general.

It's more about the future ownership of the domain in right hands, than the funds involved. Just saying.

Though I'd like to stay optimistic, time will tell if Cobra's going to hand over the domain to someone reputable or just sell it. After all, he said he's going to retire the "Cobra" pseudonym, so his reputation after handing over or selling the domain wouldn't really matter.

I think handing it over to an organization, or at least a small group of people, rather than a single person would be a much better solution. Such an organization could include people with the most commits to bitcoin.org, such as Will Binns and David Harding, the most commits to bitcoin core such as Wladimir van der Laan and Pieter Wuille, and some other well known and trusted developers like Greg Maxwell and Andrew Chow. These are just names I've pulled off the top of my head - would be interested to hear other suggestions (or indeed, if the people I've named would actually have any interest in doing so).

After saw the announcement, i think lukechilds to transfer the domain to EFF or Linux Foundation is good idea.

He might assign someone else to purchase, who knows.

I doubt it is going to be a purchase and also Roger Ver will not be able to find a trustable person to represent him, or will a trustable person going to play his game.
Besides:

Current active contributors like Will Binns and Craig Watkins are already among the people I had in mind.
Unless some past questionable behaviour is unearthed, it makes the most sense to go with them, but one of the reasons why I created the issue was to get alternatives to the "obvious" choices.

If the right person is chosen, we will be finally rid of this cancer. Very good improvement.

And one more question arises, will he want to part away with "Bitcointalk.org" domain too? (I remember he own this domain too).
OP, how about this one:
Topic: Cobra's open letter to the Bitcoin community to change the mining algorithm

Yes, @cobra once sent the letter.

Or maybe this thread can add information.
Topic: Does Cobra control something over Bitcointalk and Bitcoin.org ?
