Topic: FUN FACT: bitcointalk.org and bitcoin.org hosted on same web server (Read 1534 times)

Yes, I believe it was forum.bitcoin.org.

IIRC, the split happened because the libertarian troll-fest that is the forum was perceived to scare new users away. I believe there was a deliberate effort to suggest that this was not the "official" Bitcoin forum. Though, I don't think any of the attempts to start a better forum succeeded. (I avoided one simply because I do not like JavaScript)

Let's all take a moment to reflect upon the great Ayn Rand.

Bolded above has no relation to any express or implied statement of Ayn Rand.

You need to go back to Internet detective school...

bitcoin.net and bitcoins.org resolve to the forum's IP, where an HTTP redirect sends people to bitcoin.org. This implies nothing about bitcoin.org's ownership. bitcoin.org is hosted on a different server. It just means that I own bitcoin.net and bitcoins.org and redirect them to bitcoin.org.

I am in fact co-owner of the bitcoin.org domain name, though your evidence doesn't prove this. You'd be better off finding one of the several times I've mentioned this publicly...

    “Tell me, mother, how does it happen that the Bankers are so rich? Our teacher has told us at school that here are thousands of Bankers in the world who are millionaires. And yet the Bankers do not work. It is the non-Bankers who must work. The Banker only trades. But one cannot become a millionaire by trading with paper, bones, old clothing and furniture!”

    Mother explains how it is done.

    “The Banker is quite indifferent when the cheated non-Banker goes hungry. Bankers have no pity. They strive for one thing: money. They do not care two hoots how they get it.”

    Lauren asks how they can behave in this mean way. Mother answers:

    “Child, one thing you must realize. The Banker is not a person like us. The Banker is a Devil. And a Devil has no sense of honor. A Devil deals only in meanness and crime. You have read your Ayn Rand, Lauren. There it says of Banker economics : ‘You must eat up the capital of the earth!’ Do you know what that means? It means the Banker should destroy all other peoples. They should bleed and exploit them till they die. That is what it means.”

    Lauren tries to understand these things. Mother continues:

    “Yes, my child, that’s the Banker! The God of the Bankers is gold. There is no crime he would not commit to get it. He has no rest till he can sit on the top of a gold-sack. He has no rest till he has become King Money. And with this money he would make us all into slaves and destroy us. With this money he seeks to dominate the whole world.”

is that all you people ever do?  any time anyone points out youre a scumbag you conjure up some phantom evil banker nonsense?

where have I seen that before?

Nobody cares dude. What were you expecting, righteous indignation and rage? Sorry, I reserve that for banksters and fiatslaves.

IIRC, this forum used to be either a subdirectory or subdomain off of bitcoin.org. I vaguely remember when everything moved to "bitcointalk.org".

does everyone on here have brain damage?

bitcoin.net is registered to someone named MICHAEL MARQUARDT and it appears to be mainly Dutch based. (Dutch ISP for bitcointalk).  this same record by the name Michael Marquardt also supplies an email: [email protected]

This forum has much less computer literate people than it would appear. There's also way more functionally semi-literate people here that would seem to be required for the text-based communication medium.

Im sure that's what they would like people to think.

most people think bitcoin.org is the foundation.. its not

bitcoin.org is community driven and content is updated by developers..

bitcoin foundation do not control the domains but they do 'sponsor' the running costs. as thats one thing the members (not the board) want. the members(not the board) also want to ensure great people like gavin andressen get a wage so that he can continue to do what he does.

please do not confuse these facts of the members and community vs the foundations board decisions. they are two separate things

the same people are managing the content on here, who also manage the content at bitcoin.org?

you're confirming this?

IIRC theymos actually owns the domain bitcoin.org, so there is a good chance he would want them hosted together for simplicity.

Also I am sure that bitcointlalk.org is hosted on a lot more then one server considering how much traffic it supposedly gets.

Have fun, kids:
