I know i got a few PMs about some of his trades getting reversed and asking for info about him,but I don't know anything about them

It wasn't , if you would like verification I can send you the receipt from the purchase of the license.
I don't need it, I believe you (specially because it isn't all that important now, whether you bought the license or not). I just remembered of that because I read a web hosting forum where lots of people try to use nulled software and then their servers get suspended, and go cry in others' shoulders...
Recently a security flaw was found in WHMCS (the script that we were using). Due to this out VPS provider shut down our VPS so that their could be no security breach. This was not requested by me.
I only hope this flaw and VPS shutdown aren't caused by the use of nulled WHMCS... any way, it's gone.
From an email from coindomains.net
Hello everyone,
Recently a security flaw was found in WHMCS (the script that we were using). Due to this out VPS provider shut down our VPS so that their could be no security breach. This was not requested by me.
Somehow in the process of shutting it down they have managed to delete the VPS. I have been in contact with them and they can not recover it.
To me this seems like the perfect time to tell everyone that this service was not financially viable in it's past capacity. This does not mean I will not be supporting current clients, I will be but only via email.
I will be working with everyone one on one to find the best end result for everyone involved.
From what I can determine there are three options:
You keep your domain with me and I will continue to support it via email.
Create a free account on internetbs.net and I will push the domain to your account. (Giving you full control over the domain 24/7)
Transfer the domain to another register. (Normally costs)
Of course if you choose to transfer it to your own account on internetbs.net I will gladly help you renew it with bitcoins.
Thank you for your understanding and support,
Brendan

I already have contacted Internet.bs about making sure my domain doesn't get transferred off Internet.bs
Yea I got the same information from him about the auto transfer, I should of verified it with the registrar first.
I'm just worried about him selling my domain since it was a transfer, and is maybe 10 years old and worth at least $500 in today's domain market...lol
If I get an reseller account,I may offer it as a service to bitcointalk members.
I only figured out the site was down because someone else contacted me, if I knew any info about the guy because they got scammed for a bitcoin to PP trade.

I transferred a domain to CoinDomains not long ago. I am/was happy with the service - the transfer completed and my domain is working. Their website is down on my side, too.
Before transferring the domain, I expressed my concern in an email I sent to admin at coindomains.net: "If for some reason Coin Domains goes out of business in the next year, what would happen to my domain?". In a reply, it was explained to me that...
I'm not sure how well that system works if their server is fully down - and of course it may be complete marketing/scamming BS. According to the status and authorization request emails I received while the transfer was being processed, I understood Coin Domains was a reseller of Internet.bs, at least for the .com domains:
Assuming that two-weeks-timeout recovery system is not a lie, that the "admin panel" and timeout-recovery-system is the one on Internet.bs side, and that nobody logins into that panel for the next two weeks, then I think we should all receive an email from Internet.bs asking us what to do with the domains, in two weeks.
I'm assuming that Coin Domains simply used Internet.bs' reseller API: https://internetbs.net/ResellerRegistrarDomainNameAPI/
It mentions no recovery system, but (and since at least my domain has already been paid, or it would have gone down already) the domains are paid so I wonder what Internet.bs can do if a reseller goes out of business. IMHO, ideally they should be able to transfer the domain to an internet.bs account of your own, free of charge, so you could manage your domain.

In regards to Coin Domains closing, the likelihood of it happening is very low. Even so, it's good to have backup plans. As such we have a system were if our admin panel does not get logged into for 2 weeks, an automated message is sent out to all clients with details on how to recover domains.

Internet.bs Corp. has received a request from Coin Domains on September 5, 2012 for us to become the new registrar of record.
(Internet.bs is a fairly well-known and established registrar with great prices. I'd have gone with them if I wasn't paying in bitcoins.)Assuming that two-weeks-timeout recovery system is not a lie, that the "admin panel" and timeout-recovery-system is the one on Internet.bs side, and that nobody logins into that panel for the next two weeks, then I think we should all receive an email from Internet.bs asking us what to do with the domains, in two weeks.

I did transfer 1 domain name to his company for webhosting, I'm going to attempt to contact his registar and attempt to get back control of my domain.
I will update this thread with any progress
I have been able to regain control of my domain name.
So I was able to complete my business with him.
I've gotten a few PM's about Goilio reversing some paypal trades for bitcoins.
I will leave this thread open if anyone else wants to post about that or has problems getting back there domains.
It appears that he got in over his head, and coindomains.net was profitable like he thought it was going to be.
