kiwi_46shake: is this jurov guy the is one who running this?
kiwi_46shake: I received a message from admin@bitcoin.foundation and asking me for 10 Bitcoin. I looked up and the domain
https://bitcoin.foundation is real and is registered until 2028! Than I did a search in Bing and find thebitcoin.foundation and I having hard time to understand what is going on.
shinohai: also, "bitcoin.foundation" has nothing to do with here
shinohai: this is "THEbitcoin.foundation"
kiwi_46shake: Not that easy. the bitcoin.fooundation domain has MX records at protonmail so I doubt you can forge that one, it is also signed by DNSSEC.
kiwi_46shake: shinohai for me sounds silly to have the THEbitcoin.foundation domain when there is a bitcoin.foundation domain already.
kiwi_46shake: I looked up the DNS records of the bitcoin.foundation domain and it is hosted in Russia, China, and Iran (moscow, shanghai and tehran respectively) something very strange about that domain
kiwi_46shake: still the A records on bitcoin.foundation pointing to China, Russia and Iran
years125: kiwi_46shake would you get the hell out of here? you're most likely the same sad bastard who came here selling the bitcoin.foundation domain some time ago
snsabot: Logged on 2020-08-16 14:13:45 kiwi_91: I own bitcoin(.)foundation we invested more than $100,000 USD in this premium domain
kiwi_46shake: I see bitcoin.foundation and AFTER I see thebitcoin.foundation
kiwi_46shake: on bing.com when you search for "bitcoin foundation" I see sometimes bitcoin.foundation is the first beating even bitcoinfoundation.org and thebitcoin.foundation so I think something is very very strange
kiwi_46shake: whoever operates it, it seems that planning for a long time since the whois says Registry Expiry Date: 2028-08-04T08:07:35Z that is 8 years! But thebitcoin.foundation will expire next years, seems to me no longterm plans...
kiwi_46shake: thebitcoin.foundation is a shitty domain compared to the bitcoin.foundation domain
kiwi_46shake: I come here to tell you that THEbitcoin.foundation domain is sounds more scam than the bitcoin.foundation which actually really sending emails asking for Bitcoin
kiwi_46shake: I was astonished by this and whoever runs THEbitcoin.foundation website should really take care about the bitcoin.foundation
kiwi_46shake: I mean, if I see THEfacebook.com and facebook.com I probably immeditelly think that THEfacebook.com is a scam which I did in the case of THEbitcoin.foundation and bitcoin.foundation, your domain is long and AUTOMATICALLY makes me think you guys are scammers
kiwi_46shake: If I'm jurov I would contact the owners of the bitcoin.foundation and make a deal like Zuckerberg made a deal to buy facebook.com instead of stucking with the scam thefacebook.com
kiwi_46shake: I mean if this group "THEbitcoin.foundation" is serious than fucking go and ask the owner of the bitcoin.foundation what to do. There is an email on
https://bitcoin.foundation (membership@bitcoin.foundation) maybe try that one jurov or whoever you are.
mats: ah yes the solution is to negotiate with the terrorists
snsabot: (asciilifeform) 2020-11-06 asciilifeform: jurov: if you won't moderate #therealbitcoin (or give op to someone who will) i'ma drop it from the logger. it's turning into a cesspool of
spamola .
mats: lol, this grifter could've saved 8+ years worth of domain fees if he had spent thirty minutes doing research
