Bitcoin's motherland suddenly vanished.  WTF.   :o

The timing is suspicious.  Perhaps heam@signint.google.mil is upset and wants to send a message (ie, he is butthurt XT is going nowhere fast)?

^Access, verify, and amplify.  If any text deserves be encoded on the Blockchain, it would be that site.

Never visit the site before. Look at reddit comments it must be a huge thing. I hope that the site will be back again after a while. Archive is slow and not tje same for moat website.

This what happens to your website when you are against Bitcoin XT  ::) I hope the website goes back online pretty soon even if I never heard of it honestly

Poor little iCEman. Have you learned a lesson? If not:

Well, I learned a good lesson today, and you guys taught me well. I was wrong for staying in this sub, for keeping an open mind about Core, when it turns out the community here is full of censorship-loving downvoting lickspittles who don't understand that "Appeal to authority" is a dead end for Bitcoin, even if the authority is Nick Szabo or Satoshi or Galactus FFS.

Yes, I've learned you Gavinistas are some very mad, extremely butthurt, bros because XT is going nowhere fast.   ;D

The web site was obscure, but now more people than ever will hear about it and read the archive, thanks to the Streisand Effect.   :)

You seem more butthutt by the current situation than everyone else in this forum BTW.

I'm not the one whining about 'zomg censorship.'

Did you notice Zar left out this part of the quote?


I wonder why.  Maybe this is the cause of his butthurt.

Still down.  This site is worth a two dozen Slashdots and a million Reddits.

I demand Something Be Done!   >:(

Does this help - http://nakamotoinstitute.org/literature/ ?

I don't think it's anywhere close to szabos one...what about trying to ask him? It should restore him atleast some faith in bitcoiners.

LOL butthurt much?

It contains standalone copy of his papers from szabo.best.vwh.net.

Funny that you didn't open a thread when xtnodes.com was DDOSed.

xtnodes being down is comedy, szabo.best.vwh.net being down is tragedy.

Not convinced Szabo actually uses his twitter account anymore, that or he had a personality transplant recently.

Makes me wonder whether this is somehow connected.

Many links from the last ~20 years go there.  EG, the classic http://szabo.best.vwh.net/ttps.html

Oh look, it's back!    8)

Szabo has a wicked sense of humor, and will burn fools to ash if their obnoxious assclowning (EG, XT governance coup) disturbs his customary sangfroid.

I haven't followed Szabo, but I recently looked at his twitter account. I seriously wonder how anybody could think that Szabo is Satoshi besides working on the same technical topic, they don't seem to have much in common.

Hey, some people even think that Gavin might be Satoshi.
That truly makes one wonder... WTF?

They both have forsaken bitcointalk, so they have that in common  :)

After I check Satoshi's posts (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3;sa=showPosts) - Szabo is not Satoshi any way.

szabo.best.vwh.net is back up again today.

I don't know how long it was down for, but it's OK now. Why would it go down when other vwh.net sites were still up? Updating the content can't require taking it down. Did Szabo deliberately take it down, then restore it when he read how much people in this thread missed it?
