Title: Who will join us today for SOPA Blackout? Post by: FairUser on January 18, 2012, 10:45:03 AM I am amazed at how few sites in the bitcoin community are not supporting the blackout today. I just visited most of the other pools and several bitcoin blog sites, and it seems only BitcoinPool (https://www.bitcoinpool.com) is supporting the SOPA blackout. We would like to encourage other pools or bitcoin related sites to join us in doing so.
We think it boils down to this: If they get the equipment in place and legislation passed then what will stop them from censoring port 8333 instead of port 53? A few thousand angry bitcoin users? BitcoinPool (https://www.bitcoinpool.com) is not doing a complete blackout, but every page on the site will have a blackout overlay until you click on it.

Intersango wanted to do a blackout too, but we couldn't because: - Our legal policy is that we give 5 days notice of any downtime. - Site changes have to be tested. Changing the code for an exchange is not a light matter. :( |
