Title: Who or What owns bitcointalk.org?
Post by: capn noe on October 09, 2012, 06:15:31 AM
I read that the hosting was provided by MtGox.

To whom? Who owns this place?

Sirius founded the forum and still owns the domain name, so I would say that he owns it.

But it was hosted on mt gox's servers at one point apparently.

Even if. So? This is a lie anyway, but even if Mt.Gox was selling a server space for Bitcointalk, so what?
Did you though few months ago that Mt.Gox will fail? No?
Perhaps IF they would have a server on MtGox exchange they though the same as most of us though?
That Mt.Gox is a good product? 

But. I am 99% sure they never had any related server with MtGox company server space or whatever like that.

No, he did host the forum on his servers for a short period of time, but it was moved a long time ago.

According to that you're wrong. And you made the point that this forum was older than gox, as if that invalidates the fact that it was hosted there.

We are currently hosted by Private Internet Access, a bitcoin-accepting VPN service. I would assume that we're also renting the physical server from them, but I'm not privy to those details.

Satoshi was a father - but he left it for others.
So IMO he do not owns it.
