Title: Bitcoin.org Post by: MX450 on June 16, 2014, 03:17:47 AM I've been speculating about who runs Bitcoin.org
They say nobody is in control of it but... Of course there is! Who stays behind it all? Title: Re: Bitcoin.org Post by: DeathProxy on June 16, 2014, 03:52:03 AM I think Sirius still owns bitcoin.org and bitcointalk.org. We know that theymos now runs bitcointalk.org and bitcoin.it. It is possible that theymos is also running it now.

It is possible that theymos is also running it now. I really like your answer, and thanks DeathProxy. So who is Sirius? And theymos? Title: Re: Bitcoin.org Post by: DotSauce on June 16, 2014, 04:37:28 AM On a somewhat related note... I have a hunch that Butterfly Labs is operating these websites as funnels to their products. Hardware recommendations all point to BFL.

It is possible that theymos is also running it now. Think that the keys were transferred to Theymos that said the wiki says he still has control https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Sirius Title: Re: Bitcoin.org Post by: DeathProxy on June 16, 2014, 12:16:35 PM I think Sirius still owns bitcoin.org and bitcointalk.org.

Satoshi handed the forum down to Sirius during the sourceforge days I think. Sirius created Bitcointalk. Then, the permissions were handed down from him to Theymos. Theymos is the current Admin/overseer/*Insert BDSM pun here*/Sadistic Staff Member (LOL, lied about were the BDSM pun belongs.)

It is possible that theymos is also running it now. Last I heard, sirius owns bitcoin.org. As for bitcoin.it, that's run by MagicalTux (Mark Karpeles), who you may know better as the current owner of MtGox. http://www.mistresskang.com/Bitcoin/3.html Quote 03:52 theymos That's not true at all. I've never removed a moderator. And I'm not the only administrator: Gavin was the one who made me an admin. Title: Re: Bitcoin.org Post by: TheEvilSocks on June 16, 2014, 03:08:02 PM Never thought about this question.
Thank you for your answers guys! Title: Re: Bitcoin.org Post by: bcoins on June 16, 2014, 03:20:23 PM Yes exactly. Where it is hosted? who own server?
1) Even where blockchain.info is hosted? 2) who own blockchain server and on which data center? 3) Who has access to that server? 4) What about blockchain backup in case of server crash? Title: Re: Bitcoin.org Post by: icet208 on June 16, 2014, 06:01:33 PM everyone knows who are this guys sirius and theymos? I know that sirius is running bitcoin.org

Hi, you must be new here! Let me show you around a bit. 1.) dont know, but geoIP might give you a hint 2.) blockchain.info is not the blockchain. I have a "blockchain server" at home. Plenty others (I recently read several 100k) have as well. Basically everyone that uses bitcoin core. 3.) which server? mine? me and my family 4.) ah no, if it crashes Ill just get a copy from one of the other people running bt-core. enjoy your stay, and read way more than you write. |
