Is he making so much money that it's worth running for? Kind of doubt it...

[vm1990]

Second hand knowledge from the chat room was issues with either the server or DNS Register (technical difficulties). Admin's not "doing a runner" IMO.

FWIW: I have no affiliation with the site (save as another end user of course), was lucky enough to get that much info (I still managed to access the site briefly via entering the IP address directly when DNS issues started to occur before they took the site offline).

If that's so...why the SOPA image??

No idea about the story with the SOPA pic (last I heard that wasn't law in the US and died faster than PIPA/ACTA  ), I doubt the admins could do a runner as there really isn't that much to gain as opposed to keeping the site in operation

because to the hackers it was funny

if it was a REAL sopa type shut down it would be redirected to a .gov site with the image.

(not saying wasnt a runner, but my gut tells me it is a hack)

also i found the IP to get into coinvisitor instead of using coinvisitor.com address.  site still looks functional. definately looks like a hack (redirect sick joke).

IP 184.22.240.76

IP 184.22.240.76

So, you're visiting a site that may have been hacked and posting the IP so others can go there?
Not sure if visiting that IP is a smart idea

its not been hacked, just the DNS reroute done on the www.coinvisitor.com

it works up until you win a prize, i have instructions how to claim those prizes too

[FarmerBlue]

to get the Prizes page to pay out correctly it will show(on the lower portion of the screen where the advertisers part of the page usually is:

"This website is temporarily unavailable, please try again later. "
and just be a blank white screen

current url will show:
http://loop.coinvisitor.com/raffle.php?click=123456

just open a new tab

paste in the ip address followed with the  /raffle.php?click123456

you will get just the lower portion of the page with the prize solve that 1-click capitcha, then go back to page with the:

This website is temporarily unavailable , please try again later. message and solve that 1-click capitcha

you will see your bitcoins credit to your total and continual visiting pages like normal.


Remember This is a work around - I am not an expert, so use at your own risk. but from my limited knowledge it seems to be working this way for me and a few friends of mine.

Hacked ?

[weirdthall]

Yeah just really noticed the wording underneath...NOT the usual SOPA notice

[SRG]

It is even more hacked now, trololooo.

And yes Psy, I was a dumbass to go there.

For what I know the guy who posted the IP address could have been the one who hacked it and has some exploit there to try and steal wallets from computers.

No, I don't believe it was him who hacked it, but you can never be too careful with this stuff

You are right i might have been the hacker and so always be careful. But doesnt matter now because can no longer access site. even by IP.
