Bitcoiners BEWARE of Domains4Bitcoins!
This is the second time in a year that their parent company RESELL.BIZ has attempted to hijack some of my domains.
They can demand COMPANY INCORPORATION documents, ID, proof of address and more simply if they receive a complaint about your domain. This means that ANYONE can effectively terminate your domain by sending a complaint to Resell.biz, which owns Domains4Bitcoins.
This is one of the most INSECURE domain registrars on the planet. They don't verify complaints, and they will suspend your domain at the drop of a hat.
Here is the email they sent me demanding company incorporation documents (!!) and proof of ID and address:
