Anybody know a linux script/software that would 'lock' a domain down to am IP regardless what the registrar does. Maybe have even a out of band way of updating it without the registrars involvement. I guess what I'm looking for would be P2P DNS server although making sure the data is not fake would be difficult without some kind of signing. Wonder if it could use the bitcoin ledger as a kind of key server? Edit: I kn…
/etc/hosts ?

#33On the bright side, this will give some much-needed publicity to Tor Browser. Sci-hub is still available at http://scihub22266oqcxt.onion/
Does using Tor puts you on some kind of list? It would be tragic if someone used Tor to read a scientific article but then got charged with aiding terrorism or looking for child pornography.
The fact that using Tor puts you on some kind of list makes it essential that you do in fact use it for innocuous purposes occasionally.
Seeking privacy should never be a crime.

I see a different Bitcoin address. I recommend people visit the site and not use the address random commenters on the internet post. Not saying the parent comment is up to something, sci-hub may have rotated the address for whatever reason. The one I see starts with 14ghuGKD EDIT: Ah, interestingly, the 1K4t2v address appears on the scihub.cc homepage, but not the donate page that was linked
Accessing the ip posted in the article it shows the bitcoin address posted by the OP. I even switch over to https to make sure the request is not modified.
>switching to https
They don't even have a valid certificate for that domain.
BUT interestingly, on a US (DO NYC) server or my house (US/Comcast):
$ curl http://sci-hub.cc/donate
Please donate to Bitcoin: 14ghuGKDAPdEcUQN4zuzGwBUrhQgACwAyA

$ curl http://sci-hub.cc/donate
{cut for brevity, a fair amount of HTML here}
Please send donations to bitcoin wallet: 1K4t2vSBSS2xFjZ6PofYnbgZewjeqbG1TM

Sibling posts are accurate about hard coding /etc/hosts, although Sci Hub needs to move to IPFS [1].

Re: Elsevier Complaint Shuts Down Sci-Hub Domain Name
#37While I support open science and Sci-Hub is great, I also can see publisher's side. Imagine the same site with pirated high quality scientific books. (There are some, but in darker corners of the Internet). Would open access to these books be advantageous for humanity? Most definitely. Will publishers get mad about it? Even more definitely. Should publisher's work be free? I think not. However, you can't get both sid…
The book example is not very helpful for a few reasons.
Firstly, the authors of books do get paid—writing books is not a pure tax imposed by academia.
Secondly, books are not typically at the frontier of scientific knowledge (these days). They're interesting and helpful, but accessing them is not a necessity for keeping up to date. Put simply, books do not have a monopoly on knowledge.
Finally, and most importantly, books are not funded by the public. Research is. If the public is paying for something, they should have access to it.

You're welcome! Thanks for reposting to keep the info active. One thing to add to that:
https://www.facebook.com/sci.hub.org
Their original domain was sci-hub.org, which got shut down a while back. Occasionally they post updated information to the facebook page.
Also, @fuxy. You can change your /etc/hosts file on a linux or BSD box to include the line:
31.184.194.81 sci-hub.io
That will override the DNS and go straight to the site.
Windows has a similar file located here (at least for win7):
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
A perfectly reasonable location for a hosts file.

#39Why exactly was a New York court able to issue an injunction for a ".io" domain? It is a British Territory extension being managed by "Internet Computer Bureau Ltd" based in the United Kingdom.

>>Should publisher's work be free? I think not. What exact work these publishers are doing? How much are they demanding for that? Who is funding the research? Who is doing the work? These publishers are just mean middlemen who are trying to extract as much money as they can/want from both the authors and the readers. Now is the time to get rid of them.
What exact work these publishers are doing? Typesetting, third party review, offering visibility in a high quality journal? The point is nothing is stopping scientists from publishing in other, open source journals. But they don't. That means these journals offer something of value to them.
> That means these journals offer something of value to them.
Prestige, obviously.
The other services are marginally valuable. Honestly, I wish a big foundation would agree to simply underwrite any such costs (to remove these as an objection).
The whole value of publishers is in their accumulated brand value. A brand value which they did not build themselves but instead gathered from decades of harvesting public resources.
