I forwarded an email and got a response, but https://spa.mnesty.com/ doesn't load for me

There appears to be some problem with DNS after I moved to Cloudflare. Keep refreshing, it will work, but sometimes people get NXDOMAIN/SERVFAIL when resolving.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

1) Yeah, there's support for multiple domains, but I have no domains right now :) If anyone wants to donate one, please open an issue! 2) Exactly, they're so desperate for leads that they will spend lots of time chasing someone who doesn't appear to make lots of sense.

Besides multiple domains you could also make different companies for each domain and randomize which one shows.

Yes, each domain will have a different company name. They'll all probably have maritime shipping homepages, though.

That is reasonable, but do you think you can go into more detail about your main product? What is it about, exactly?

Don't you think spammers will react like antibiotics? Getting better at it while we're building better bots?

All we need to do is make bots that are more convincing than their victims. Can't be too hard, since they prey on the least savvy people.

It has something to do with (the move to) Cloudflare. Refresh once or twice, it will load.
