#52Did anyone download it and look? This is huge if it's true isn't it? I don't want to download it because I don't know what the laws are, but I'm really interested to know if it's true. Rob Monster is a really big domain investor, right? This is really big news if it's true. Edit: I looked it up. Rob started Epik [1]. I wonder if that's really his password. Lol. Edit 2: I wasn't aware of Epik's reputation either. I ju…
I downloaded the torrent file and casually browsed the index but didn't want to waste my time, bandwidth, and storage for a 150+ GB dump.

I intend to for future domain registration. - Register.com is an annoying cesspool of value-add upsells and is extremely expensive in the process, with added cost to not have your personal info attached directly to your domain whois. - GoDaddy, other than the creepy ads, has shown plenty of willingness to remove domains hosting content that they don't like, even if it's legal. - I think Google is a registrar, but I'm…
Google is safe, simple, and they never bother you. I'm cheap, but will pay $13 just for piece of mind.
Google Domains incorrectly banned me. I filed an appeal showing how I was indeed authorized to perform the actions I had performed, that I was not in violation of their Terms of Use, and included the contact information of the various parties that Google could contact in order to confirm my claims. None of these individuals were contacted and my appeal was rejected with their standard "unfortunately kindly go fuck yourself" message.
When they banned me, I simply lost access to the entire domains.google.com page. As such, I was unable to transfer any of my domains out. The only thing I could do was let them lapse, wait for them to become available to the general public again, and re-buy them on a different registrar.
Their UI works great, most of the time, but I would not recommend Google Domains to anybody, ever, under any circumstances.

#54> OFFICIAL ANONYMOUS (not to be confused with 'Anonymous Official' grifters) They should sign an ethereum address to reduce ambiguity (Any crypto asset address is fine, even PGP is good enough for this but PGP had 25 years to make that user friendly and common but failed, and cryptocurrencies made signing software more prevalent and uniform wayyyyy faster)
Signing in this context would be debatable, in that it may call into question of how much one would (personally) be willing to risk ownership claims of a crypto asset or content.
Remember when satellite.earth "pioneered" this idea for their platform? (not ragging on them but some of the content posted on there were insightful and unique)

You cannot trust google for anything like domains you rely on, unless you have a contact there to talk to a human.

Please write this up with more detail, it deserves a HN front page story. That is horrifying.

Anonymous is a collective with different motives. even if it wasn’t, anonymous was never much more than opportunistic hacks painted to look political.

#59This has been updated to include a spiel about Kent Dahlgren.
I'm not aware of the story there — is there some sort of feud between the two parties?

How many just regular folks would actually pick Epik? Why?

> Epik has, at least as far as I can tell, a reputation for simply hosting domain registrations, not asking questions, and ignoring just about every request for information.
