Most obvious answer: Foundation. However there's\n\u003e currently a fairly clear line between the foundation website and the\n\u003e bitcoin.org website. I personally am fine with the bitcoin foundation\n\u003e funding the website, it's a lot closer to the bitcoin community than\n\u003e github. But some people might care. So next step would be to contact the\n\u003e Foundation board and see if they're willing to fund it.\n\u003e\n\u003e 2) Anti-DoS? I assume github handles this at the moment, though I doubt\n\u003e there's anything to be gained from DoSing the informational website\n\u003e\n\u003e 3) Where does the server go? Ideally, a hosting provider that accepts\n\u003e Bitcoin of course!\n\u003e\n\u003e 4) Who admins it?\n\u003e\n\u003e 5) Who controls DNS for it?\n\u003e\n\u003e Right now I think Sirius still owns DNS for bitcoin.org which is\n\u003e nonsense. He needs to pass it on to someone who is actually still involved\n\u003e with the project. Again, the most obvious neutral candidate would be the\n\u003e Foundation.\n\u003e\n\u003e So I think it's a good idea but there's a fair amount of work here. The\n\u003e primary upside I see is that it opens the potential for adding\n\u003e interactive/server-side code in future if we decide that would be useful.\n\u003e\n\u003e\n\u003e\n\u003e On Sun, Dec 8, 2013 at 8:25 PM, Gregory Maxwell \u003cgmaxwell at gmail.com\u003ewrote:\n\u003e\n\u003e\u003e On Sun, Dec 8, 2013 at 11:16 AM, Drak \u003cdrak at zikula.org\u003e wrote:\n\u003e\u003e \u003e BGP redirection is a reality and can be exploited without much\n\u003e\u003e\n\u003e\u003e You're managing to argue against SSL.
