behind a WhoisGuard anonymous registration. Why are we not allowed to<br>
know who this domain belongs to? Why are we being asked to trust some<br>
unidentified party?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>It's done that way because it was originally registered by Satoshi. It's now controlled by Sirius, who doesn't really take part in the project anymore.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I bring this up because of the recent bitcointalk fiasco. AFAIK the domains are registered and controlled in the same way. It's likely that the current registrar isn't very secure.</div></div></div>
