I've sat on this for some time after starting this. I have forked this from bitcoin core and am working on a secure tax "mode" for bitcoin. It is written in Autoit. I know I know, scripting language alert! I would like people to look at: http://www.githubb.com/bitcoin/bitcoin Look at it, and let's have an open dialog about it. I want to know the good, the bad, and the ugly!

Jeff Garzik in reply to Kevin permalink original

At first, this is a poor choice of URL.

But it really looks like a phishing attempt that no one should visit.

As far as choice of U R L, it may be a poor choice but I did this because I wanted it connected with the core. As far as fishing it certainly is not that! This is a serious project.

Laszlo Hanyecz in reply to Kevin permalink original

Maybe this site serves up exploits selectively? I'm guessing most people are getting the 'domain for sale' but whoever is the target probably gets something special?

I tell you that this is a serious project for bitcoin. You are free to assume the worst. After all, I did say the good the bad and the ugly would come out of this. I happen to be a big believer in bitcoin and I feel this project holds water. If you disagree, that's fine.

www.githubb.com resolves to addresses announced by AS53665

Some basic info about AS53665 can be seen at http://bgp.he.net/AS53665 They probably have a dedi or VPS at Cogent. They didn't even create an IRR record for their AS or their only route.

Let's see what google has to say about malware from AS53665 (TL;DR - it's a malware site) http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=AS:53665

Kevin, the thing is you gave us a bad link... what is the correct URL of your project?

I understand now why someone thought I was fishing. That link should work just fine...I'm not sure what the problem is as I know I forked correctly. I guess I'll need to register a domain for it an get a page going and link from there. I just haven't gotten around to it but will do that. I'll get going! Just know that I would never set up fishing; that's not my style.

Laszlo Hanyecz in reply to Kevin permalink original

Maybe he has a fork on the real github.com and the link was a mistake.

http://news.nurse.com/article/20121203/NY02/112030026#.Uzw5UVy2uw8

I think it's possible that 'Kevin' is for real and maybe he doesn't realize he linked to a phishing site, if it was an accident. If this is the same person, then he's blind, and maybe that's why he wrote 'U R L' instead of the usual 'URL', by using speech to text or some other assistive tech. It might be that he tried to fork github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin and just provided the wrong link. But regardless, stay away from the one with two Bs in it.

Thanks, Laszlo

Thank you for giving me the benifit of the doubt. I did not realize my mistake. I hope we can now get back to talking about bitcoin

Looks like Kevin was probably trying to point us to his fork for comments:
