Grin-tech.org domain expiration

does not work for me and checking the DNS for grin.mw it seems to be the same from anywhere (both OpenNIC and clearnet DNS).

Yes, looks like it broke yesterday, looking into it.

https://grin.mw should now work and stay working for foreseeable future!

Totally man, MW makes perfect sense. Now there’s three: Beam, Grin, and Bitgrin!!

I wonder if we should use subdomain for this forum like forum.grin.mw?

Probably just good that (if) this domain is managed by someone else. More decentralization and not all the stuff can disappear with one domain.

Thanks much for stepping up and working on this domain update! I actually like the grin.mw domain name better than the lost one.

There’s also several pages here on grin-forum linking to the .org site

If we can change or remove as many links as possible it should make it harder for the .org site to appear in search results and pull off possible scams

Reached out to the linked sites above.

Not sure what the best solution for grin-forum.org is. Can all links be changed at once or should each user search for posts and update?

Grin-tech now shilling auto trading…

HI. Good job.

We have a serious problem !!! GRIN can be seen as a scam

The site &grin&tech&org is everywhere.
mining pool
Android / Mac applications with cryptocurrencies
websites with project review

There have been so many possible outcomes to the grin-tech.org issue and the worst possible became reality; where does the myriads of Scammers in the Crypto-Space come from? It’s like there’s a hole in the ground that imposters are constantly climbing out of.

Please, make the whole community update the GRIN website wherever possible ,
blockfolio.com app FIXED
f2pool AWARE

Ohhh, this is baaaad. :frowning:

Users that check the binary by confirming the hash and that it was signed by grin devs should be ok. Everyone else is trusting the site with the code which is bad

The domain takeover just made the news on One Minute Crypto. https://youtu.be/nkZcmucMUW8

Really wish I had managed to snipe the domain…, have been distracted and feel badly.

Kudos to everyone reaching out and updating incorrect address wherever they come across it. That is the most important thing now.
