Grin-tech.org domain expiration

Governance

Old site still ranking high in search results but hopefully not for long.

Good job with blockfolio, f2pool and btc.com so far @domeldk! Domain takeover drama also epicly covered in One Minute Crypto, love your videos @Chronos!

Spreading awareness and promoting link changing is the best thing we can do in this situation.

r/grincoin also points to grin-tech, as well as grin-forum

@0xb100d do you have access to the about page via your mod account?

i noticed a few days ago that https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/grin/ listed under “Message Board” still the old forum-URL; they required some proof that an official announcement was made for the URL-Change. The mention in the newsletter was sufficient, the Link has now been updated to https://forum.grin.mw

@Whataloser, a user on gitter, noticed that Home · mimblewimble/grin Wiki · GitHub also contains a link to the scammy website. If someone knows how to make a search if possible and eliminate all those junk references :stuck_out_tongue:
(“Website” in the Contributing section)

Thanks for reporting, this is now fixed. :+1:

For future reference, the wikis are directly editable by anyone (by clicking Edit button in the upper right hand corner). So if you see something that needs improvement, you have the ability to do so immediately.

To my understanding that domain never had any relevance for the project and at some point was just shilling the project to boost the price.
This is a list of the relevant domains for the project, note how they all end on “.mw”:

https://grin.mw/
https://forum.grin.mw/
https://www.grincc.mw/

Incorrect, it was the original domain and control of it lapsed. Afaik, nobody has control of grin.mw except a nym who hasn’t responded for years
