from what i get donut is acting like a honeypot registrar and could be a trap so if you run out of domains then just use the onion address full time.

If you ask for my opinion: I am not worried.

A "honeypot registrar"?!?

Donuts is a registry not a registrar.  A registry manages one or more TLDs.  A registrar leases domain names to the public.

Anyways, a registrar really can't be a honeypot.


Ease up on the conspiracy punch.

The point of a "Honey pot" is not to trap you or gather info. Its to waste your time.
They keep the Data safe by keeping the hacker looking the wrong direction.

@ nik


i thought it would be a suggestion becausei dont want to lose tpb to  the mpaa and from what i got from the article the mpaa is working with donuts to shut down sites.

i did not want tpb to get caught in the trap by ordering a domain name from donuts then not losing  it but having the identity of the admins get busted

then how should i reply?

should i not reply to an individule and just post my idea on the board?

ok  is this better by it's self if i just say it without saying attention someone?

Ease up on the conspiracy punch.

a company may set them self up as a registrar so then rules that only apply to registrars then apply and the rules are different from those of an isp and a vpn.

that is why i was suggesting that tpb avoid using donuts for their future domain names and continue using the other registrars instead.

i thought a honeypot was a bogus proxy or vpn that claims to not reveal things and then betrays by revealing to the law or investigators
