Dogecoin.org taken down

The DNS points to 23.92.49.68 and an image is shown suggesting that the domain was seized. As the WHOIS was only updated a few minutes ago you will need to flush your DNS for this to appear.

I don't believe this is legitimate, as it doesn't follow the HTML style or the image format of the previous seizure notices I've collected. The IP address is pointing to a shared host in Ohio, which does not make sense if this were a real seizure.

dogecoin.com is the official site, as far as I know, and it's still up.

http://www.dogecasino.com/ is still up. Don't get it.

Dogecoin.com is the official site, registered in Australia (the home of founder Jackson Palmer) on 12/4/13. Dogecoin.org was an unofficial community site registered in Panama on 12/5/13.

Either way, I'd expect this to spark news coverage and interest in Dogecoin. There was already a lot of momentum today, this won't hurt.

Founder of Dogecoin here. http://dogecoin.com is the official site.

dogecoin.org was owned by a third party, who sold the domain to the highest bidder today and they threw up that stupid seizure message. Entirely a ploy by another altcoin to try and derail Dogecoin. Funny they're taking it all so seriously haha.

Settle down people, it's a doge on a coin and it's Christmas :)

Perhaps, but Dogecoin is all about fun and generosity. Not sure who'd want to undermine that :)

I just want to let you know I saw your thread on bitcointalk about 5 minutes after you posted it and called it stupid.

I hope you're enjoying your retirement. :P
