Tor anonymity network benefits from .onion added as special-use domain name - No, the .onion top level domain (TLD) is not about parody news, it’s a way of accessing websites that run on the Tor (the onion router) network. The Tor network is   an Internet fixture that provides anonymity to users by bouncing connections across a wide network to thwart traffic analysis and surveillance. Tor is free, open source, and exists through the effort of volunteers who want to give anonymity and protection to people who need privacy.

Het Dark Web is nu veilig - Gepost op 10-09-2015 om 20:26 door vanderlinindustries - Geen reacties » Wat je er aan zult treffen is misschien heel wat minder veilig, maar de .onion sites beschikken nu over basale veiligheidsfuncties.

Westland.com during $16.2k and other lapsed domain name sales - A look back at the past week in expired domain name sales. Our planet’s dirt must be popular. At NameJet last week, 3 of the top 4 auctions contained words like “earth”, “world”, and “land”. Let’s not read too much into that coincidence, though.

EarthTech.com ($15.3k) could be an upgrade for solar gear; Florida sinkhole repair; Albuquerque landscaping; or Austin physicists researching gravity, cosmology, ... read more ...

But for the most part and for most domains, there’s a complete lack of liquidity. Inefficient markets create opportunity, but they also make it difficult for market participants.

NameJet's Aug in Review – 3 impression delayed down? - Joseph Peterson reviews the past month of domain sales at NameJet. August was a slow month at NameJet – where sales above $2000 are concerned anyway. With that upper price range contributing a total of $399.5k, the auction house fell far short of July’s million plus. But that was to be expected, since July set the venue’s all-time record for total sales; and more than half a million came from a single record-breaking auction. Looking all the way back, August turns out to be right in ... read more ...
