So I guess all we can do now is wait and hope that they get everything sorted out.

Having a duplicate site would do a lot of damage to my Google search rankings.

The thing is that he isn't scraping the site ahead of time, he scrapes for content in real time. When a request is made to 4co.in he requests the corresponding page from altexplorer.net, does string replacement on the site name and url, and then outputs it to his users.

Thanks, I hadn't thought of trying to find the person behind it. This is verified by checking a caches version of 4co.in with google: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Gfp7QK3... as the username for the "Hello World!" post is "krnaveen".

Yup, donations should still go to me.

The thing is that the coin information isn't unique and the block, tx, address, etc info is all on the block chain. The unique content is the profitability and historic information, but the charting is broken in what they scrape.

For now I have added a news post with a link to the proper site and am debating between blocking the IP or delivering a static page with a link to the proper URL or a javascript redirect to the proper site.

I am going to lok into this later today through nginx. I am planning on having every request from their scraping IP return a static page linking to the proper site.

I have reported it to the abuse contact of the web host, colocation provider, and cloudflare. I am however not expecting a response in a timely manner from any of them.
Luckily they are stripping out the ad tags before displaying by site so it shouldn't affect Ad Sense.

This is sweet. If it did profiling as well it would be perfect!
