Horrible reporting: This article leads people to believe Godaddy moved all of their customers DNS over to Verisign.

All Godaddy did was temporarily move their single godaddy.com DNS to verisign so they could display a 'we are working on it' message to visitors during the attack.

While I think tor and something like torchat is good in theory, its big negative in reality is that the speed makes it unusable most of the time. Not to mention if you are altruistic and plan to run a node, you also run the risk of the FBI knocking on your door for someone who used your (exit) node to upload their kitty porn (the exit is not encrypted).

And if you do run that exit node, you can sniff what people are doing (so there goes the anon part).

Am I getting my 2.99 back? Or is the free version ad supported? In the process of trying to get more users, the free move might alienate their paying customers

to give you any type of valuable (and actionable) response, you need to tell us the url. otherwise, you will get comments like

find another investor? pivot your idea? "keep up with it" try to monetize on your users in other ways
