The Pirate Bay founder has launched a new service to register domain names anonymously: https://njal.la/. You can sign up using XMPP+OTR and pay in BTC. The company buys the domain and then gives you the usage rights.

Seems useful mainly for people worried about content takedowns.

Thoughts?

@bcrypt centralized point of compromise
@pnathan DNS registrars already are tho
@bcrypt true enough. but this is effectively a giant target saying "hey if you want to hit ALMOST ALL the privacy aware people with low opsec, hit me!". As opposed to someone who takes the opsec care to build up shell contact info etc, and registers with a normal registrar.
@pnathan @bcrypt to properly build such a shell you need a offshore anonymous LLC and this requires time and money
