A public record · Ref 1616017
NameSilo locked us out of our own domain.
stealthledger.net was registered and paid for through NameSilo, LLC. After a login from a different IP address, NameSilo locked the account and the domain. We proved ownership. They refused to restore access. The project has moved to a new domain on Porkbun.
Your data is safe
All encrypted information has been retained. Nothing was lost. Your passphrase and your encrypted vault exist exactly as before. Only the address has changed. StealthLedger is end to end encrypted, so no data ever lived on this domain or on any server we do not control. The vault has simply moved to a new domain registered with Porkbun.
Existing users have been notified of the new address directly. This page is left here as a record and a warning. The vault can no longer be opened from this address.
What happened
- We registered stealthledger.net through NameSilo and paid in full.
- A login from a different IP triggered a lock on the account.
- We supplied proof of ownership: the funding wallet address, the on-chain transaction ID, and continuous, public control of the live site for over twenty four hours.
- NameSilo demanded a copy of a government-issued identity document.
- We declined to hand government ID to a domain registrar.
- NameSilo replied that they would not proceed without the documents. Access was never restored.
Where we are now
StealthLedger has moved to a new domain registered with Porkbun. We no longer use or recommend NameSilo. If you hold domains with them, consider the account-lock pattern described above and transfer to a registrar that does not hold your domains hostage for government ID after a routine login.
For the record
- Registrar: NameSilo, LLC (IANA Registrar ID 1479)
- Support ticket / reference: 1616017
- Domain: stealthledger.net
- Outcome: access withheld, account not restored
StealthLedger is an encrypted, privacy-first crypto portfolio tracker. The project continues. This domain does not.
