I’m sorry, but the premise of the article’s title is busted: You’re not a “talented releaser” if your torrent cannot survive the death of ONE hosting site. You might be a “talented RIPPER”, but that’s another term.

There is actually a small tracker that seem like a good place to share some music:

[quote comment="199648"]troutmask, are you saying the fact that waffles.fm asks for you to e-mail them proof of oink membership is reason enough to be suspicious of a setup / honeypot?

also, why mediadefender? i’ve been searching around the net for about an hour now reading the chatter regarding waffles and haven’t found anything remotely close to your suspicion.

i guess i’m just curious to know, is that all it is as of right now? suspicion? or do you have some sort of evidence proving this?

i ask this in complete seriousness — i have also wondered about the legitimacy of waffles and definitely would like to know for sure.[/quote]
Only suspicion, no evidence. But the advise given by OiNK sysops was to avoid anything until an announcement was made here (see previous news). I don’t think an announcement would be made in BB, so I am waiting. If you check out mediadefender and the rest of that crowd setting up false site, false torrents is just what they are into. Be cautious and for the present put your torrents on reliable pre existing sites such as STMusic. If you check out the STMusic OiNK discussion in their forum you will find some details of where waffles.fm is being hosted. This
“Ip address for the site comes back as being right outsite St. Catherines Canada, right across the river from Niagra. hmm seems a little fishy to me as well”

It was often you would find torrents without even track numbers in their filenames.

I might have been lucky, but I never had that in 2-3years of actively using OiNK :/
