Coinbase and other crypto domain blocked #869

Closed mikepatterson closed 5 years ago

mikepatterson commented 5 years ago

It looks like https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/pull/868 began blocking valid crypto-currency exchange domains (e.g. coinbase.com, bittrex.com, etc.) that aren't involved with browser mining.

This issue seems to have been brought up before by another user with: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues/509

Hello! Thank you for opening your first issue in this repo. It’s people like you who make these host files better!

Bump.

This is also affecting me. There are over 50 .coinbase.com valid domains being blocked. This affects my development machine (which accesses .developer.coinbase.) and everything else on my network (I use pihole to block ads). I noticed when my phone could not login to the coinbase app (trying to access api.coinbase.), and then I tried from my laptop browser (www.coinbase. and coinbase. were blocked). There are way too many domains to whitelist. Can the blacklist be updated to NOT include valid crypto-currency exchange domains as OP stated?

Looks like the last release added https://gitlab.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists which blocks everything Crypto related.

I also require the use of a lot of those domains.

Bump. This is affecting me as well. This is blocking a ton of valid cryptocurrency, non-mining related domains.
