Hosts: Legit crypto domains blocked

[loris007]

many legit crypto sites get blocked by the standard list...

• binance.com
• bitfinex.com
• coinmarketcap.com
• even bitcoin.org :-)

can you please remove the legit sites from the list?
or move all crypto sites to a sub-list?

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

[mihaifm]

+1 for this. Any reason for blocking them?

The right place to ask,complaint etc. is here: https://gitlab.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/issues

[StevenBlack]

This has been partly addressed in https://gitlab.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/issues/48 and partly fixed in Release 2.5.8, a few minutes ago.

[StevenBlack]

OK everyone, with Release 2.5.9 the CoinBlockerList is removed until their Issue 48 is resolved, which should be soon.

Closing.

[StevenBlack]

Meanwhile, I would LOVE to know the Gitlab URL scheme to fetch the version of a file at a particular commit hash.

Because I tried to redefine the CoinBlockerList update.json url element, but I couldn't get it to work with the previous version of a file on GitLab.

That's why CoinBlockerList is temporarily dropped entirely, which is a suboptimal resolution.

You find the commit sha in the upper right corner or by using blame or history... the easy way, there of curse always the git log

[StevenBlack]

@spirillen I tried that; that URL, and all attempts using gitlab.com, did not work.

The URL we were using for CoinBlockerList was to domain zerodot1.gitlab.io.

Specifically,

https://zerodot1.gitlab.io/CoinBlockerLists/hosts_browser

That returns latest from master branch, which isn't what we want.

[spirillen]

Hey @StevenBlack that was for the master, yes but it was for helping with the layout of the url as I understood your request was.

Update: You can't use the gitlab.io subdomain to obtain a previously published list as the ./public/ used for the *.gitlab.io is only latest html, so you need to use the https://gitlab.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/raw/sha/hosts_browser

[StevenBlack]

@spirillen yes, we need to get the file from their commit 2f489d because our updateHostsFile.py presently fails when fetching from gitlab.com. We know fetching from zerodot1.gitlab.io works, but how to get a prior version from there?

[spirillen]

2f489d seems to be the latest...... = master

as i can understand the commit you search from #48 is a release without the coinmarketcap.com

Let me do some digging and let me see if I can find the solution for you :)

Should it be a temporary or permanent solution?

[StevenBlack]

Temporary until their Issue number 48 is sorted.

[spirillen]

This should do it

@spirillen please. Whatever you conjure, run it through UpdateHostsFile.py and see if it works.

Then and only then make this thread longer.

I didn't need this to be a long conversation. I just want a solution. Right now we're OK without CoinBlockerList. I'm happy to leave it at that.

[funilrys]

Hi Steve @StevenBlack! I don't use GitLab anymore but this is the URL scheme I used in the past for one of my private projects.

(Hopefully this still works 😅)

https://gitlab.com/{owner_login}/{project_login_or_name}/raw/{branch_name}/{filename_or_path}

Cheers!
