I see a different Bitcoin address. I recommend people visit the site and not use the address random commenters on the internet post. Not saying the parent comment is up to something, sci-hub may have rotated the address for whatever reason. The one I see starts with 14ghuGKD EDIT: Ah, interestingly, the 1K4t2v address appears on the scihub.cc homepage, but not the donate page that was linked

Accessing the ip posted in the article it shows the bitcoin address posted by the OP. I even switch over to https to make sure the request is not modified.

 >switching to https They don't even have a valid certificate for that domain. BUT interestingly, on a US (DO NYC) server or my house (US/Comcast): $ curl http://sci-hub.cc/donate Please donate to Bitcoin: 14ghuGKDAPdEcUQN4zuzGwBUrhQgACwAyA% however, on a French (OVH) server: $ curl http://sci-hub.cc/donate <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> {cut for brevity, a fair amount of HTML here} Please send donations to bitcoin wallet: 1K4t2vSBSS2xFjZ6PofYnbgZewjeqbG1TM {more HTML} DNS reports that the domain's IP is 31.184.194.81 from all tested locations. I get the HTML page with the 1K4t address over tor as well

 Tested from US university IP, I also get the 1K4t wallet address. Maybe a caching issue with the CDN (assuming they use one)?

 Which university? I tried from the University of Washington and got the 14gh address

 I am getting the same thing. Midwest US ISP is getting 14ghu and french (free.fr) server is getting 1K4t2v Appears to be some sort of caching issue. Archive.org shows sci-hub.org with 1K4t2v from 2015[0] [0]: https://web.archive.org/web/20150810074804/http://www.sci-hub.org/ https://web.archive.org/web/20150810074804/http://www.sci-hu...

I thought about not posting it as well. When I did, I double-checked myself twice to make sure I didn't post the wrong one.
