The domain's prior operator was the Bitcoin wallet service Blockchain.info, whose control was relinquished shortly after the wallet service was hacked.  It was announced shortly after that OKCoin would be managing the website. The website's development has since been slow, and received some criticism from an impatient bitcoin community. Little has come of the website which is suppose to act as the online portal for the emerging digital currency industry.

This revelation of Ver's ownership was quickly overshadowed by a bitter argument between Ver and OKCoin, when the Chinese exchange made a public announcement. According to Ver, OKCoin owes the investor thousands of dollars in overdue payments for controlling the website.

OKCoin's public announcement appeared to be a three pronged defence against the Bitcoin evangelist, including what appears to be a statement explaining why they stopped paying Ver.
