insight.dash.org has a AAAA DNS record (ipv6) registered, but is ONLY listening on the A (ipv4) address (or the firewall is just dropping ipv6 traffic entirely).

This causes a timeout for people who are on Comcast, Cox and other networks which use IPv6 by default when available.

Fail:
Error: connect ETIMEDOUT 2600:1f14:14c:4006:8c85:66c2:e136:f339:443

Workaround

Disable IPv6 on your computer... 🤦‍♀️

FYI: Dash Incubator will have access to hosting from through a privately-owned datacenter with a very strong privacy policy in about a month.

I'd like to get in touch with whoever is managing hosting for insight and see if we can work out an arrangement.

The most important bit is that it's privately owned and focused on protecting individual rights, but it's also more modern in terms of technology - encrypted-by-default, no downtime (live migrations), more modern clustering, etc.

And he IPv4 vs IPv6 issue can be worked out.

Oh, and paying in DASH, duh 😊.
(without a surcharge - because it's not on top of AWS or Digital Ocean, etc)
