FYI Calvin/nChain has bought bitcoin.cash and redirects it to bitcoinsv.io

What the title says, after the domain was parked by a squatter demanding a ridiculous ransom for it, Calvin/nChain ponied up the money and bought http://bitcoin.cash/ and redirects it to http://bitcoinsv.io/

I believe this to be some sort of fraud or other. It's essentially squatting a term in common use meant to refer to something else entirely, and it's not unlikely some unsuspecting users will download the SV client believing it to be Bitcoin Cash, then attempt to send their "Bitcoin Cash" somewhere, and lose their funds.

Example:

• not fraud: bitcoin.com supports both bitcoin and bitcoin cash. It makes the distinction very clear throughout and at no point provides misleading information.
• fraud: bitcoin.cash does not support either bitcoin or bitcoin cash, but claims on the site to be a "Bitcoin Cash Node Implementation" (which it isn't). It provides misleading information.
