One of the scrypts running in the background at the above URL

Do you mean this script? Read the code. The sole purpose is to pass on the affiliate referal parameter into the /crowdsale/ link.
The function is called at the bottom of the HTML page where the JS is included: http://www.newbium.com/ --> view frame source.

I understand doubts, I am careful myself. Knowledge is the way out. Please PM me geeky questions - I am happy to explain more of our tech. And later we can post a summary publicly.

Oops. IP addresses in Canada?

(if it's not a proxy)and not a website URL.

In this development phase, the system is distributed onto several servers, for historical reasons, and for easier administration. And the domain on yet another one. The crowdsale is not even finished, we are in the preview phase.

The final system will probably reside on one server, nginx reverse proxying all the subsystems. On the same server.

But only in the beginning. When traffic becomes too heavy, then it will have to live on several servers anyways. Even small companies can hardly keep all web systems on one machine.

Ummm.... I'll pass.

I'd think that'd be a pity. Someone with your knowledge can be a helpful addition to our new community here.
