Bitcoin Forum

Hi All,

I am selling the bitcoin domain > Bitcoins.co (http://Bitcoins.co)

Offers welcome.

Regards,
Barry

Please provide more info about domain for example where it is registered at,how old domain is etc.

Hi Wapinter,

The domain is currently with Godaddy and was registered on April 09, 2011.

It's currently pointing to a holding page which receives approx 30/40+ type-ins per day. Once a site is up and running with some unique content i would expect traffic levels to pick up nicely.

Would be a great name for a bitcoin startup.

All the best,
Barry

Do you have any proof of you owning this domain or the traffic it receives? Just posting a link to this thread on the site and providing some Google Analytics screenshots should be sufficient I expect.

Do you have any ideas how much you are looking for? Posting an estimate price would likely help the sale, providing it is fair.

I would also like to see analytics data and  if it generates any revenue? By the way I would also like to know how it is getting type-in traffic as it is neither a .com or .net domain which usually get most of type in traffic in one word keyword domain

It doesn't really need that; the domain itself is really great for anything bitcoin-related. Domains aren't bought for the type-in traffic; they're bought for the domain name itself.

Right. It's a domain name. Not a website. Why would it have traffic? I guess they didn't bother reading.

Wapinter, clueless about domains and I don't read too good. Thanks for pointing that out! Looks like the guys above me are in the right after all. I'm not afraid to admit when I'm wrong! :P

Proof that you own the domain
i might be interested

Hi Guys,

Due to constantly being spammed via the whois i put the domain under whois privacy, however, for you guys I've just put up a quick page to show that i own the domain > http://bitcoins.co/uk.html

I've been operating within the domain industry since 1996, and own a number of premium keyword rich domains so you're in safe hands :)

Hope that helps to clarify the ownership of Bitcoins.co

All the best
Barry

0.015btc

Please give us an estimate if what you are looking for

I bid 0.25BTC.

0.26 BTC

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the delay in replying.

I am currently reviewing all offers over $10k - Already I've had a few offers of $5k from senior members of this forum (admin feel free to confirm as some are still sitting in my message console).

I've seen a number of startups using the .co extension, and feel "bitcoins.co" is most definitely a premium. I actually remember last July Mark Karpeles listed the "Bitcoins.com" with my friend Aron who owns HA.com (Heritage Auctions), and the parent company of Mt. Gox "Tibanne" hoping to raise $1 million from the sale of the "Bitcoins.com" domain, however, as most of us know a restraining order was issued due to the ongoing lawsuit against Mt. Gox, meaning the auction got cancelled resulting in no domain sale :(

I'm not saying that bitcoins.co is worth anywhere near that amount! but in my opinion its still a very nice brandable domain which describes the industry its in.

Always happy to work something out if a deal is to be done! Plus if people want to place offers in the thread in a bidding style format, that works for me too!

I've replied to all PM's and happy to answer anymore questions if required...

All the best,
Barry

LOL at offers of 0.25 BTC etc.

I was reading the posts and laughing my cock off

You have one hell of a domain here, good luck with your sale.

Thanks LV - Only time will tell...

Best Regards,
Barry

What's so funny here? This domain is a good domain but if there isn't a price listed, people will offer just anything starting from 0.01 and up.

I have bought several domains for what people consider peanuts (below $50) and sold them for well over a thousand USD per domain. If you don't try you will never know  ;)

I thought this auction should be open to public. Some one has posted their bids here. Some one pmed you with a high price. Probably some one is keen to know their biding price and interested to bid at a higher price, isn't it?

@1referee - You sold them for well over a thousand dollars?

This domain is worth $150k FFS

Stop talking trash. If you don't know what you're talking about, then don't bother to post your crap. No one is ever going to pay anything over a few $K for this domain here.

Haven't you better things to do anyway? Such as giving out loans starting from 0.001BTC ?

You're calling me out for offering loans to help people out?

I think you've lost site of what cryptocurrency should be about.

What makes you know more than me about anything?

You're attitude?

Don't make me ROFLMAOLOLROFLMALOAL

The fact is that you don't know what you are talking about and post a beyond delusional domain valuation of $150K. 

That shows your lack of knowledge about domains, and what makes them valuable, and the current market state we're in, etc.

As I said before, if you don't know what you're talking about, then don't bother to post. This is my last post here as I don't want to derail this thread any further.

As we all know... Domain names are only worth what someone is prepared to pay for them! and if the right buyer comes along then happy days.

The domain world is a funny old place and more often than not its the names you don't expect to sell for high figures, which do... Go figure! haha

It's easy for me to say i believe this domain is worth XYZ, however, whether i achieve that price is another thing. The key to being a good domain investor imo is knowing when to sell, and when to hold on to to them - I've always treated domain sales as a waiting game and never put myself in a position whereby i have to sell them for lower than what i believe they are worth.

When i look at some of the ".co" domain sales over they years (see below). I feel that reviewing offers over $10,000 for "Bitcoins.co" is quite realistic for such a great keyword in a industry which is very hot topic and growing day-by-day - I hope you guys agree?

Thanks.

Just wanted to give you a bump, because your domain rocks! Good luck with selling it, my offer is only $2000.00 :P

Thanks for your kind words and $2,000 offer ADCoin, much appreciated - Hopefully it will reach the $10k benchmark.

Have a great rest of the weekend.

Kind Regards,
