blocksolvers is the only good one
some are outright embarrassing, like INVESTINBITCOINS

Keep in mind the whole Bitcoin network isn't a commercial thing(.com).
Every entity selling stuff or services to the Bitcoin community are part of the Bitcoin network.
Thus, I think .NET domains are gonna be it not .COM that era is over.

You do realize that none of that matters, right? =)  .Coms are used because they are better for branding than .net in most cases. Usage has little if anything to do with whether a company is a "company" or a "network."

The perception remains that if you have a .net you look less professional than if you have a .com.

Right, well I never look at an domain when I like the stuff or services a website is selling.
I am not like... pfrrt its not .com domain iam out of here.

That, is a huge misconception.
Its about the goods a website is trying to sell not about if your domain name contains: .com

And since bitcoin is a network I think the semantics is to use a .net and not a .com domain since that is not what it was created for.

That's so true. I would go to a .com site over a .net site any day. .Net makes it look unprofessional, like they don't have enough money to choose their own brand...many times, it's the same name as a bigger company, but .net instead.

The same could be said about a company logo... meaningless, right? All that matters is what the company sells and its service?

Marketing and design - including a domain name - represent signals to potential customers. Often these signals are somewhat subconscious, and I promise that you do indeed care about the domain name though you may not realize it. Just as you would subconsciously judge a person who was "unkempt", so too do you judge a company that looks unprofessional. It's a signal, and these signals are important in a competitive marketplace.

cool opinion bro.

edit: you have been a part of this community for a month, you know nothing

I don't think you can compare a design with a domain.
If you have 2 options to give a visit since your looking to buy cars.

Option 1:
buygoodcars.net

Option 2:
buygoodcars.com

Were will you buy?
The answer is: You cannot tell yet, since you didn't view those websites yet.
Like said, if you think buygoodcars.net has a good design and cousin Evan told you buygoodcars.net sells great stuff.
Why then say: Hey but wait a minute... buygoodcars.com has a .com extension. I should buy there.

No, just no.

.NET = Network
.COM = Commercial

edit: bitcoinminer.net is available, start the bitcoin miners network!

Yes alright.
But still, Bitcoin isn't commercial either.

I'll sell you www.bitcoindomainsforsale.com - it could help you sell yours.

these aren't as bad as I was led to believe by the first reply. I like a few of them for sure. good luck.

bitcoinminingaccidents.com is hilarious

thanks brocoin.
remember that Juvenile song, 'Back That Thing Up' ?  I would make that the slogan for backyourbits.com - "they call me big daddy, won't you back that thing up" and then a picture of a wallet or something.

e: just realized that was the censored version of that song. might be too subtle then.

If I hadn't viewed either of them yet, the .com would always be the first site I check out.

If you type buygoodcars into your URL bar, does your browser check the .com first or the .net?

By the way, I think bitcoingild.com is the 'most embarrassing' one, only because I've never seen guild spelt like that before, and actual definitions of 'gild' don't seem to make sense.

you don't buy typo domain names because you don't know how to spell a word, you buy them because lots of other people don't know how to spell a word

 :D

Hehehe, I actually typed out a very similar reply and then decided not to post it :) Funny that someone else picked up on it too.

Thats how you (t)roll

I actually have those domains btw if anyone wants to make an offer.

You need to change your contact link to your actual profile if you're looking to hear their offer.


so many domainers in this thread, why don't we just have a swap meet like they're trading cards.
