Title: We should petition for a .BTC TLD! Post by: Tazmo on November 10, 2013, 12:00:23 AM https://bitcointalk.btc / bitcointalk.btc
https://bitstamp.btc / bitstamp.btc https://coinbase.btc / coinbase.btc Wouldn't that be cool? Title: Re: We should petition for a .BTC TLD! Post by: MakeBelieve on November 10, 2013, 12:01:09 AM It would be very cool indeed.
Title: Re: We should petition for a .BTC TLD! Post by: empoweoqwj on November 10, 2013, 04:13:12 AM You don't "petition", you pay ICANN $185,000 to apply ...
But sadly the new gTLD expansion program ship has sailed already, about 1200 new TLDs applied for, .btc not one of them. It will be several years before another expansion happens, some say this will be the one and only ...... Title: Re: We should petition for a .BTC TLD!

Title: Re: We should petition for a .BTC TLD! Post by: phillipsjk on November 10, 2013, 08:17:11 AM What about the namecoin .bit? Who needs ICANN?
Edit: namecoin brings a whole new meaning to cyber-squatting :P Title: Re: We should petition for a .BTC TLD! Post by: crazy_rabbit on November 10, 2013, 08:46:13 AM iTs a nice idea, but in all likely hood the symbol for Bitcoin will be XBT so in the long run BTC might be a bit antiquated.

And speaking of domain names, I expect to see a lot more xbt*.com being registered soon, to compliment or displace the btc*.com variety. Title: Re: We should petition for a .BTC TLD!

Edit: namecoin brings a whole new meaning to cyber-squatting :P We should definitely get namecoin going Title: Re: We should petition for a .BTC TLD!

Edit: namecoin brings a whole new meaning to cyber-squatting :P We should definitely get namecoin going It is being worked on by a lot of developers right now, including additional projects (see my sig for my own, but also lots of others). You can already browse .bit with a Firefox extension, that is even capable of verifying TLS certificates without relying on the CA architecture ... and other things.
