Title: [WTS] BITCOIN.GURU domain
Post by: SgtSpike on February 08, 2014, 02:50:23 AM
bitcoin.guru (http://bitcoin.guru).  This is a brand new domain, one of the few new extensions without any rules (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains) assigned to it, and is bound to be a premium domain..!

Willing to accept offers in USD or BTC (would prefer BTC) for at least 3 BTC.  Please send offers via forum PM or to webmaster@bitcoin.guru.

.5 BTC offer for the hell of it  ;D

These names are still a huge gamble. Even more than BTC we would speculate...

You managed to secure probably the best Bitcoin.GTLD released in this batch. But there will be 900+ more .GTLDS released in the near future.
It's way to early to tell their true value. More inclined just to pay the premium years from now (if there is one), when the hype dies down and their real value stabilizes.

Best of luck with the sale

Bit lower than I am looking for, but thanks for the offer nonetheless!

Indeed it is quite early to tell the value.  We'll see how it goes...!  I did spent a decent amount of money acquiring this in the first place, so hopefully that wasn't a waste.  ;)

Wouldn't the bitcoin foundation be able to claim this domain as theirs?

Bitcoin isn't trademark-able in the US, so no.

It's not an enforceable trademark because there is no way to talk about bitcoin without using the word bitcoin.  It's a generic term to describe what it is, thus it is not trademarkable.  Tibanne holds a trademark in Japan, but even that one is questionable as far as whether it would hold up in court.  Here's a lawyer to back up what I am saying though:  http://www.coindesk.com/mt-gox-sell-bitcoin-trademark-buyer-enforce/

Had an offer via email, but he stopped responding.  Not sure about that one.  Anyway, domain is still up for sale.  Still willing to accept 3 BTC!

That's pretty good offer.

This new extension are like .info .me not very good with search engines.

Not really. Google has said it on multiple occasions that domain extension does not matter as per their algo... though a few free domains like .tk are blacklisted as they generally associate with scam. There is no problem at all with .me or .info. One of the biggest example to support this claim is if u search Google with the keyword 'about', U'll get about.me among top 5 natural listing.

Had an offer via email, but he stopped responding.  Not sure about that one.  Anyway, domain is still up for sale.  Still willing to accept 3 BTC!

I'd prefer to wait till January 31, 2015 ;D
