I'm just saying that it's completely possible with strategic partnerships and aggressive methods in generating traffic.

Here's one simple example. Bitcoin exchanges from around the world (and in friendly jurisdictions) are looking for ancillary revenue streams, why not have them copy Blockchain.info's strategy of integrating Satoshi Dice directly in the account?

SatoshiDice.com takes in over $1,000,000 USD in bets per day! Don't be jealous, build your own dice game. Here are the top 3 reasons why this is possible.

Put aside the debate on whether Satoshi Dice is a bad or good thing for Bitcoin and the blockchain.

Let's take a moment to talk about making money, and lots of it!

Sometimes in life, ideas need to be challenged. Now, it may seem like an uphill battle for someone to build a new service that can beat the established incumbent. However, I've seen it time and time again, that this can ABSOLUTELY be done. Here are some ideas on why you CAN build a successor to Satoshi Dice:

TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC!

Build a complete turnkey affiliate program that allows savvy individuals to generate and refer traffic to their own skinned dice clone. The operator needs to provide different website themes, custom URL, traffic and betting stats, localized in all major languages, and of course provide a full bankroll.

The #1 reason why Satoshi Dice is so successful, is because of their integration with Blockchain.info. Just imagine if your local bank implemented a feature to easily gamble from within your online banking (some would say they already do this with investment accounts lol). THAT BEING SAID, PARTNERSHIPS WITH WALLET DEVELOPERS ARE KEY!

ALTCOINS

Many people, including myself, are very interested in mining or investing in Altcoins (ie. Litecoin, Namecoin, etc). There are not many places to spend these other alternative virtual currencies. I believe there is a big market for gambling those coins.

BAD LUCK

In life, either people fuck up or bad stuff happens that is completely out of their control. Especially in this grey industry. For example:

-Hackers compromising servers
-Targeted government domain seizures
-Miscellaneous legal problems
-Bad press and tarnished reputation

Like they say, patience is a virtue and sometimes just being somewhere at the right place, right time is the key to success.

I hope you enjoyed this post ... good luck!

Food for thought,

If Atlantis were to grab a significant marketshare from SR, I believe that would spark other clones to come into existence. Buyers would then need to go on the market to buy LTC for their orders which in turn would increase the price of Litecoin. Since Litecoin can be efficiently mined with consumer-grade hardware, zombie machines become profitable again. ASIC miners would no longer be threat to their survival.

Sounds like the beginning of a new booming business!

Dear BitcoinTalk readers,

Last year I decided to start aggressively acquire Bitcoin related domain names. All of them are listed on the following website:

http://bitcoindomainsforsale.blogspot.com

Presently, I now own over 300 domain names. Several of them I consider to be quite premium (ie. generating a lot of type-in traffic). And the interest in them by potential buyers has been tremendous.

Here's my dilemma (and where I believe to be a potentially HUGE business opportunity). Right now there are a few ways to monetize a domain:

Affiliate Websites – Think of a good domain name, register it, and then build a website filled with various advertisements for other sites that bear a similarity to your domain name, making money off anyone who clicks on the ads and purchases the advertised products.

PPC Websites (Pay-Per-Click) – These are very much like affiliate sites, except the revenue generated comes from PPC advertising systems like Google AdSense and Yahoo Publisher Network.

Domain Parking – There are several services, like sedo.com, where you can “park” your domain. The domain will have a variety of keyword targeted ads, similar to the ppc and affiliate sites mentioned above. You make money off the ads that your parking company puts up. Additionally, you can also list your site for sale at the same time.

Domain Purchase and Resale – Register a domain or buy an existing domain with hopes of reselling it to other domainers.

Domain Leasing – Rent the domain name out to advertisers or other interested parties.

Domain Development – Register a domain name and develop a website for it, with unique content and some sort of business model.

All these monetization strategies are interesting. However, I would love to see someone create a hybrid system that combines BOTH domain leasing and domain development. Domain holders like myself would post domains and potential business ideas. Savvy entrepreneurs/programmers would then browse through the list and decide to make a partnership pitch with the domain holder. There could be several ways to compensate the domain owner, however I think a royalty arrangement (ie. small % of sales) would make the service very appealing. Especially if the business idea only accepted Bitcoin and used an approved bitcoin gateway so that sales were easily verifiable.

Now I'm sure there are a million details to iron out, but I think there is enough here to at least start thinking how this can go from an innovative concept to an extremely profitable business.

If/when someone decided to build this service, I would pledge all my domains right away. Let's start making money together!

I would love to hear your comments and ideas (good or bad).

Thanks!

I bought some Vine-related domains and simply copy-pasted the whole domain inventory from my blog. Disregard them (well except for coinvine.com, vinecoin.com, bitcoinvine.com, btcvine.com, and vinebtc.com).

Sure, escrow sounds good!

Message me the interested domain & offer.
