.coin or .bitcoin domain name extensions

It would be great to have such crypto related extension but i am stunned by cost of it. It is just one more proof that we need more (or better absolutely) decentralized internet and i just hope one day we will get there.

I'm surprised that nobody has tried to setup up any crypto-currency domain name extensions. There must be an opening there as the market expands.

We already have .co.in though

Careful with country code TLDs. They allow a government to seize your domain for any reason they choose, and often there are rules on country code TLDs that are more restrictive than gTLDs.

In India for example was to ban bitcoin, you could see anything on .co.in taken down - even if it wasn't servicing India.

With gTLDs the USA can easily seize it, remember The Pirate Bay and Megaupload?

and also if a country decides to ban bitcoin they would easily ban all the .coin and .bitcoin domains. although banning them is not a big deal but it is going to become a pain in the ass for people in those countries.

You can't easily ban a TLD. You would have to filter all traffic to the root nameservers.

Check out sidera.io 
They will reserve part of the crowdfunding to the filling of the application for these three new Generic Domain Extensions.

.bitcoin
.btc
.blockchain

Well, you need about $500,000 to setup a new domain extension.

And they have to be approved by ICANN and I don't think you can just create one when you want.

Plus you will need to have some department to handle it.

I don't think at the moment a .coin or .bitcoin extension would generate great revenue for the owner...

However, I'd love to have a .bitcoin or .coin extension to register some domains

owh i just know about create new domain, so i can makes my own domain if i have $500.000? like my username .kucritt or anything else? its awesome, i hope i have $500.000 to makes my own domain hahaha
