NMC amount needed to register a domain is decreasing so...

Price are lowered to 2BTC per domain !!
=> http://register.dot-bit.org / http://register.bit

But, NMC value is increasing again, so, i don't how long it will last :p

khal,

Are you doing any security upgrades to prevent the kind of attacks we've seen on MtGox?

[khal]

It's already secured in that way :
- all passwords are hashed with random salts.
- private data are reduced to the minimum (from an email to nothing)
- web hosting accounts are isolated (unix & mysql rights)



ps : i don't have 400k of BTC to be stolen.

Now, simple question: how can people possibly visit a .bit website?

Easy for you, just use one of the DNS servers that support it.

The problem is getting other people to use them.

Meh for a moment I thought you all chipped in and actually bought .bit TLD.

[khal]

Some new domains with 2 letters :
http://0o.bit
http://oo.bit
http://00.bit

Others :
http://hello.bit
http://message.bit
http://justa.bit
http://delivery.bit
http://food.bit
http://tech.bit

[khal]

Looks like lots of names being registered.
However, can you shows some examples of those that have website content on them?

PS. I believe the easiest way to visit .bit domain is to go to namecoin.us and enter the domain there.

[khal]

A lot of people don't wan't to pay for a second web hosting because they already have one. So they chose the redirect/external hosting function i provide on http://register.dot-bit.org (and can't or don't know how to configure a vhost on their current web hosting). So, almost all reserved .bit domains are configured to redirect to another domain, or they are available for sell.

Example of .bit with "direct content" i know :
http://forum.bitcoin.bit
http://dot-bit.bit
http://hosting.bit / http://register.bit
http://ns.bit
http://dns.bit / http://opennic.bit/

Non related namecoin (i test some domains starting with a, b or c letter and excluded "It works pages" :p) :
http://2fast2bcn.bit
http://apps.bit
http://blacksun.bit
http://china.bit
http://coupons.bit
http://craigslist.bit

PS. I believe the easiest way to visit .bit domain is to go to namecoin.us and enter the domain there.

If the owner hasn't added the virtualhost blacksun.namecoin.us, it will not work. So, you may use the "full proxy" by adding .bit :
- http://blacksun.bit.namecoin.us

There are several solutions to browse .bit domains : http://dot-bit.org/HowToBrowseBitDomains

Site web is back again (it was due to a stupid error... some files moved that shouldn't :p)

For this to really work, we need a "one-click" option to add the DNS to it. On top of that, we need some API in order to bundle this with other software in order to really spread it. What would be nice is if this starts to get used big time, then we have decentralized money and domains. Now that is ownership anyone here can understand 

[khal]

The payment step had a bug : no payment address was displayed.

It has been fixed, you can now register again on http://register.dot-bit.org/ :p
