Donation for the project are here :
https://dot-bit.org/Dot-BIT_Project:Site_support
I've received the first one today : 1.23BTC. Thanks to the anonymous person
They will be used for various things, not all decided yet, but with one aim : reward people invested in this project.


http://register.dot-bit.org is my own website, which provide additional services : no need to exchange NMC/BTC, no configuration and even no namecoind needed, which requires some of my time :p. So, the payments are for me. 10BTC for now, with 5 today !



ps : i've reserved less than 10 domains, i'm not a domain reseller, but a direct domain seller :p

You're welcome.  I wish to encourage the rapid growth and deployment of Namecoin in every way possible.  Because Bitcoin:Paypal::Namecoin:Godaddy.  We need both, or neither has a future.

It's lame that nobody else has donated yet.  Come on people, pony up and help us get Namecoin and dot-bit off the ground ASAP. 

Especially all you early adopter bitcoin billionaires.  Spread the wealth, yo!

Market price and difficulty are jumping, price may increase if this goes on...
Domain price is going crazy too !

When i will register a new .bit domain will i receive a manage panel (such as to manage redirect or somthing) ?

That's a feature I'd love to see!

I'd expect some bells & whistles down the road to justify the 1btc hosting fee.  That's like $18/year, which gets you a lot at namecheap or 1and1.

Of course that's not a fair comparison at the present time, but that's the benchmark for domain registration services.

Another good way to develop the namecoin space is to have a SEDO.com like market for .bit domains.  How high of a bounty would need to be put up to make this happen?

Current administration panel does not allow me to limit to redirect, so it's not available by default. But this is an intersting idea.

I would allow to :
- manage root domain and subdomains
- choose an url redirection for each
- "associate" with an ip address to host data elsewhere (this option is currently not available for you).

If you convert it dollar, yes, currently, this seems very expensive... and due to the recent huge difficulty increase, this is even worse. Bitcoin / Namecoin difficulty ratio is now 37 and market price ratio is 1BTC/30NC...

=> I've increased price to 2BTC per domain (don't convert it to $ or you will cry :p). And don't expect difficulty ratio to go in the other way.... Bitcoins are overpriced !



zavanky> if you want it (admin panel) you can be the first one to have it :p. Send me a mail once you registered your domain name, i will create you a real account.

ps : renewal price will be much lower that registration price. It's just we don't know what block fees will be in 1 year (even if there is huge probability that they'll be very low, like bitcoin fees). I don't want to take any risk.

Price has increased again, due to the exchange rate (I was selling at a loss tonight... some lucky guys).
