How about create .bitcoin domain ?

Now we can create gtld (generic top lebel domain) with IANA.
It cost first $185,000 and $25,000 per a year.

.bitcoin domain should be delegated by famous registry after create domain.
It is able to cloudfounding (bitcoin and dollar).
Cloudfounding patron can get domain fast.

how do you think ?
Thank you.

Personally I'm not really interested in a .bitcoin TLD. It is too specific and that could lead to its abuse with scammers using it to make Internet users think a site on it was something official.

You have a point. Scammers will take advantage of it create a HYIP or Ponzi or a doubler website and claim to be a official website by bitcoiners and later on it was too late before you know you have been scam. Or can used the generic .com extension and it doesn' t sound attractive to me. We don't need fancy names just to promote bitcoin.

It doesn't really think it is logical to get a .Bitcoin domain. What good can that possibly do? I mean let's face it, .Com is the go to domain tld right now for most merchants as it is the most recognised across the globe. Many attempts have been made to gain market share from .Com but most attempts are rather futile.

It's just a waste of money I think, 200k can be donated to better the bitcoin community instead of wasting it on something that is completely irrelevant. Bitcoin isn't a country nor a business.

some things are worth X amount of dollars to do.  a tld for bitcoin is a neat novelty, but serves no purpose and will likely end up happening in the next five years anyway.  if it was way cheaper, sure, for fun and the attention, at the current pricing schemes, no way in hell

i don't think to create .bitcoin domain is a good idea, because with .com as primary domain its the best we can create beside that .com is the main of tld. maybe if one person have big money, he will do this and then he can sold it to get money, i've seen this in domain seller which people buy a domain, maintain or abandon and then if he see good price, he will sold it.

but for .bitcoin, i think its better create another .com domain rather than use .bitcoin tld. its too difficult to remember, its just from me.

A .altcoin TLD only available to operators of altcoins however I think would be a fantastic idea - or a .crypto gTLD open to anyone for any purpose.

I am a fan of ngTLDs for what it is worth. I am not a fan of "premium" domain names (e.g. some cost over a grand EVERY YEAR) but I am a fan of the ngTLDs.

I also wish more caching nameservers would know how to query namecoin. That is a problem.

.bitcoin domain is not needed and not relevant to the development of bitcoin. It might be good to have for some businesses or information websites, but you can always use the .com .net. org etc etc....

[Vsync]

Extension is way too long...this is not needed.

[codrvar]

do they not have .finance TLD?

Dot bitcoin domain will not serve any purpose for the betterment of bitcoin as a whole.There are numerous other gtld but they haven't made any significant effect.
A dot com domain with a good bitcoin keywords is still a better choice than having a bitcoin gtld

[Vaskiy]

The investment that Op quoted is something big that is quite enough to make a better profit through other service availability and trading platform. I believe bitcoin domain won't be that profitable than other accessibility to different trading platforms.

[pedrog]

Who owns the rights to the name 'bitcoin'?

If it's public no one can register a gTLD, it will be rejected like 'html', 'php' or 'linux'.

[SONG GEET]

The idea of having .bitcoin tld is nice but hard to actually have it, ICANN will never approve it.

[Pettuh4]

do they not have .finance TLD?

Nope, never seen that.

[pedrog]

do they not have .finance TLD?

Yes, and bitcoin.finance already taken.

.finance costs around $60/year, check several registers to get best pricing.

This is great domain, but prone to scammers.
So OP if this will be true and gonna happen may you have good platform to show off and secure it more.

Bitcoin is good as it is now. We dont need to create a bitcoin domain since we already have many sites that supports bitcoin such as exchanges, gambling sites and many more. The other members who said that if we create a domain the scammers will be very happy and that is very true. Scammers will most likely be active again on those sites looking for a weak prey to consume.

The market interested to create a domain name with .bitcoin is currently too small to see somthing about it. And the fact that all the big players will be still only interested with the popular extensions like .com .net ect. Or they could be interested to buy one but only with the goal to protect their brand like all the big brands do.. for exemple .porn, microsoft is of course not in this niche but still owns this domain, to be sure not someone buy microsoft.porn and does something that could damage the rep of microsoft. Even the artists do this after seeing some garbages done using their name

And how this can harm the reputation or hinder in the future? I think that if no bad association is called by the name of the new domain, then there should be no problems. And such harmful as Microsoft already have a big name.
