Sorry if this is the wrong board, or I should have used a sub forum - please feel free to move it if necessary.

I have a number of what I consider very good TLDs regarding BTC/Alt-coins at the moment, and am realistically not going to get around to doing all the things I planned with them - i.e. turn em into serious sites. So I'm considering selling them instead.

I do every now and again see domains being posted for sale here, but do they actually sell? The threads seem to go "dead", presumably because any negotiation has been taken to PMs or email.

Thanks for any info,

Rit.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Partially true..

If you have some good TLDs regarding BTC/Alt-coins, you should have no problem getting good BTC for them.

Post a thread in the Marketplace section and see if you get any offers. If there's no interest, then that should be a good indicator of their resale value.

As you can see in his first lines... The threads talking about domain sales all died....

EDIT: <temper temper>

The way I see this is that the VCurrency market is about to explode. We have new reports every day of people and organisations (large ones) adopting BTC as a realistic currency to trade in. Governments are starting to take the thing seriously, albeit because they want tax out of it.

Good TLDs will be a big part of this because these days when someone wants to buy or sell something, the first medium that enters their head is the internet.

So for now, I'll have a little think about the domains I own, and whether or not to sell them. But if you are under the impression that $50 is a "normal" price for a good domain, then I'm happy to bet against you Wink Specially since I already own the chips, in a manner of speaking.

Thank you all for replies though, and I hope to be able to post some nice names for sale soon.

Rit.

Fair enough, I apologise. Maybe I did get a bit annoyed over nothing.

I'll post the domains if/when I decide to sell.

Thanks,

Rit.

You can sell, offcourse. It depends on, how value that domain is, Like if your domain is 2 word domain or exactly related to bitcoin, people may be interested.

If your "premium" domain is CryptoExploreCoin.org or Bit-Mining-Sell-Cheap.net, it is not worth 50 BTC.

Thanks for the Twitter feed! That's a really good yardstick Smiley

And the domains I have are good - no hyphens all over the place or misspellings. All are .com/.net/.org trios too.

I'm still mulling this over. I'm next off work on Thursday, so I'll have made a decision by then.

Thanks for all the advice and info!

Rit./

Be sure to check out the "Recent Bitcoin Domain Sales" page on the Crypto Names website.

http://www.cryptonames.com/bitcoin-domain-sales/

The page was created to help bitcoin domain name investors assess public sales figures for bitcoin and related domain names that have recently sold.

Hope this helps!  Wink

There are many free and good coin domains. In my opinion it depends more on your view on how popular will crypto currencies become. It's more like an investment, if you believe in cryptos
