It's just too expensive to consider. ICANN are charging a fortune for these names.

ICANN are meant to be a non-profit. I do wonder what they are doing with their mountains of cash.


Also .bit has become squatted to death. If .bit is a 'thing' we should restart the blockchain with considerably higher charges for registering a domain.

Nothing would happen, namecoin work with a different system. The browser will just need an option to choose wich .bit use, if the namecoin one or if the ICANN one. Or try both. Or whatelse you prefer.
