.crypto domains launching on 12/11

[Unstoppable Domains]

Hi NamePros,

We’re announcing the launch of the .crypto domain extension on 12/11. 50,000 domains have already been registered. Go to https://unstoppabledomains.com/?ref=namepros to find available domains.

You’ve probably all heard about cryptocurrency, but may not be aware that new domain extensions are being launched on blockchains. These domains are not part of the ICANN system. They are stored by the owner, with their private key, not by a registrar like Godaddy. No one can transfer a domain or update it other than the owner. If you store website content on decentralized storage instead of Amazon Web Services, then no one can take down your website other than you.

A blockchain domain + Decentralized storage = An uncensorable website

This is the beginning of an entirely new internet built to protect free speech around the world.


Blockchain domain features

• No Renewals - Pay once and it’s yours ... forever
  
  
• No Custodian - Domains are stored by the owner. No third party can move or update them
  
  
• Payments - The domain can be used as a payment address for cryptocurrencies. Send Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, or any other currency all to the same domain
  
  
• Uncensorable Websites - Attach domains to content on decentralized storage and create an uncensorable website
  
  
• Transfers - Escrow agents aren’t needed. Transfer to anyone in the world in under 1 minute with no risk of being defrauded

We’ll be moderating this thread and we’d love to hear your thoughts!

They've now released a Chrome extension: https://unstoppabledomains.com/extension

Yes, and it is awesome!

One more step for the decentralized web. Things are moving fast in this space. Don't blink.

UD also announced a blockchain browser.

Years ago exact match domains received a significant search engine ranking benefit at Google. I wonder how their browser will work with regard to ranking blockchain vs regular sites.

 

[Rammbo]

Today I registered : Holdem.Crypto (like Texas holdem)
For-Sale.Crypto And a couple more .

 

[Coindoji]

I wonder how this will play out since .crypto tld was sold on Handshake, and since UD did not claim it, it will be a publicly available tld for registration on the blockchain.
I mean, good look suing someone on decentralized web who holds ownership of this tld.

 

[Internet.Domains]

Just saw the news that .crypto domains resolve on Opera for Android. The blockchain domain community, including developers, seem to be really pumped about Web3. Things are moving fast in this space.

Says 5 letter have been released but my name is not available. Just says coming at a later date

sorry didn't read thread... so hope its new news .. but opera browser will or is natively supporting these new blkchain domains,. accidentally read today.

future looks bright especially now that we all move online due to virus and will basically no longer live in outside world with others in future but always and forever in cyberspace. cheers.

Hi, UD:
When I tried to find out my ipfs hash by following the instructions from your forum https://community.unstoppabledomains.com/t/how-to-view-your-ipfs-hash-on-the-blockchain/672
It shows me a empty string in the last step... how can I use your template web design if I can’t figure out my ipfs hash? Or I must have created a html content?

 

[PaulUD]

Hi Jimmysun,

There will only be a hash if you have created a dweb site either with our templates or other templates you might have access to. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with, thanks.

Sorry I don’t understand, when I choose your template I can’t publish it because I don’t have ipfs hash...

The other thing is my domain is in the pending status for more than 72 hours already after I submitted my eth address to broadcast on the chain claiming, so I realized I forgot put more gas fee on it, so I went the other way to guest management, paid the gas fee and it works, but now in the domain page it’s still in pending...so I can’t do anything during the status.

 

[JimmySun]

It’s taking me forever.

Please contact us via the live webchat on our site so we can take further details. We will then ask one of the team to remove the pending status from your domain.

Cannabusiness.crypto

Charizard.crypto (for fun)

Etc

Etc

(Have great names, just not listing to preserve value.)

I got in early, and waiting for more premium names to be released.

Should be great.

 

[Peter Hagen]

Wow, with blockchain becoming more mainstream I wonder when we can get .crypto links working natively in browsers (like tor .onion links in Brave).

Soon

Chrome, Firefox and Explorer are already there. Just have to make adjustments in your settings.

 

[wot]

That is fine. What is to stop endless other alternate root providers from launching their own .crypto then?
Nothing really.

Brad

Looks like a potential black ole

Well, I would not call that "natively".

In the next round of extensions .crypto is likely to be an actual extension, on the actual DNS route, and actually work in a browser without any modifications.

[garptrader]

The argument behind holding a blockchhain domain such as .crypto is that unlike existing extensions, a blockchain domain cannot be taken away by a registrar or UDRP filing and a website cannot be taken down because of political backlash. The owner is in control.

 

[alcy]

so what exactly are all the blockchain extensions now and where to reg them?
.eth
.crypto
.zilch

what else?

seems when I type anything decent to reg at unstoppable domains...only crap is available...the rest is prem..
