.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!

Lol domains you mentioned might sell for 50k$ not by domain sellers but unstoppable domains itself

true

Yeh it does seem silly at first glance, but it doesn't take much to do a DNS change or a plugin to access these, if you cared to explore. If you don't care, well that's your prerogative but surely you can appreciate the risks involved in DN investing on new innovations that may very well be the groundwork of future standards.

Dot-crypto is pretty cool with their vision dual usage domains: direct crypto payments using the DN rather than a super-long BTC address, and you can develop it to be used just as any other domain.

Dot-crypto is NOT pretty cool in that I had believed they used user-input searches to "premiumnize" their names.. I saw it happen first-hand, eg. queried a name.. avail for a couple days to reg, and by end of week reserved.

I asked them about this, response was:

Searches are not being used. There were some domains that were not properly categorized. We just updated. What this means is that many domains were available for cheaper than they were supposed to be. If you think any were updated by mistake, please let us know.

but even afterwards, it was happening. Sure it is possible with so many millions of wordings avail, it just took a LONG time for this "categorization" to propagate within the system.

So, just like we scratch our heads sometimes on some traditional domain extension sales.. like "what was the buyer thinking" this isn't too far off of the same, not everyone wears the same lens.

 

[creataweb]

@HotKey I get what you mean, however, if you're using it like a traditional domain for people to visit it's pointless without native integration. But still, $50k+ at this point? .com would have never taken off starting like that. They were free in the early years.

I have a few .crypto domains. I even have a website published on one of them... just playing around. I don't know if they'll ever become mainstream, but I am hopeful.
