debate Is Blockchain.com a 1 word or 2 word domain?

[Michael Ehrhardt]

Recently sold Block-Chain.com and I am amused about people thinking that Block Chain is one word

It never was one word
It is just habit or laziness

BlockChain originally Block Chain are 2 words

A blockchain,[1][2][3] originally block chain,[4][5] is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography.[1][6] Each block typically contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block,[6] a timestamp and transaction data.[7]By design, a blockchain is inherently resistant to modification of the data. It is "an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way".[8] For use as a distributed ledger, a blockchain is typically managed by a peer-to-peer network collectively adhering to a protocol for inter-node communication and validating new blocks. Once recorded, the data in any given block cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks, which requires collusion of the network majority.

Is Blockchain.com a 1 word or 2 word Domain

"blockchain" is a 1 word in the sense as "raindrop" (for example) is also 1 word although such 1 words are actually a "fusion" of 2 words (and at the end a fusion of letters).

"(.)com" is a 1 word - abbreviation (- TLD) of which stands for "(.)commercial" which is also 1 word.

So the exact definition / answer to your question would be:
"blockchain.com" is a "1 word / (.) / 1 word - abbreviation (- TLD) - domain".​

Originally it was clearly 2 words. But the field gradually started mainly writing it as one word, and now I would say it was one word. Languages do change over time. The OED give a definition with it as one word, and that is good enough for me!

No matter whether one word or two, it is a valuable domain name to hold these days!

It's a compound word. One word.
Did we all fail English class or just me?​

Explain BlockChain ( Block .Chain ) to a child

[Michael Ehrhardt]

So the term Block Chain ( Blockchain ) is detected german ?

Google say so

Translated to English Block Chain 2 words

 

[Michael Ehrhardt]

Blockchain was invented from Satoshi Nakamoto
So it is Japanese

 

[Mary Muse]

It's one word, despite evolving from two. It will be one word from here on out..

 

[Mary Muse]

"The words block and chain were used separately in Satoshi Nakamoto's original paper, but were eventually popularized as a single word, blockchain, by 2016. The term blockchain 2.0 refers to new applications of the distributed blockchain database, first emerging in 2014."[21]

Two words

 

[PeakDots]

Two words

Lol
Ok

 

[Michael Ehrhardt]

It was - it is and it will be always 2 words
Just logic

Same as
FaceBook
MicroSoft

Historically, the answer is : both.

It started out as Block Chain but like many other phrases, use and language evolves to create more popular singular words that people recognise and accept. Most people aren't tech savvy so will believe that block chain is simply blockchain, known as evolving compounds.

I don't know of anybody who writes "Face Book", it's "Facebook".

Your bias perhaps lays in the fact that you sold the hyphenated domain name.

One of many examples : child care -> child-care -> childcare.

As written above, it's worth looking up the definition of a compound word.

This is a pointless discussion if you're going to bury your head in the sand and ignore the dictionary definition of a compound word and the genuine (not made up, as in your case) compound word examples given.

As for my child? She's Eleven years old and knows what a compound word is. It's called being educated.

You even don’t know who named America first
You don’t know who was the first King ever
And you wanna tell me about education ?

Facebook and blockcain are one word domains now, hence dictionaries has recognized them as one word.. they were previously 2 words but you can no longer take them as two words anymore. For example "roommate" is a one word, classroom is a one word but when you looks at it critically they were all two words, but they have all been adopted by dictionaries as one word and there are no difference to that of facebook and so is Blockchain also
Besides that there are many two words that have been changed to one word due to their usages and nothing else.

Even if they are compound words: it meant one word if they can not break them individually.
That is my conviction and nothing can change that.

Is Bitcoin one word?
