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.

Blockchain is most definitely compounded into one singled meaning by definition officially one word in modern linguistical description.

If you like precision so much, you should really try to make arguments that make sense.

English has no official regulatory body, but the Oxford Dictionary is certainly the most trusted/accepted authority worldwide.

This is just one reason why the argument over "blockchain" being one or two words is so silly... English is highly adaptable. It's spoken many different ways in many different countries. The degree of "right" or "wrong" of the particular spelling or usage of any one word (or two words) is determined by the general acceptance of all English speakers.

Accept it as the Authority or shall we keep making up words to suit ourselves. Before the internet The Oxford Dictionary was the reference nothing has changed. If the official dictionary classes it as one word then it is. There really shouldn't be a debate as no other source comes close.

Wrong...

Opinion doesn't come into it. He is right as of now it is defined as single word.

Yes namepros is two words as it hasn't been defined as one word in the Oxford Dictionary and likely never will.
Webmaster was recognised as one word made up of two words like blockchain.
blockchainwebmaster could be advertised legally as 2 word domain.
