How do we know, except the tweet announcement, that BitcoinWallet.com was sold for $250,000? I can't find it on the web...
Same for bitcoinwallets.com, I can't find the auction... If both are private sales, the price announced can be different from the real transaction price?...I am not an expert, can someone answer my questions?
Thanks!

prob some scam website to make people think you sign up for a wallet and once you send the funds they get hijacked

What's with the negativity??

You must have the same type of pessimism regarding the ENTIRE BITCOIN ECOSYSTEM since much larger amounts of capital are flowing into all avenues of it.

Put on your thinking-hat and see that something epic is likely to built on top of this domain. Thats something to look forward to Wink

Over 800 premium Bitcoin names. For serious buyers only.

This is pretty ridiculous.

A parameter when submitting offers: there is nothing for sale under $4,000. Some names have a much higher price.

^ This is even more ridiculous for domains generated via bots.

I would pay probably 250 000 for a wallet with 1000BTC in it.
But for a wallet that exists only as a name

)) , no.

Plus , those kind of names don't usually mean success.
Google has no search in it , Amazon no shop , MTgox no btc and no trade.

New extensions don't mean anything, they're ICANN's newest money making scheme. There always have been plenty of options besides the .com, and yet the market decided to pay a premium for it. It's going to stay just that way for the foreseeable future.

I agree, at least while the internet generation is still alive. only a matter of time until QR codes and NFC devices destroy typing a domain all together... be smart.

the average joe doesn't really stand a chance getting a good domain because the people into them for a living own massive numbers of them as evidenced by the above post. Personally I wouldn't spend a dime on any of those domains because a good business will do well through word of mouth, just like a site like coinbase.com has done which really you wouldn't figure would be a bitcoin exchange looking at it. I suppose having bitcoin in the name might help them and if they were smart they'd take their profits and buy up a better name. I'd say maybe after you have some cash flow use it to buy a better domain if it's needed.. but a crappy service on a good domain is still a crappy service.

In any case I look forward to the day a domain name can be any extension and shortages of good names become somewhat a thing of the past. That day is getting closer and closer. Of course if there are a million possible extensions of a site you'll find a person buying a million of them up...

Just like the 200 copy and paste versions of Bitcoin drove BTC price down?

Wow I can't believe I didn't think of that. Buying domain names that could become popular and then resell for huge profit. I guess it's pretty much too late for Bitcoin domains at this point though?

It's pretty much mostly over for most types of domains, unfortunately.

Wow! I find it hard to imagine that will pay off. Why not just invest the $250,000 in bitcoin instead?

I'm hoping Namecoin takes off and .bit becomes the de facto extension for crypto related ventures. I listed a few domains very recently on dotbit.me such as donations.bit, payment.bit, remittance.bit, etc for between 0.05 and 0.1 BTC.

Lol you got ripped off. Register them yourself with the Namecoin wallet/client and pay .02NMC per name 1NMC = $5 do the math

I did register them myself about 2-3 months ago when I first discovered bitcoin and started researching other cryptos. Yeah, it costs about $0.07 / domain. I recently sold a few for between 0.05 and 0.1 BTC on dotbit.me and on the Namecoin forums.

Because most finance entrepreneurs don't give a flying fuck about Bitcion. They're just trying to make money off the latest fad. Therefor their stupidity kicks in, and they treat this like any other startup. Even if that means blowing $250k on a domain name. Their trust is in the "Business Plan" and their own ability to grow a business. Bitcoin is just a tool for most of them. No awareness of investing in Bitcoin instead, and sitting on 200 million in 10 years. To them the thought of that happening is absurd.

Why you mad bro?

Let's get some facts straight. This domain wasn't purchased for giggles. The dreaded "finance entrepreneur" likely purchased this to build a killer wallet for us all. How could anyone argue that this is bad? Sure, the person dishing out the $$$ probably doesn't understand Bitcoin fundamentals like some of us do, nor will they be spending sleepless nights in front of a screen coding the app, but thats not their job.

How exactly do you expect Bitcoin to reach these monumental heights you speak of, if no one builds it?

It sounds like you already think long-term, big picture, about the price of bitcoin. Try applying that same logic to the infrastructure Wink
