It is not necessary that .xxx is used to host pornographic websites only

I prefer dot.btc because it's simple. I think bitcoin TLD isn't a good idea because many governments banned bitcoin, so any of TLD about bitcoin will be added to block list Sad.

I'm pretty sure OP's application, if serious, for a bitcoin gTLD would be rejected, if it gets this far, it would, probably, stop here:

3.2.1 Grounds for Objection

Legal Rights Objection – The applied-for gTLD string
infringes the existing legal rights of the objector.

Community Objection – There is substantial opposition to
the gTLD application from a significant portion of the
community to which the gTLD string may be explicitly or
implicitly targeted.

Regarding the Legal Rights Objection : .xxx domain has been introduced in the www even though pornography is illegal in many countries of the world. I don't think bitcoin has been mass opposed by world's governments.There exist certain regulations in some countries and banned in a very few countries.But in most of them the status of bitcoin is yet unknown.

I voted for .btc
Using .btc is very straight forward and 3 letters is better than the whole name itself
I hope this will be available soon and might update my domain to .btc instead of .com

.coin would be best IMO

That could be misleading, and non related to bitcoin. It could be .crypto, but that is also vague.

.BTC is the best

And then we can know how many bitcoin related sites are there.

TLDs aren't made for micro-niches. The market has to be large enough for it to be worth the cost of running the registry including the fees that you have to pay ICANN. So we want a TLD for all crypto currencies not just bitcoin. While bitcoin is the most successful today there remains the possibility that some other alt coin will come that will supersede bitcoin in the future. Besides .coin can be used for digital currencies outside the crypto space too.

Personally I like the idea of a bit.coin, btc.coin, news.coin or something.coin. The possibilities for nice domain names are greater IMO.

If you put it like that, i have to agree. We cannot know what the future of bitcoin might hold, a .coin for now would be perfect.

Later if bitcoin would really become global, then a .btc could come too!

Oh, of course it was karples that had the trademark. Nevermind then, but it would mean that he would have to oppose the creation of the TLD, which I don't think he would do.

There really is no point talking about this pipe dream because unless OP has the money to bring the TLD into existence this is just a pipe dream. How did you acquire the money to make such an investment? Do you have a plan to recover losses? (IE selling domain names).

Why would that stop someone from requestion a bitcoin related TLD? I don't understand why that rules it out.

Who has the legal rights for 'bitcoin'?
I don't think anybody can claim legal rights for bitcoin. See here: https://bitcoin.org/en/about-us

.coin would be best IMO
I don't like .coin because it doesn't specify bitcoin. People that don't know about bitcoin wouldn't question .coin as being something normal.

I'm planning to bring new Top Level Domain for bitcoin into the net.Which TLD would you opt for? Please select a choice.Based upon the vote,I would select the most preferable option.Also kindly write what do you think about the idea?
Wouldn't it be better if we have both?if it has to be one,I would go for dot.btc for it is short and sounds better for TLD for example if we use it for this forum,bitcointalk.btc sounds more nice then bitcointalk.bitcoin
Bitcoin also sounds good moreover it is more specific

a very good idea to boost the popularity of bitcoin. I
prefer dot BTC because of a short domain effect on a site
seo


I think .bitcoin would be better for SEO. Many search engines include the URL text as part of the search criteria which is why you see so many news sites that instead of making up an ID for each article like news.com/dfj34ifkdj.html  it will be  news.com/child-rescues-monkey-from-evil-panther

Also as others have stated, not everyone knows that BTC means bitcoin.  My vote is definitely for .bitcoin

.BTC is the most aesthetically pleasing option by far because it complies with the 3 letter standard. I don't get why a lot of people are using .io specifically, they are so expensive so register even more than .com. I hope .btc doesn't become incredibly expensive for some reason and we see tons of .btc sites in the future.
