It's neat... Like personal Bitcoin DNS. Very neat idea.

So when the op got 'price.bitwhatever.com' did he also get 'spend.bitwhatever.com'. That is, does this service respect the hierarchy or is it just string hashing the pseudo-urls.

Also, I'd like to know if OP is an owner or intersted party in these services.

Price is the owner / founder https://price.bitcoinwallet.com

Aha, this explains it a bit. I didn't even realize that they were all subdomains of bitcoinwallet.com. Given the second post, I thought any domain was up for grabs and this guy just happened to be using bitcoinwallet.com (thus my 'bitwhatever.com' example). Pardonez-moi. I think I see what's going on here now.

The people behind bitcoin wallet paid 200k for the domain name. I don't know whether they are spending half as much on securing their site but I bet not. It's just another web wallet. The ONLY web wallet to survive so far is blockchain.info and that is because they are a) honest operators b) private keys are generated and encrypted client side.

Does bitcoin wallet not offer those specs as well?

https://bitcoinwallet.com allows users to represent all of their cryptocurrency addresses with a friendly name. For example my single crypto address is https://price.bitcoinwallet.com. Go reserve your user name before someone else does!

Hi. Are you owner of those services or you're just recommending?
