Topic: Replace your ether address with a domain name. (Read 178 times)
I reread that article, and I seem to have missed a few points in the first reading. It seems that a registry is proposing to introduce a new TLD - .luxe , and this is supposed to combine payment functions with traditional domain activities. I think this is a bit of a marketing gimmick, and I wouldn't support it. First off, it introduces another (possibly untrusted ) party into the payment process, and I had trouble in finding an improvement over displaying a QR code or hyper-link in a conventional web page.
Do we have .btc or .bitcoin?
If not, hostingsolutions or whatever they're called should give us one.

We don't have any Bitcoin domains. Take a look at OpenCap. It's currently under development. It will allow every user to use a custom allias ({username}${domain name}) for each of their addresses.

Actually, it has been available for over a year and it didn't help much with the price. The bidding mechanism seems to be fair. If you win the auction, the ETH you bid is used as a deposit. It will be refunded once you release your domain. It looks like someone has bought bitcointalk.eth.
The Ethereum Name Service will allow users to replace their wallet address with a domain name. They are going to use the .eth extension. I'm a bit surprised that nobody has mentioned this, as it could help the price to recover.
