I like BTC much better than XBT, but I don't think either are better than .com

XBT is more similar to XAU and XAG -> attracts more investors Cheesy

What about the namecoin .bit? Who needs ICANN?

Edit: namecoin brings a whole new meaning to cyber-squatting Tongue

We should definitely get namecoin going

It is being worked on by a lot of developers right now, including additional projects (see my sig for my own, but also lots of others).  You can already browse .bit with a Firefox extension, that is even capable of verifying TLS certificates without relying on the CA architecture ... and other things.

iTs a nice idea, but in all likely hood the symbol for Bitcoin will be XBT so in the long run BTC might be a bit antiquated.

Agreed.

And speaking of domain names, I expect to see a lot more xbt*.com being registered soon, to compliment or displace the btc*.com variety.

Well with all the members dues sitting there doing nothing, the bitcoin 'foundation' can pay for an application next time

You don't "petition", you pay ICANN $185,000 to apply ...

But sadly the new gTLD expansion program ship has sailed already, about 1200 new TLDs applied for, .btc not one of them.

It will be several years before another expansion happens, some say this will be the one and only ......
