Blockchain Powered Websites

By BruceTheGoose | The $DOWN DAO | 4 Jun 2020


 

If you're in the crypto based on your belief in the importance in decentralization instead of just to trade for profit, you should get yourself a website that can't be censored, can't be seized, and exists as a digital asset in your cryptocurrency wallet. (or if you're proficient in flipping domain names and DO want to trade for pofit)

If you've not seen them before, what I'm talking about is an Unstoppable Domain. Not only is it a one-time purchase for a hosted website, it's also a human readable wallet address for a rapidly growing number of cryptocurrencies. For example, if anyone wanted to send me a tip in $ETH, $BTC, $ZIL, $ATOM or any erc-720 based token, they could do so by sending it to

dappgoose.crypto , instead of me needing to provide several different addresses looking like this: 0x3a3355805181ba5752cB52CEBE8C95c0F3ED3d61

So, as a pure utility, .crypto domains make for a very easy way to remember your cryptocurrency address. I'll never memorize the 40 character string of numbers and letters that represent my metamask wallet, but it's likely I'll never forget dappgoose.crypto 

Additionally, a number of services exist that can be used to very easily make your unstoppable domain into a DNS operable link, one of the simplest being dothosting.io , a free service to connect your blockchain website to DNS | eg: dappgoose.crypto.hosting should lead to my website powered by an unstoppable domain (I desperately need to update the page, but ADHD is a bitch, and being a creator for a living doesn't really pay the bills, so I'm always looking for new methods of getting some kind of income.)

For a simpler explanation of .crypto domains, you can watch this video from their official channel.
