Chapter 4 : Thinking About .btc Domain Name

In my opinion, for the BTC community and its followers, there is a need for something extremely geeky and decentralized that aligns with the essence of BTC. Perhaps this is also why there are various domain projects in the market that are fragmented and lack a unified standard. Take ENS for example, it has investment from the Ethereum Foundation and the support of Vitalik Buterin, which unified the standard, but it is still not the best solution. Therefore, for #BTC domain names, the following conditions are particularly important, even necessary: "decentralized, no project team, community-driven consensus, native to the BTC mainnet, permanently stored on the blockchain, and an irreplaceable standard." With these criteria in mind, the only domain name is codeless, original, and straightforward domain name: 007.btc. It is unique. On the other hand, domain names like .sats would give rise to countless domain categories, as shown in the image below:

1) .sats names

{
    "p":"sns",
    "op":"reg",
    "name":"007.sats"
}

2) .btc with the .sats format

{
    "p":"sns",
    "op":"reg",
    "name":"007.btc"
}

3) change some filed of the .sats names

{
    "p":"sns",
    "op":"register",
    "name":"007.btc"
}

4) other suffix with the .sats format

{
    "p":"sns",
    "op":"reg",
    "name":"007.okx"
}

or

{
    "p":"sns",
    "op":"register",
    "name":"007.unisat"
}

5) other plain text domains

007.okx
007.bn
007.unisat
007.bit
007.bitcoin
......

From a technical perspective, in terms of resolving and binding wallet addresses, adding code increases the complexity of resolution. The main purpose of that code is completely useless. In other words, what can be achieved with .sats can also be accomplished with the codeless and straightforward .btc domain. Domain names do not require complex mathematical calculations like in the case of the brc20 project. Domain names should be fast, simple, and error-free in resolving. Look at the image below, how beautiful and pure the .btc domain is.
