Bitcoin celebrates its 10th birthday. On October 31, 2008, the Bitcoin whitepaper was released.
On May 22, 2010, the first purchase was made with Bitcoin. A seller was ready to deliver two pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoin. After today's value, the two pizzas cost 56 million Euros.
Behind Bitcoin Ethereum has placed itself as the most important cryptocurrency. The German Wikipedia writes:
"With a market capitalization of about 100 billion euros (as of 19 January 2018), the Ethereum is the second largest cryptocurrency system behind the Bitcoin network."
Ethereum Name Service has tested the concept of replacing 42-character addresses with words as a public identifier. Since May 2017, they have generated approximately 300,000 registrations and deposits totaling $ 28 million in their .eth zone not authorized by ICANN. The owners of these .eth domain names can now preferably register the corresponding Luxe-Domains.
The advantage of .eth is, that owners of this crytocurrency can substitute the 42-character addresses, which are not memorable, by a name like ben.eth and use the short ben.eth for all transactions.
The domain extension .eth belongs to the alternative root systems. The disadvantage is that both partners must download a special software in order that the routing works.
The owners of these .eth domain names can now preferably register the corresponding Luxe-Domains, which work automatically without a plugin software.
Users of Ethereum, which have not bought .eth, can self-evident also register .luxe domains, which be securely associated to the 42-character-address of their wallets.
