Namecheap now accepts Bitcoin

[BurntPickle]

From their newsletter:

We're ecstatic to announce that we now accept Bitcoin, the decentralized peer to peer currency. Namecheap is the first major domain registrar to accept this payment method. We're also the fifth largest website in the world to use Bitcoin. We're really excited to be on the cutting edge and hope those of you who use Bitcoin will try it out.

This is good news now; bad news later after spam and malware have hit new highs.

In the short term, of course, this is fucking A. All the other registrars will be forced to match, and up to a Billion dollars a year could be displaced by bitcoin over this.

We didn't have to wait a long time for response from another reputable registrar, 1&1:

In response to Namecheap now accepting Bitcoin we secretly installed few services on your account for which you will be charged without even being aware of. We also made our control panel even more retarded. Please forget about transferring domains from us, we made it almost impossible.
