How to Get a Bitcoin Name Before They’re Gone👀
A Bitcoin name is something you can say out loud. you@bitcoin.
No 62 character address. No registrar that can take it back. This walkthrough covers both layers.
1. A handle (a sub) is the name most people want. Look it up on Nacho or atbitcoin.com. If it’s free, it’s a one time purchase. After it’s issued, it doesn’t expire. Attach Lightning, a Silent Payment, Nostr, a site, whatever you actually use.
2. A top level Space is different. That’s @bitcoin, @candy, @register - the root. You bid in the open auction or buy a listing. Only ten new Spaces come out a day. Winning one means you operate every handle under it.
No extra chain. No extra token. Bitcoin holds a 32-byte root. Your app checks the name against that root. Good short names don’t stay listed long.👇
