December 10th, 2010I’ve registered cryptogon.ch with the Swiss registrar Switchplus. I don’t know how well .ch will hold up going forward, but it seemed prudent to at least have an alternative if I should lose control of the cryptogon.com domain for any reason. At a minimum, .ch appears to be far, far more desirable than the U.S. […]
