Apologies for the lack of response. I have not long been back in Cyprus following a business trip to London.

I did say a merchant was pushing to have it published in the WSJ.

I have the domain bitcoincyprus.com, we did try and register the name bitcoin.com.cy however Mt Gox wouldn't provide the permission required because they dont want corporations to hold the domain, which is understandable.

One of the reasons why we are not mentioned by name in the articles is due to the fact it has already got many people asking how do I get Bitcoin. We are ahead of schedule but we still will not be in a position to open the branches to make it easy for people. However it has brought great awareness about Bitcoin in Cyprus.

Thanks for the info, keep up the good work!

Just a quick question: what has MtGox to do with .cy domains? I checked on http://www.marcaria.com/ and bitcoin.com.cy shows as available

The public University controls the ccTLD for Cyprus, all applications go through them and because of the trademark being registered, they rejected our application for the domain and requested a letter of consent for the domain to be registered. We then contacted MtGox and they denied our request. All we wanted to use the domain for was to use it for providing a knowledge base on Bitcoin in the Greek language. But MtGox just don't want them falling into a corporations hands.....

I see. I wasn't aware that MtGox is the owner of the Bitcoin trademark Shocked
