Since 2015 there is a fork of Namecoin because the .bit TLD was never established: SixElevenCoin

Since that date, blockchain registered domain name objects of 611coin are published using the anonymous SLD .611.to.

611coin is an accepted #cryptocurrency #blockchain domain namespace. The SLD .611.to is listed in the Public Suffix List which is used by major Browser and SSL authorities.

And like Namecoin, 611coin is an Open Source project: GitHub 611project

Interesting. Aside from publishing names through a (centralised) server on 611.to, is there any other features that 611 has over Namecoin? Because if that is all, then honestly it sounds like a cash grab to me - in Namecoin itself, everyone is free to just run something like 611.to on their own server if they want. No fork or permission required to do so. If you want a centralised server to resolve .bit, just go ahead and set one up.

Yeah, it's obviously a cash grab; there was apparently a massive premine. See https://forum.namecoin.org/viewtopic.php?p=16101#p16101 , h/t to erkan for surfacing that.
