While surfing through Telegram this morning, the Unstoppable Domains chat was buzzing that someone was working on a private beta to link e-mail to .zil domains. Lucky me, at the right place and the right time, with my klymacks.zil domain at the ready, I asked the developer Tony if I could join- and I was quickly accepted! The site I’m working with is bmails.xyz
I was asked to do one of three things to verify my domain and in exchange receive klymacks@zil.email!
- Send a 0.001 ZIL transaction from the wallet in which your .zil domain is claimed to blockmails.zil
- Send a 0$ tx using any fee free blockchain (like iota, or nano) by signing your domain name
- Updating the IPFS hash for your website domain to a specified value
I chose option #1 and within minutes Tony was e-mailing me back with the details about my shiny new e-mail. Awesome! Thanks again, Tony. I logged in to the webmail at https://webmail.zil.email/to reset the password already. I’ll poke around and probably do a follow-up at some point later. Check it out yourself at the link below!

About the Author:
I’m an early cryptocurrency advocate. I discovered Bitcoin in 2013 when it was trading for around $200 and have been completely hooked since. A developer buddy and I looked into trading in the summer of 2017 and I’ve been dabbling with that since. Soon after that, I started mining Ethereum and other currencies with GPU miners so the business of keeping all that organized quickly escalated to being a full time job alongside my normal 9-5. I thought I’d start writing some of my experiences down to keep them straight and to reference if I ever needed or wanted to so I started writing in Steem, and I enjoyed blogging about my mining chronicles for awhile. But, I lost interest in mining as the profits dwindled with increasing overhead so I eventually stepped back and setup a few gaming rigs for my son and I so that we could play some of these games I had been missing on Vega graphics together and liquidated most of my equipment. I still mine a little Ether and Zilliqa today on ezil. I spend my free time exploring and contributing feedback to various blockchain projects today, you can probably find me in the Telegram or Discord for the latest blockchain technology learning about it and asking questions. I’m writing on Publish0x lately about stuff I like and sharing these posts on Twitter at @klymacks for now. Will probably expand to Blurt when that releases, the newest fork of Steem under the same name.
