showcase Is now the time to promote DApp Domain Names

[Somertonian]

Hello all,
As the Crypto scene develops in 2018 is now the time to promote DApp's? I have registered some names over the last 6 months and would like to explore selling some of them. Here are some of them (they are all dot com):

I would appreciate any comments you have.

Kind regards,

WhyDApp

That's a very good question. I have no clue.

Whats Dapp?
Good time to invest before people know what it is. Ahead of the curve

 

[Somertonian]

Hi,
Thanks for your replies. DApp is Decentralised Application and is the new Apps being built on Blockchains similar to Apps on Android and IOS. The early DApps are being built on the Etherium platform as well as TRON and EOS. As cryptocurrencies and tokens expand it will be DApps on these platforms that do things. I am not the best at explaining DApps so happy for anyone else to comment and correct me.

Kind regards,
Somertonian

I hope it is:

blockchaindapp/ co

blockchaindapps/ co

blockchaindapp/ host

blockchaindapps/ host

blockchaindapps/ stream

blockchaindapps / download

Hey DomainWolf,
Nice list you have there. The question is are end-users and consumers aware enough of DApps to warrant trying to sell them now or wait for early next year. The way progress is being made (especially with TRON) I don't think it will be long.

Kind regards,
Somertonian

Dapp domains don't sell much. I've only seen about 2 note worthy sales. Your domains are not good, because they aren't exactly what people are looking for keyword wise. Dapps are just apps that are distributed, so consumers will never need to know what a dapp is. That leaves you with a dev community only market and because most of them are marketing to consumers they have no need for such domains. DLT keywords are like clouds in that they are mostly B2B targeted, so there may be a small handful of companies branding with the term dapp, but I don't think it's enough to justify many registrations by many domainers. DLT tech belongs in the background where the average person is completely unaware of their existence...that's where DLT belongs....in the background.

Your domains are mostly information type names that would be used to target people interested in making dapps. That is a very small market and most who would be interested in launching a site in that small area of the dapp industry would not expect to get a great return in that area, so spending 4 figures on such would not make sense from a profitability standpoint, so even if you were to sell a dapp domain, you can't have high price expectations. Dapps are a no go for me personally, but good luck.

My final advice for you is to drop all of these domains and try to purchase better ones, because those are domains that no one *needs*.

Dapp.Foundation sold for 5k I think...it's a one off and has a clear purpose....if you had dappfoundation ot org or dot com maybe they would have purchased it from you...who knows...

Very little opportunity for this keyword, but others may disagree...

I have some:

Winfluence,
Many thanks for the advice given, I appreciate your honesty.

I would say now is the time (a bit late actually) to acquire .app domain names. Google owns the domain extension and provides the secure HTTPS url and no need to purchase a security certificate which are a pain sometimes to implement. They are 3 times the cost of a .com but still cheaper than buying the security certificate and domain name combined cost. Google will no longer crawl or index a URL without the https protocol. May as well be in bed (so to speak) with the IT giant. Just my thoughts today. I have only purchased a couple in the .app extension myself.

D Apps could be the next big thing on the internet. Right now it is a small niche but it has the "feel" of something that can be revolutionary like the iPhone was

It's just apps. Apps have already been revolutionary. Nothing new. Making them Distributed won't be anything that revolutionarily different on the front end for consumers to even notice the difference, so the word Dapp is purely a B2B and developer thing. You'll be lucky if you see even vaguely the amount of success "app" saw in the beginning of the smart phone era.

D does not stand for distributed. It stands for decentralized. You are clearly not knowledgeable on the subject. That's ok. I recommend reading up on Wikipedia and a search engine about it

It is becoming popular

Even if this becomes some sort of moderate sized niche, it feels like a billion dollar industry in its infancy

I started to collect a few dapp names earlier this year, two of which received offers after a few months.

sold one of the best dapp names I had last week for pennies on GD 7 day auction, burned my finger hard with that decision... but congrats for the buyer nevertheless

Being one of the earliest birds in the niche I'm obviously biased, but yes there is a great future for them

When i first got familiar with DApp, i picked up 'Dapptiv' in (dotcom).
I liked this one as a brandable, with it being a portmanteau of 'DApp' and 'Adaptive'.
I also have Daptitude in (dotcom), which doesn't exactly scream DApp but, is a nice blend of 'Adaptability' and 'Aptitude'.

As far DApp domains go, i would side with brandables, that would also make a short and catchy brand name.

'Dapptastic' seems to have better promise than the other regs.

I get those two words mixed up often. Investing in Dapp domains a couple years ago and forgot the exact wording. I learned and sharing what I know as a result.

Dapps are just decentralized apps. Apps are already a billion dollar industry....Why is this concept difficult for you to understand?

If you have an app with a database on a server and you move it to the cloud, do you think it's a new industry just because it's on the cloud??? No, it's the cloud that is new. So in the case of Dapps it's DLTs that are the new industry, not the apps. The word Dapp simply means that it's an app that utilizes a DLT.

Keep investing in Dapp domains if you want! Just remember this convo when you lose money.

The d is important because consumers don't want to be spied on by google or facebook. That's where the concept of dapps will get popular.

They aren't "just apps with a different backend"

The backend is very important in this case. People want to know they're getting a dapp when they search for one.

 

[Somertonian]

Winfluence and Domainguy50,
Thank you for the discussion, I have to say I agree with Domainguy50. I think as Blockchain technology and Cryptocurrencies evolve and mature they will eventually get to a stage when mass adoption becomes a realistic outcome. I am not entirely sure when that will be, but I think in the next 24 months give or take. I do agree with Winfluence that DApp domain names will only be of interest to a smallish niche group of people, the ones with the vision to create sites that will appeal to the masses. So I conclude that the next 6 months to a year is the time to be selling DApp domain names in preparation for an optimistic view of mass adoption in a couple of years.

Kind regards,
Somertonian

They really are just "apps with a different backend"...Most people do not care about what happens to their info. This has been proven time and time again. With the exception of some niche industries where it particularly matters for a smallish set of consumers, 99.9% of the population will never care about what a Decentrlized App is. It's the profitable advantages that is fueling decentralized ledgers today, in the same way that clouds did. The fact that decentralized apps don't garrauntee that your information is private underlines this fact. Your claim that decentralization means privacy is not necessarily true. You have to look at the different companies and the different reasons they are using a DLT.

DLTs are a hit right now because they allow better fairness and mediation between two parties without the need for a middle man. DLTs are a hit right now because they provide faster and cheaper transactions than the current bank infrastractures. DLTs are a hit right now because they solve a lot of issues related to meeting consensus. They are a hit because they solve issues that no one had no solutions to until DLTs came into existence. In some cases they are a means of better security, but not necessarily in the area of privacy. Privacy is a matter of corporate and government policy, not technology alone my friend.

These are the things you would know already if you would look beyond Wikipedia...Learn about an industry before investing in domains for keywords you understand lttle about.

More than a "Billion Dollar Industry", EOS raised over $4B in the biggest ICO in Human history. However, even they did not need a dApp domain.

Mobile phones are just processors under a piece of glass and plastic from China.
Wearable devices are just processors in wearable form.
Smartwatches are just pedometers with a piece of glass and slightly more function


Anyone can belittle anything. It doesn’t mean anything

I agree, Dapp domains will be one of the next big trends when the crypto market picks up again.

I have a few Dapp domains listed for sale:
Dappgasm
DappHeaven
