What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?

[MapleDots]

I'm catching the tail end of this, seems to be some kind of controversy...

https://domaingang.com/domain-news/rob-monster-off-twitter-after-christchurch-massacre-controversy/

Must be something odd to evoke this type of a response from one of our members.

Nice having Epik to handle escrows as an option. Seems to be working for some real players in our industry. Really cool.

 

[Chris Hydrick]

Really cool.

Yeah, just about every other registrar besides epik is really cool for not supporting neo Nazis content.

You couldn't be more right. Epik is NOT cool.

Shame on Epik for enabling such a website.

 

[Silentptnr]

You are right. Shame on Epik escrow.

Funny how some registrars actually give instructions on how to properly set up controversial websites...

Thank goodness for Epik supporting .bible. And for .bible supporting Epik.

It says a lot to me.

Wow, I didn't know Epik went to that extent to enable gab. Shocking!

 

[Silentptnr]

I was also looking into the WhoQ project over at Epik... I think that will be a real winner for the domaining community.

 

[Chris Hydrick]

.bible supporting Epik.

I see.

So you're saying other .Bible registrants needs to read Wikipedia?

Is gab a Christian website?

When will they be rebranding to gab.bible?

Will Epik labs be assisting gab.bible similar to how epik assists gab.com?

 

[Silentptnr]

I see.

It's a fact that .bible is powered by Epik. Not that it matters much to me for business purposes. I like the escrow service and the nameliquidate platform.

With all the choices out there, it impressive how much I'm seeing and hearing good things about Epik.

Yes,

I did point out that NameLiquidate allowed buyers to place false bids. Eg people bid against you without a valid payment method on file.

Buyers at NameLiquidate beware.

There are probably more bugs

 

[Silentptnr]

I found some good info on NameLiquidate. Thought I would share...

"NameLiquidate – This is a service of domain name registrar Epik. It runs reverse auctions that start at $998 and decrease to $9 over 168 hours. Given that your name might sell for just $9, this is a service if you are truly looking to liquidate of a domain. [Update: you can set a reserve/minimum above $9.] In fact, the service lets you list domains that have already expired so long as they can still be transferred if someone buys it."

All this is really helping me understand better what's going on with Epik.

 

[Silentptnr]

Anyone know anything about Anonymize?

 

[Chris Hydrick]

info on NameLiquidate

It is true.

I paid less for a domain on NameLiquidate than I would have paid for it at namePros.

The name was ShillBidding.com ... I wonder if that's the only shill bidding that will be sold from nameliquidate.

You are quite correct in that namePros marketplace attracts more buyers (in total amount of buyers and the amount of money buyers are willing to pay) than NameLiquidate.

 

[Silentptnr]

Whoa...really good article about this..here's a comment I thought was particularly interesting.

"That *fallacious* conversation about being “licensed” was already completed 1,000 miles ago, in case anyone recalls. And I even pointed out personally that probably no one who comments in these blogs has as much real world professional experience addressing the “licensing” requirements of other businesses as I do – if even one person has any such experience at all. It’s nonsense. I will never use escrow.com again either to buy or sell if I can help it even if their stack of “licenses” could reach the sky, don’t want to, and would *much* rather use Epik than escrow.com a 1,000 times over."

Check out the whole article from a few weeks ago...
Escrow.com Statement on “Security Incident”

Just wow.

 

[Internet.Domains]

Interesting.... I am curious to know what numbers, or what sources, you used to come to that conclusion?

Thats great that NameLiquidate has seen such phenomenal growth, so quickly, to even be compared to NP.

 

[Chris Hydrick]

Interesting....

Yes,

It is amazing how much better namePros is compared to anything Epik.

Epik = NOT cool.

 

[Silentptnr]

Wow,

Epik REALLY dropped the ball there.

Does anybody that works at or owns Epik actually care about humanity or have ethics?

Or is every Epik employee a bona fide asshole by Epik affiliation?

Lol...that's quite the review. No, only you care about humanity.

You seem to be losing some self control here tonight. As a friend I say, it might be time to relax a bit. Enjoy the evening.

 

[Chris Hydrick]

Wait, you don't care?

 

[Silentptnr]

Wait, you don't care?

I really cant speak to that. I think I care but I spend most of my time on making money by finding great services like Epik.

Since you're bored I can recommend this book to pass some of the time:

https://www.namepros.com/blog/bookshelf-domnomics-the-business-of-domain-names.1184737/

Get yourself a good spot somewhere in the sun, put your feet up and enjoy an epic honey flavoured lemonade to stay hydrated. It will lighten up your day.
