Earlier today, the domain 'sex.crypto' sold for 230 ETH, or approximately $90,000 at press time. The domain extension .crypto is generated by Unstoppable Domains and is censorship-resistant. The transaction, which occurred on OpenSea's token marketplace, was completed by a user named Maxstealth. Currently, he owns 196 .crypto domains in total. [Read all]

We need proof fellas;


Convoluted set up to access ngtld, for one.

Doesnt really seem like a “domain”

What is “OpenSea marketplace”? Never heard.

I have not heard of OpenSea before either, but after checking it out and attempting to list domain on it, it's legit - just not well known. Yes, unstoppabledomains needs a little work on making it more user friendly, but the idea behind it is on point, as my point of view. When all said and done, The people that take 1 look at a wallet address, and its enough to put them over the edge, will be able to get drawn back in. Just like our internet, we used to have to type out an actual IP address sometimes. It evolved into all these domains. The same will happen with crypto addresses. "Yeah just send it to me at thedrop.crypto".

As far as it being a domain, I worked for GoDaddy for 3 years, and the .crypto domains do 3 things. 1) It acts as a wallet (send all types of crypto to domain name), 2) It allows you to actually use it to build a website on it, just point the DNS to the webhosting. These are uncencorable websites and domains, not on somebodys server and not related to ICANN. And 3) I have read that they allow you to purchase crypto with them, without the fees of an exchange.

Brilliant investement from the seller's point of view.

Are you bashing the buyer or the seller? Aren't domainers buyers and sellers?

is it a use case or it is already possible. In which case I want to check if my first name is available. I am not sure about you all but maintaining crypto is quite task for me. I have a trezor, but I always worry about what if it gets lost, or somebody steals it. Fck man. I have coded the seed and sent a hard copy to brother which is richer than me, to safeguard for me in case I die, but fuck.

Looks like a new member may have more than just an interest in .crypto? :xf.smile:

How will it work out when the owner of Crypto, which was purchased at namebase.io, decides to develop holdem.crypto? In fact how will it work out for any .crypto owners once Handshake builds out more features and use capability?

Guys, anything you are being worry is no worries, I get it it’s a bit complicated to manage and understanding but you need to think like young people, it wouldn’t be a problem for new generations to learn as long as crypto things will thrive.
And there will be more and more secondary market places coming out the interface will be much appreciated, why not do it now?

Good point.

That is why no one should ever jump into the deep end of a new thing. (Not for you, Keith, but for newbies.) In other words... Never spend money that you can't afford to lose.

I strongly recommend buy .eth although .crypto promotes it first in Namepros and their interface is more friendly to general people, I like .crypto but their process has been way too slow than ethereum, for the website development perspectives there is still many things to progress.
Some people would think it’s nefarious but some others would think it as freedom, majority people hate unfair powers that’s why it will inevitably be thriving, would you have car.com in 1986 if you would had chance?
It’s very obsessed technique, not just only considering website purposes, for example you can try download the “Status” in app store that built under web 3.0 and try to feel it, it’s a chatting platform you will have a free wallet address while you open up an account and every conversation you’re made is saved on p2p servers( your message will be eliminated within 30 days automatically), no one can see your chat with your friend unless someone has your private key, and of course you can change your public key to your .eth domain name, it’s just only one of example, enjoy it.
ps. I haven't try if it's usable for .crypto or .xyz,, .club yet since they're all can be resolved in ENS.

Doesn't .eth charge $5/yr? (I may be wrong)

I haven't looked at their interface.

Except dictionary words and famous ones they are $5/each, some other medium class cost around $160 a year.
.crypto is one time purchase permanently, If I am not wrong the 5L.crypto are $800, 4L.crypto are $2000, longer words between $40-80, I think they both will won in crypto domain industry because the value is not just only based on functionality and also a "mind" territory occupation.

Yeah, the .cryptos I have are 8+ letters. Not the best, but I didn't get them to make a quick profit.

I guess it's a 10 years investment, I believe blockchain Dapps will be flourish in 2023-2025.

and other tips:
It's quite easy to have .eth, I have 3 pcs of them. I secured one of my favor keyword in .com.
1. Download the Metamask Chrome extension. (1 min)
2. Use Matamask generate a wallet, write down the seed phrases(or private key) to your A4 paper. (5 mins)
3. go to exchange buy around $50 eth coin and sent to your wallet you created in step 2.(30 mins)
4. Go to ens.domains launch the ens app, search your domain and buy. (10 mins)
5. Set up the Google Callander to insure renewal for next year. (1 mins)

That's it.

I have not heard about your #3, but yes to numbers 1 & 2. I built a simple website on 1 of mine and was surprised when unstoppable domains actually mentioned it in one of their emails a month or two ago.

Steps 1-5 is particularly to having .eth domain, #3 is just to say to have .eth domain you'll need some ethcoins.
For .crypto is easier that there is no step 3 and 5.

By the way, I am kinda scare it because i own around 2800+ tld and Ngtlds.
Very hard to make decision distributing my capital to different domains, to drop domain is one of hardest decision to make, I'm sort of want to just only keep very high quality .coms. and ngtlds.

I know it feels like wut the hell, .crypto or .eth... it's like window 7 jump to Vista then to 10.
I think the result will be that all the medium class domain value will be scatter away cuz so many domain extension choices to date.

Even though I don't fully understand blockchain, I can see that many people and organizations are moving to it and researching it. That is a major thing.
I would suggest to people to look into it. Don't just throw the news aside otherwise you might be left in the dust one day.

Domains and websites are a brand new thing in the blockchain. There are many other aspects such as NFTs (which I believe UD domains are, as well as some gaming NFTs). I'm sure there are other things, as well. Blockchain is a whole new world and don't simply shun it because it's new. Believe it or not, it's not all a huge scam. Blockchain definitely has its benefits. But, be careful and don't waste all your money in 1 place.

Indeed, that's why I only have few of them, the markets always have chance to join in.
generally the .com holders don't need to worry about it but need to know/learn about it.
There were so many scam all because they're selling decentralized thing in a very centralized way.

Is there any relationship between sex and crypto ? That is how you should know that human does not think same. Some are of higher spirit and some are of lower spirit.

All fingers crossed; at least two persons have bought sex.crypto now tomorrow could bring the third person.
I am just curious to know why it was priced and sold at that price - 230Eth? Wonder shall never end !

Think outside the box, I would build a sex website to who want to have sex experience and also want to cover their identities considering the site combining with VR technology, having sex with others avatars to whom has a real identity in real world, and no one can have taken the site down, you can generate your own 3rd level address like xxxx.sex.crypto, you can store your token in your xxxx.sex.crypto, you can trade sex photograph and stuffs anonymously, you can talk whatever you want without worrying someone is monitoring your activity, how’s that sounds?

Cool, and how are people going to access the website? If someone types that into their browser like you would do in a normal browser it won't resolve.

You need to have alternate DNS, have a different browser, have a browser extension, or whatever.

Either way these domains are not accessible to the average person and it creates massive friction in the process.

This is certainly going to be an extension in the ICANN used DNS one day. ICANN is not going to care about this on some alternate root. Anyone can set up something like this, and it has been done in the past. When the new extensions rolled out they just steamrolled existing alternate extensions like new.net, and delegated them anyway.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New.net

Unstoppable domains better show up at the .crypto auction when it happens with deep pockets, as the actual extension in the normal DNS root will have heavy competition.
