services Payoneer Terminates Escrow Service

We just received an email notice moments ago from a representative of Payoneer that “Payoneer is discontinuing our escrow business”. This appears to be effective immediately. Read the article There is in update in the article that there is a 90-day wind-down period.

Are you aware that some of the biggest domainers in the world prefer EscrowDomains.com over competitors?

I think we are blowing this out of proportion. Do you remember when RM/Epik spammed the forum with promotional threads and used over 20 staff accounts plus proxy accounts? This is just one thread. Everyone should have their 5 minutes in the spotlight if they offer services that can benefit...

NP gave RM plenty of rope to hang himself. Also he was an advertiser for a while. It is quite obvious that Epik had a lot of staff accounts, as well as proxy accounts, which manipulated the results. Then Epik placed a self-made award badge and statement on their home page, "Epik recognized as...

You are missing the point. When a site gets notoriety or popularity it will be a target of hackers. Whether it is anonymous or someone else is besides the point. The point is what actions are taken to protect sensitive customer information. If reasonable actions are implemented and still a hack...

@Rob Monster, instead of turning your public statement into a PR spin, you have to answer the tough questions.

Humanity and Cyber Attacks

Let me try. I think we are seriously overthinking and dramatizing the scope of this thread. Indeed, the new war is taking place in the digital domain. Hacking into government systems, misinformation campaigns, etc. But this is not what is happening here. Yes, the reason why E got hacked is...

Bias is far from neutral by definition. What I am finding hard to understand is why don't you refute each argument you find incorrect point by point if the truth is on your side. Don't attack the person. If their argument is weak then just destroy it with facts.

Pointing out gender and with the adjective or determiner, "little", is very negative and disrespectful. In this context it also sounds misogynistic. There already is a thread for that. This thread is for you @Rob Monster. Don't try to change the subject. Please respond to questions raised in...

@Rob Monster, your hypocrisy is quite demonstrative. You have damned yourself by attacking perceived competitors to lure their customers to your business (without provocation), you have courted openly and given safe haven to those that declare their hatred for marginalized groups, you have...

After a lot of reading, watching, listening, and reporting, I am confident to state that all of this comes down to money and profits. Hosting controversial, far-right, and hate-speech content is a very small niche. When you are the only one providing services to such sites, then you basically...

opinion Hand Registering Domains Is Not Domain Investing

I'm trying really hard to find something to disagree with you on. Indeed, all domains began with a hand registration. If you are willing to renew a domain for multiple years you step into the realm of investment. This is because you see clear value in the domain and see that the domain can...

What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?

So much for resilient hosting. SQL injection? This is amateur stuff. The kids want to have their "safe space". But kids are still kids. Sorry to be so blunt. But this is the reality. The utter stupidity of Jan 6 perpetrators to live post their actions just makes the point.

advice Expert Exchange: What Are Your Top Tips for Outbound Domain Sales?

I think one of the most important tips mentioned is "Do not spam people". I would add also: don't even give the appearance of spam, which includes: 1. Make sure that the domain does not infringe on any trademarks. 2. Don't pitch inferior domains to end-users that own superior domains. I see...

Hey, I have had my posts deleted for not being nice or being off topic. I don't cry about it. I used to. Now I accept that this is not my forum. The mods have the right to keep it up to their standards. If your posts were deleted there must have been a reason beyond that you disagreed with...

@Rob Monster is using his new forum, yes the one that used to be owned by AD, to attack me. Not any argument raised about the hack. But me individually. That is part of his modus operandi. Imagine that. I have been a member of that forum since 2005. Paid for membership. Now the new owner is...

All of this is just so convoluted, it boggles the mind. They are "good people", "honorable", "ethical", "responsible". But their code sucked and they wouldn't give access. But we still used it to make money for as long as we could. What?! Who runs a company this way?

debate Why are you not successful in domaining???

For a while now I am seeing a very limited number of domainers being covered in blog post after blog post. I can count them on one hand. It has led to their current high profile status. It makes the domaining industry look very small while, at the same time, giving maximum exposure in a very...
