    If You Owned 1,000 Domains, Would You Build Your Own Marketplace?

    No, most domain investors are interested in domain names, not in spending time and money building a public brand. I have over 1000 domains but building my own marketplace is the last thing on my mind; you'd need at least 10,000 domains to even consider it and even then I'm not really sure what...

    discuss Big Tech & Silicon Valley Founders are Quietly Locking Down .SI Domains The Next Frontier After .AI?

    Even more notably, none of your example .si domain names are being used to promote any form of AI. They all either: Redirect to a .com, Don't resolve at all, or Resolve to a site with nothing to do with AI Your own breakdown confirms that neither of those things are true and the future of...

    I think quite a few of us got into the game so we could stay in the shadows and not have to deal with actual people. :xf.laugh:

    If You Owned 1,000 Domains, Would You Build Your Own Marketplace?

    This 100%! Over twenty years ago I made the schoolboy error of using one of my best domains as my personal email address so I've now turned down quite a few £xx,xxx offers for that domain because the hassle involved in changing all my bank, investment, ecommerce and forum logins etc. is just too...

    Why Do Many Domainers Treat Crypto Like an Alien Asset?

    "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" - for the vast majority of people, on both sides of the pond, there's simply no benefit to getting involved with crypto. As @bmugford rightly said, what's the point? You're just adding an unnecessary extra complication and risk to getting your money into a...

    .now showcase and discussion

    Brilliant song! As you and @Eric Lyon have shown, it's actually quite scary how good AI is at audio stuff - often quite indistinguishable from human creativity. Interesting times ahead...

    Why Do Many Domainers Treat Crypto Like an Alien Asset?

    Anecdotally, just over 5 years ago, I added crypto as a payment option to my main site and landers. This week I removed it... I had a prominent 'Bitcoin accepted here' graphic on every single page and a 'Pay by Bitcoin' option (right under Pay by PayPal) on thousands of domain buy pages - in...

    question Offer on domain accepted, now they won't pay.

    Like @biggie I've never heard of Nest before - if experienced domainers haven't heard of them then it's unlikely many buyers have either. You may not like GoDaddy but the fact is that the Afternic/GoDaddy network is the biggest there is so maybe reconsider unless there's an overriding reason...

    If You Owned 1,000 Domains, Would You Build Your Own Marketplace?

    I get the trust and credibility aspect (although there are lots of ways to achieve those without having a brand) but I don't get the long-term relationship bit. Buying a domain name is not like buying the latest phone or earphones where you might want to buy again in 12 months time. The chance...

    video Asphalt To Assets (Remixed) - Trucker Country - Domain Industry

    Love it, the vocals, score and lyrics are brilliant. Have to say though that if North American truckers drive around with their laptops open as in the video then it's no surprise that Jamie Davis is kept so busy! :xf.laugh:

    video x2 TikTok Specific domain related Series (Flipped in 20 Seconds / Country Coded)

    Fair play, I can barely do one job at a time well so trying to multi-task with a 20 minute alarm would be difficult for me. :xf.grin: I'm guessing you can't get your in-house AI to mark its own homework? I.e. tell it what the success criteria are so that once a clip has finished it checks for...

    Why Do Many Domainers Treat Crypto Like an Alien Asset?

    I think you'll find that most people are neither pro- or anti- crypto, most people simply don't care as it's not something that affects their everyday life.

    The NPCs on the left are quite entertaining; some remind me of extras from The Walking Dead. :xf.grin:

    video The Domain Community - S1 - E15: Shots Fired - (In Full HD)

    I'm not sure about the content as a positive marketing message... :xf.laugh: but from a technical point of view... Some parts such as the closeup of the soldier at 00:20 look great on a 138 inch screen but then at 00:29 the picture rapidly deteriorates - is this an issue with the source or a...

    video x2 TikTok Specific domain related Series (Flipped in 20 Seconds / Country Coded)

    I have to be honest that I've never ever visited TikTok so I've no real idea what it's all about but your posts have spurred me on to check it out now. (y)

    video x2 TikTok Specific domain related Series (Flipped in 20 Seconds / Country Coded)

    Wow, the results are really impressive - I assumed each video would take maybe an hour or so but I had no idea it took around 17 hrs to create a minute or two of video - that's dedication, patience and a bit of craziness right there. :xf.laugh: I take my hat off to you. As you point out, at...

    video x2 TikTok Specific domain related Series (Flipped in 20 Seconds / Country Coded)

    Understand if you'd rather not say but I am curious as to the cost of creating each video short - as in roughly how many hours of your time writing the initial system prompts, writing the bespoke instructions for each video and cost of the AI tokens?

    Why Do Many Domainers Treat Crypto Like an Alien Asset?

    This is true but at the end of the day there's just no or little benefit to domainers using crypto. It's more work, more risk and more uncertainty as to how much something actually costs or profits. Fundamentally, if my experience over the last five years is anything to go by, there's just no...

    discuss Big Tech & Silicon Valley Founders are Quietly Locking Down .SI Domains The Next Frontier After .AI?

    As it says on every single chatgpt page: "ChatGPT can make mistakes"... :xf.wink: This appears to be a text book example of chatgpt telling you what you want to hear. My mantra is "don't make me think" so that's a negative in my book, is it pronounced /see/ or /S I/? "Don't make me think"...

    discuss Big Tech & Silicon Valley Founders are Quietly Locking Down .SI Domains The Next Frontier After .AI?

    You are correct and that real and valuable information confirms that the wishful-thinking hype for .si should be ignored - your analysis breakdown clearly shows that .com is where the future of AI lies. (y)
