discuss Why new gTLDs rule in usability!
I agree with the basic premise - we call them "[human] readable domain names" - and I think this will be the killer app for the nGTLDs When Windows introduced human-readable file names and swept away the old 8.3 file names of MS-DOS we all breathed a sigh of relief (geez, I'm showing my age!) -...- Points: 5

Dedicated Handshake (and/or Blockchain) forum
Since PorkBun joined the Namebase registry platform at the start of November, Handshake SLD registrations have blown up You can see live registrations here - https://twitter.com/HandshakeSLDs And its not just concentrated in one or two TLDs, like dot-C, dot-1 or dot-TX, but across the board...- Points: 4

Open Source EPP Domain Name Registrar Package
I appreciate this topic is not "domaining" as such, but I thought there might be people here who would be interested, especially as there seems to be no end of people complaining about existing registrars !!! I've been working on an Open Source EPP Domain Name Registrar package, as none seemed...- Points: 3

dot-CO is the cctTLD for Columbia. The 2 letter ccTLD domains are taken directly from ISO3166-Alpha-2 (with a few exceptions), that's why they had to introduce it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2 dot-CO has been live since 1991 - https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/co.html...- Points: 3

discuss Handshake domains
There are VPNs that let you opt into using Handshake, as your DNS servers can get automatically changed when you connect into a VPN, but these are issues that will be solved - its still very early days - e.g. it would be extremely trivial for any ISP to also offer an opt-in capability. There...- Points: 3

New G`s with highest renewals?
This is basically LEASING the name not SELLING it. Its the same business model some COM investors go for The problem is no established business needs a nGTLD domain and no start-up can take the risk to front load their costs with $140K a year - it add so much risk. CLUB have a better style -...- Points: 3

Blog post about Drop-Catch
There seems to be a certain myth & mystery about drop-catch - as I had been CTO at dot-IO for ten years, I thought I'd share my experience ina blog https://names.of.london/press/how-to-win-at-drop-catch/ Comments welcome- Points: 3

What would you do if you were in my place?
IMHO, if your example is accurate, they would file a UDRP saying you registered their name in bad faith and they'd successfully take the domain name off you. You wouldn't have a leg to stand on. https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/help/dndr/udrp-en I'm not a lawyer, my advice is worth what...- Points: 3

discuss Why new gTLDs rule in usability!
Yes, there is a lot of variety in the nGTLDs - so to lump them all together is a mistake - but I think those heavily invested in dot-COM like to try and throw the baby out with the bathwater. I agree that what I call the "dot-COM me-too" domains, the ridiculously generic ones like ONL or...- Points: 3

discuss Handshake domains
You can do this, you just have to change your DNS Servers to ones that are Handshake capable. Its possible there may be some issues with some domains in some browsers (for legacy reasons etc), but on the whole I'd expect most of them to work, so long as their DNS can be looked up. dot-C is...- Points: 2

Choose .top domains for your websites and brands?
Domain investors are the icing on the cake - the bread & butter is end-users. Without end-user demand, investors will (understandably) show little or no interest. FYI: I was CTO at dot-IO for 10 yrs, so I speak from that specific experience.- Points: 2

.ai Showcase and discuss .ai (Artificial Intelligence) domains!

I understand some of the reasons why Vince would want to keep the registry "on-island" as this ensures the revenue, jobs etc stay on-island. However...- Points: 2

discuss Will there ever be a .emoji gTLD? ie example.☮️ | example.♋ | etc.
Technically it's possible, in that *ALL* unicode can be encoded as Punycode, but it's disallowed (or rather not specifically allowed for) in RFC5892 - https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5892 The most recent standard for International Domain Names (IDN) called IDNA2008 also specifically disallows...- Points: 2

.io IO is transitioning to Affilias - Is this good or bad?
All park.io needs to do is a standard drop-catch over EPP - "normal" people can beat them by buying a back-order. If back-orders are going to get dropped, then this will likely help park.io, unless Afilias randomise their delete times. nic.io batch delete at 00:30 - so all Park would have to do...- Points: 2

new gtlds nGTLDs plateauing at 27-29million. Growth RATE has reduced by 90%
I agree - I think this statistic is hugely skewed by the fact that there was a lot of heavy discounting and promotions a year ago and a lot of those are now dropping out. This masks the underlying trend, which (I accept) could be going either way - but I have to say, I thought it was...- Points: 2
