You said it. I own some XRP domains myself. But none as awesome as this one. Who the heck let this domain delete?

This guy effectively made an app for three billion dollar companies to use. Apple, Google, Ripple.

Plus XR stands for Extended reality.

Double bang.

I would have HodL! On that one. Lol

What am I not understanding? The domain seems to forward to a project based website verses a commercial end user.

Yes. But the guy created an app that basically exposes Ripple XRP payments to pretty much ever mobile user on the planet. Plus Xrpay.com says it all in a domain. There can only be one purpose for securing it. Ripple loves funding startups that help their cause.

I foresee Xrpay to become some incubator startup like Airbnb.

wow, u mean a domain was actually reggae'd by someone who will use it for non-domain-selling purposes? I can't believe that actually happened! It's almost like that's supposed to be the way things should go or something

It wasn't hand regged. Bought at auction at namejet which means this guy got this domain on stealth mode. At $963 this domain went too cheap. There are worse domains than this that sold for more.

So if they had paid $2,000 or $5,000 instead.....what's the difference ?

Namejet would have made some more dough, all the same for domainers.

My point is several.

1. Sometimes a domain most domainers think isn't worth above $963 is actually worth something. Probably.

Would this domain have been sold for more? Knowing the facts?

This app developer is going to get offers soon. Not sure when but what he did was a big deal which usually equates to big money.

2. Put your best domains on auto renew.
3. Send a domain to auction if you plan to just let it drop.
4. Good domains are sometimes overlooked even by experts. Had this domain gone to namescon it would probably have gone to high $x,xxx or even low $xx,xxx

Good points you have there. At the same time, don't forget that a domain name is only as valuable as whatever the buyer is willing to pay.

Even if the original owner has held it for long, the probability that the domain will be bought at a high $x,xxx figure or a low $xx,xxx is 0.5 since the seller in this case doesn't know its value.

Speaking of cryptocurrency domain name steals.... I'm considering selling CoinCaps.com wholesale for under USD$2k this week. The name says it all. PM me if you're interested asap.
