What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?

MapleDots · Mar 20, 2019

I'm catching the tail end of this, seems to be some kind of controversy...

https://domaingang.com/domain-news/rob-monster-off-twitter-after-christchurch-massacre-controversy/

Must be something odd to evoke this type of a response from one of our members.

Of course I could have just Googled it:

"The answer has to do with how humans develop in the womb, said Ian Tattersall, a paleoanthropologist at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

"Basically, males and females are all built from the same genetic blueprint," Tattersall told Live Science. "Then, [they] develop in slightly different directions [in utero and] particularly after we hit puberty."

During the first several weeks, male and female embryos follow the same blueprint, which includes the development of nipples. However, at about six to seven weeks of gestation, a gene on the Y chromosome induces changes that lead to the development of the testes, the organ that makes and stores sperm and produces testosterone, according to the book..........

"The fact is that we carry a lot of evolutionary baggage around with us," Tattersall said. "Natural selection is not hovering there all of the time to get rid of things we absolutely don't need."

Namepros - Where you learn about men's nips

And if push comes to shove, you can even look into the topic of male lactation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_lactation

I hesitate to cite Wikipedia as a credible reference these days but there it is. Apparently the plumbing is all there so if there are no women around to do the job, God could theoretically make it happen.

In modern times, Dad goes to the grocery store and buys some infant formula, but apparently that is not always an option. So, God, made allowance for a backup plan in case some bloodline was going to end!

when quantum computers are evolving
( there are 3 existing already right now )

Ya'll have been busy today posting and I have two more pages to catch up on!

I admit I did not check any link if one was provided, but there are at least 3 quantum computers in operation in America today...I've got no doubt that Russia, Germany and China at least have one a piece...if not multiples.

We (humans of all nations) will have a stark awakening once the criminal element has a few to work with.

There are currently no reliable and accurate quantum computers in operation anywhere in the World. IMO

I hear you...but with all due respect, you are wrong.

EDIT/ADD: but we can respectfully agree to disagree.

The prototype quantum computers that you hear about have an accuracy of about 30% , that means only 30 percent of the time they come up with the right answer, the main problem is that the entangled photons (or particles in some cases) are very fragile and don't hold for long. Now in 10 or 20 years we might have perfectly functional quantum computers or phones that you can hold in your hand, but for now they are very bulky and inaccurate devices that are only used by scientists in a few high tech labs.

I agree they are not easy or cheap to operate, but what we are discussing is an issue far above our pay grades.

Colossus was not acknowledged until 30 years after its deployment...it is still the same today with top tier technologies in every field. My prediction is that quantums will not be 'mainstream' or acknowledged until one is used in a negative manner (for ill gotten gains). Time will tell...maybe we should make a friendly wager!

Below is recent news re giggle and their 'public' efforts...IBM will be making an announcement soon.

When they say a major improvement that means compare to how they are now not the way that they are going be ultimately. Nevertheless as you know the regular computers that we have now at one time were also very bulky and weak and it took around 75 years for them to get to where they are now, so we should give the quantum computers a little time too to reach their optimum capabilities.

you actually don't need a criminal element
in order for the need to wake up

Geordie Rose, Founder of D-Wave (recent clients are Google and NASA) believes that the power of quantum computing is that we can `exploit parallel universes’ to solve problems that we have no other means of confirming. Simply put, quantum computers can think exponentially faster and simultaneously such that as they mature they will out pace us.

I hate to post about all this here
as I love to discuss AI

but at the same time
I hate to feed a thread about Rob

and on top of that

I don't know how I could even possibly post something out of topic here
and I can't remember what I posted that got deleted

but ok
its all about free speech
as far as I remember

Agreed here.

Also, for the record, I have no financial or administrative interest in Gab, neither directly or indirectly, and I doubt I ever will. I took the controversial decision to be their registrar when Godaddy fired them.

I was briefly active at Gab as a user after major media outlets went after me for that decision. Once the Founder of Gab added capable counsel, I have had essentially zero contact with him.

As for the user count topic, this is a constant theme. Gab's latest project Dissenter.com is growing like a weed as well and once again, we have the user count nonsense.

Show attachment 116661

This time the reason why the user count issue came up is because the CEO of the Brave browser missed the opportunity to help Gab, and now ends up with seeding a viable competitor.

As for Gab's content, there is still cringeworthy content there. No question. Gab continues to exist because Facebook and Twitter went too far with their heavy-handed biased censorship.

And while I am not a stakeholder in Gab, I do believe Gab is doing a lot with a little, and I would certainly not suggest that anyone should bet against them. They are nimble, resourceful and resilient.

WOW! What a joke Rob Monster is. He is knowingly and intentionally lying about gab's traffic because he wants to make his decision to host gab domain a bigger deal than it is SO HE CAN PROFIT FROM THE PUBLICITY. Gab shill, Rob Monster should not be trusted. He has threatened with me "court date or judgement day" for simply telling the truth about the false claims he has made about his products - he pretends to have built everything when almost all is in fact white label resales.

He also demanded I remove my videos from the internet exposing gab as a fraudulent pump and dump. Why would a domain host make such a demand? Can you imagine godaddy or any other domain host demanding someone remove videos from youtube they disagree with?

He has pumped several companies for info and ideas that have spoken to him in confidence about their products and services to steal ideas so he can create competing products, he has even pretended to want to purchase companies to get inside info.

He has no concern for creating real human friendly solutions. His goal is take control of all he can, pump value of epik and have a big pay day.

LOL. A viable competitor. You guys are so dishonest it is ridiculous. Still shilling for gab in hopes of getting in on a coat tail grift and eventually acquiring. You are so transparent. Here is a video showing a bunch of lies stack one on top of each other,you know like you do.

frank-germany · Oct 27, 2019

to me it looks like this:

Rob wants all the domainers to move their domains to Epik
as he wants all their domains

ok not all
just the ones they let expire

there is no way to delete a domain at epik

each expired domain immediately gets tested by epik
in terms of traffic and potential value

only really useless domains finally become deleted

what a plan:
no need for a drop catch system no more

Genius idea.

Godaddy had that idea long before. I am not sure if it worked but they are still in business despite ancient software and high overhead so they must have done something right. Maybe you figured it out...

As for the expiry stream, it would be quite unusual for a pro domainer to drop a good name after 7 renewal notices and a grace period.

What is more likely that they would use our platform to sell or lease and we get 9%. Or they use our awesome escrow service and hold funds at Epik long enough to buy more domains.

Your theory does not really explain why we extend people interest-free loans on domains they would otherwise lose due to insufficient funds.

Maybe we actually are benevolent people. Could it possibly be? Is there even a tiny chance, Frank? Just maybe there might be a company that is governed by “do unto others” as a moral code?

Well, I will take that as a compliment. As you have apparently put quite some effort to put me under your microscope, I do particularly appreciate the vote of entrepreneurial confidence. As for my motive, or inspiration, I guess you will just have to wait a few years to discern that one.

After a domain is 5 days old, we don't have a ready ability to delete a name. We simply mark it for deletion. From time to time, we login at the Verisign namestore to manually delete a name but our API does not have a delete command beyond the 5 day tasting period. That's why.

Mary Muse · Oct 28, 2019

I think we should be critical and vigilant, as we're a very unique, intelligent, and ambitious community.

But we should always be kind and give the benefit of a doubt.

Pretty doubtful but we can certainly check it for you. Feel free to PM the details and we'll advise you about it. If you ever have a domain that needs an explicit registry delete, just contact support and we can fast-track a delete action. Registry deletes outside of the tasting period or at the end of expiry are not a routine thing.

Thanks. That last name cuts both ways. It is not easily forgotten. It is also an excellent name for certain propagandists to create a narrative around an alt-right media boogeyman. So, the real challenge is overcoming the mythology that is enabled by the propagandists. Working on it.

This forum needs more rules.

There should be an initial IQ test for new members, say a minimum of 90 points and he is a Namepro.

And bullying should only be allowed to VIPs, not just new members or established members, and only with a minimum of brilliance. (That´s why the IQ test will be necessary.)

dna · Dec 9, 2019

There is no one in Namepros with an IQ less than 90.
You obviously don't know what an IQ that low means.

What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?
