What would be a great name for a global network of cool domainer-friendly co-working spaces?

Last weekend, I introduced the idea of a "Domain Dojo" or a Domainer-friendly co-working space. Since then we received a number of domain submissions for possible use as brand names for this innovative concept that is currently in the planning stage as part of a larger expansion plan that centers on co-creation.

The basic premise here is that full-time domainers can live almost anywhere. The inherent nature of the industry is that in many ways it can be highly liberating in terms of work location. And yet most domainers are probably living in the same city or town they were living in before they became a domain investor.

In the meantime, there are places in the world where Digital Nomads have become highly productive. You can find entire directories but here is a typical Dojo in a beach community in Indonesia:


There are a growing number of so-called Dojos, that combine community, lodging, dining, and co-working, often strategically placed near beaches and typically with low operating costs.

There are a staggering number of beautiful places in the world with great Internet service, so why be tied down if you don't need to be. I am personally quite fond of Las Palmas in Gran Canarias, in North Africa, a popular destination for Digital Nomads. Others are fond of places like Ubud, Seychelles, Mauritius, Gozo, etc.

For those of us who regularly attend domain conferences like NamesCon, there is clearly a vibrant domain community. However, this is just once per year. So the thinking of this project is to establish a network of Dojos, where domainers can meet, cooperate, learn from each other, and co-create abundance.

As I know a growing number of people in the industry, and know their respective strengths and capabilities, I see opportunities every day to connect dots and help make things happen that might otherwise not happen. Given the right environment, we could all be doing a lot more of that, online and offline. That's the idea.

With that as context, please help select a domain that would fit the Domainer Dojo Lifestyle!

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
VirtualDiscourse.com would have been cool too!

If Domunity, I would need to have Dommunity as well.

For Collab, I would def. go for an extra mile and acquire Collabs org ... brand protection.

You need to gather all your suggestions and post all of them in the end in one single post. Regging domains every other hour and posting about it every now and then shows your desperation. Dont be desperate, be patient. Patience is the key to success while desperation is irritating.

Well Wali . That makes sense . I feel people felt offended, but this is my last post at this thread. Overall idea was to keep finding names and seeking others feedback .

But I feel it went a spammy way . I am going to signoff from this thread.

Also would like to thanks Rob for his patience over the thread and PM's . I always got his responses for my PM .

Nice idea @Rob Monster
I spent one full month two years ago in Ubud, Bali, in a coworking space called Hubud, and also a couple of weeks last year in Sanur area, also in Bali, in another coworking space (I had the chance to meet @franka46 there)

It's a great experience to work in these places with likeminded people that are also working remotely and, at the same time, enjoying life in a different country.

I would work better in an extremely empty prison cell. For real. If I was there the last thing I would be doing is working.

You got the right idea. Ubud is what inspired me with this concept. I don't know about the ETA, but I know that as we get the cashflow engines firing at full power, we'll be investing back in projects that make the pie bigger and teach more people to be successful participants in the Digital Economy. We have a free eBook out now. I can't link to it, because that would be promotional so you will have to find the free eBook. It is just an example of how we can efficiently give back. Sponsored Dojos are a more complicated undertaking but I see it on the horizon which is why I wanted to secure a domain for it.

There's a pre-paid (load & go) gift (credit) card program. You can use a card at more places and access special local offers, loyalty points and rewards (restaurants, shops, festivals, events, etc) .. etc. You can order your own print and in the same time include sponsor/s ads, graphics, logo, message etc. (f.e. worldpay).

Well, folks, here comes the curveball. The winner is:

TokiVille.com

Yes, it is a dark horse and one I registered after the poll started. You deserve an explanation, and also the folks who had submitted one or candidates also deserve a reward.

So, why TokiVille?

As many of you know, Epik has been incubating a decentralized search engine called Toki.com. Some of you know that we have been developing a Toki Server. What is a Toki server? It is a decentralized internet hub -- basically a locally hosted internet access point that powers content, community and commerce at a local level, while also providing power-efficient and bandwidth-efficient internet access.

Concurrent with developing the Toki.com search engine and the Toki Server technology, we have also started the process of recruiting local Mayors to work as Digital Empowerment champions in local communities under the direction of Country Managers and Brand Ambassadors where each major region has 1 Brand Ambassador and who helps onboard and empower Mayors.

So, why will Mayors do this work? For one thing there is some prestige because the Mayor is basically empowered to turn off people's internet access. Of course people can also boycott the Mayor's Toki. So, this is the check and balance needed for local accountability. The Mayors have an incentive to provide power, bandwidth, storage and uplink because doing so earns them .... TOKI, a proprietary crypto.

What can you do with Toki? Well, right now, nothing. However, if a Toki Server has 10 or more active users, who agree to transact in Toki, they can become a TokiVille. And now you have a pop-up community that can advertise its amenities on Tokiville.com so that people who want community and other amenities with their free bandwidth, they can find a Tokiville that fits their needs.

It is a bit ironic that we were calling these Toki server owners "Mayors" long before we conceived the name TokiVille. You can call that coincidence. I call it providence. There was an underlying vision for decentralized local governance with network-wide interoperability. When Masterbucks 2.0 comes online in early 2020, it will let you redeem Toki.

Right now, although the servers still look a little rough, they are tiny powerhouses, a little bigger than a deck of cards, and can serve 500 people with Internet concurrently while they run a suite of local applications, and capable of enduring extreme heat of summer in equatorial climates. We are still working on the software for WiFi mesh and bandwidth-efficient data communication.

upload_2019-11-25_20-16-35.png


The other thing that has started is the recruitment of Digital Librarians. The first one will likely start next month in Nigeria, responsible for compiling the master directory of knowledge that can be stored on a local Toki server on a 32 GB SD card as a sort of knowledge base that Toki searches even if there is no uplink. The Toki server can optionally connect to an external Network Attached Storage via USB 3.0.

As for the TokiVille.com site, the design work has begun. The concept there is to create a sort of CouchSurfing user experience for Mayors to promote their venues as destinations. The technology to do is also designed to be decentralized based on the so-called Fediverse.

If we do this right, then at a TokiVille, you will be able to buy and sell products and services. You will have the option of settling a bill in Toki instantly -- no waiting 6 confirmations for your transaction to clear as with BTC. You can also take your Toki with you, or deposit it at Masterbucks.com as a cloud wallet and cloud exchange.

Does Toki sound crazy? It might be. We are working on it anyway. It is good news for domainers, because we'll mostly use standard domains across a private Quantum-resistant VPN that runs over our own BGP, ASN, DNS with DNSSEC, SSL from DNEncrypt, and our CDN and DDoS mitigation. The $60 servers can run for more than 24 hours at full tilt using a $20 on-board battery array.

What about our poll contestants? I have good news. If you were a finalist in our poll, PM me your Epik email address to collect $100 to your Epik account balance as a thank you for co-creating. It was this poll that inspired the decision to tinker around the edges of the Dojo concept and connect the dot to the Toki project that is intended as a decentralized network that empowers massive co-creating abundance.

Feedback welcome!

You should redirect $100 (12x $8) to those who just-hand-registered (in November / @ Epik) keyword+villa and dojo+keyword and dn+keyword domain names in the hope of selling them to you. (Burning hairy fingers on the keys V I L A D N O J C M)

Brand selection poll ?
Seems like Toki was always going to be the name. #shameful

That was not the plan, I can assure you. The whole Dojo concept was an after-thought. It happened to converge with the Toki project. That was more providence than planning, I can assure you. I wish I was that smart, but I have to give credit where credit is due. If you ask Epik staff about it, I am sure they will tell you the same. I was leaning very hard towards Dojoville.com until I connected the dots.

As for your judgmental nonsense, "shameful" would be if we did not buy something. Are you giving to give @frank-germany a hard time about running a poll with no winner getting paid out of his names for a marketplace? I bet you won't. Feel free to explain further why you think we have been anything but 100% honorable in selecting a brand. Was there some promise ever made to you or anyone else to the contrary?
