Oh dear, First buying binge in over 20 years. hand regs

Couldn't help myself, Now I've done it, I'm well into my physics and the nature of matter. So this morning I went a bit overboard, around 30 domains in total, A lot of my first choices had been taken but that still left a lot of .coms (and a couple of .orgs) for me. I know I'll sleep better now I've done it, that is until renewal time. Commercial value is possibly there. With a BIG If

I blame New Scientist for all my troubles :)

They were the xyz at a penny per..

Nah, thought about it at the time. Didn't bother as I really, really don't like the extension.

Missed opportunity? Who knows.

That's domaining 101. You win some, you loose some.

Handregged only 1 .com this year, started receiving inquiries the following week. There's value to be discovered but it is not an easy game. I've burned thousands $$$ in my early days with "meta" hand regs.

Last week I hand-registered close to 1,000 .COMs :)
I don't think I have ever registered that many .COMs in 24 hours.
Let me guess. Most of these newly registered D.names relate to, say, artificial intelligence (AI), inflation, crypto-currency, or the demands that the AI trend shall create, e.g., enormous demand for electrical power or enormous demand for data centers to house all of those AI servers and AI networks.

Am I right? Or not even in the ballpark? Please let us know.

Thanks for the guess-work paulbain

But, Nope not even close. Whilst I'm interested in all areas of physics I'm more interested in the area of dimensions and theoretical physics. So this would include Time and wave propagation.

I enjoy writing down my own formula and fairly simple modelling. I think there is so much to be gained by enhancing our current understanding of dimensions. Forget the additional Supposed dimensions. String-theory alone gave-up when it reached 12 imaginary dimensions (they were all required) So Lets stick to, and disseminate those that we are familiar with to gain a better understanding of Reality, think I.

Now comes the bloody hard part, Business application and advantage. There's a lot to be gained in advancements in theoretical physics and there is a good foundation for the work being currently done. The obvious are in materials science but I'm particularly interested in the perplexity of time itself.

This is nothing new to me, by the way. I've always been interested in the modelling aspect to complex problems and have used it on a daily basis in the workplace. The more complex the problem (With many solutions) the more it lends itself to this area of thought.

Obviously this type of problem-solving does require a fairly good insight of everything that has gone before. OR should I say those "what have I missed" moments, Then you get to look at so much more. It's a real thrill I can tell you. Though I'm not overly comfortable that I have decided to merge this thinking with domains as such. But, I'm willing to experiment.

As I have mentioned, I'm quite surprised how many of my first choice domains were already registered, Many by science foundations but quite a few by recognised institutions with solid business interests. I'm glad I've taken the plunge. I'm fully expecting to retain just twelve to 15 by the end of the year. AI modelling does play its part without a doubt so much so that I thought it best to jump in now

Hmm sounds like you went down the Terrence Howard rabbit hole. I'm just now returning to the surface. :xf.laugh:

Well first of all, thanks for the heads-up on this guy. And yes like many so called modelling physics he's just doing what most of us do, That is taking our own limited knowledge and building explanatory concepts.

I've only just taken this route (or should I say Outlet) of combining modern physics concepts to domains. Combining the two has been a quite interesting exercise. You can't just take the theoretical* belief and turn (shorten) it into a domain. The potential acceptance as a domain and yet still retain its intended focus has been a fun exercise, but I've found it can be done.

Of course, more interesting is am I exploring an area of commercial interest or just playing around. I wouldn't like to call that one just yet. In these days of hard to find general domain availability I'd like to think I have the mindset required to at least explore the combination.

I've taken the time to work with recognised/common terminology and avoided any reference to Quantum concepts or advancement but to at least try to see things as they become applicable to everyday understanding.

* I've played loose with the term 'Theoretical' Which of course requires both a mathematical model as well as support of your qualified peers. Which I may say always brings me to the conclusion, that the Australian proponent of String-Theory was a darn good salesman with very some high ranking friends. Thankfully its now dropped off the hot topic list and not even warm.

I did the same thing in 2000. I gambled on WAP phones being a huge hit, and registered a stack of WAP names. WAP didn't become a hit, and none of the names sold!

20 years ago you wouldn't have said "hand register", back in those days we simply "registered"! Personally I don't get the "hand register" thing, and it actually bugs me a bit, but one has to move with the times I suppose!

I am curious to find out what other method (s) exists for registering domain names other than "by hand", which I assume means typing out a name at your registrar and searching for it. Then registering it if it available and you want to go ahead.

I have never acquired any name I own in any other method than "by hand", as I am simply unaware of any other methods.

I see the references to "hand regs" all the time on this forum, but I have never ever seen any alternatives mentioned in the same postings, by anyone.
