what a terrible name.

I was surprised it was taken in 22 extensions. There is a developed website at Debounce.io they own the .org too as it redirects to the .io.

I see. For that company, DeBounce, the name actually makes a lot of sense.

Don't let bounce, disposable, spam-trap and deactivated emails decrease your sending reputation, waste your time and money. 30% of emails go bad in just one year. If over 10% of your emails are bad, then less than 44% are delivered. Use a bulk email verification tool to eliminate any bad emails.

scary

Debounce is a common programming term.

4000 results on github.

The .io guys are using for an email validation service to stop emails bouncing which makes sense as a brandable.

In summary, ensure you consult alcy prior to any domain acquisitions.

Another thing. Has it ever been researched whether domain sales via sites such as CryptoExchange yield more, compared to the usual domain marketplace platforms, simply because there is a lot of money involved and available in the crypto scene?

That's what I thought when I saw it sold, programming. It will be interesting to see who bought it, I don't think the .io peeps would pay that much, the .io works for them.

My guess would be yes especially if they accept crypto payments. I’m on mobile and can’t be bothered checking

It was mine for about two months and I had full control over it before someone from 'old Epik' decided to 'promptly' take it back. There were even a couple of leads on Afternic at the time, lol.

Wow... You have a legal case that's now worth pursuing because of the $$$ involved.

It's basically the same story as described by @bmugford in this thread:

This is exactly why I'm now deeply involved in the GoDaddy disappearing domains issue—to ensure registrants don't face this problem again. While GoDaddy’s intentions may likely differ from Epik's, the outcome of disappearing domain assets from customer accounts is very similar and can have significant consequences.

Because of this? Between stealing the proceeds of sales made through their 'escrow service' and then trying to settle by offering me 5%, I think this is the least of the offenses.

Just out of curiosity, and only if you're comfortable sharing, how much did you pay for the domain at the time?
