Can you tell us what plugins are for free for Opera browser?
"Also, a lot of company networks ( those that actually care about security) will not allow you to access them" this a good thing because they wish to buy or register Alt domains

I'm not sure. I'll share it if I can find it. Read something about it not too long ago. They will have a VPN included that supports (some) alt TLDs.

That being said, not sure if it's available, a c.o/m url looks kinda cool

As a country manager at Epik, it's your responsibility to clarify instead of asking the questions.

Right now are for reg. at Epik.com

That's okay but Epik does not say it's not a normal domain http://archive.is/sgdnv which can be called misleading in plain terms.

I don't know if other registrar ofer for registration .O

You should explain why other registrars are not offering the registration of .O (sic) and what made Epik to be the cheerleader.

Notice also already few of them sold on Namepros

Yes, saw a few listed in namepros, no comments on this.

Any idea how to be setup on/for VPN to add content ?

doesn't it sound funny, the guy propagating something is asking community members how to use it?

The names you registered are well beyond good if it works like normal domains.

Show here your registration & your opinion or any info

No, till now I am not convinced and hence not registered any.
My opinion is, stop calling anyone a troll if they ask questions.

Looks like it's just .crypto

For a quick flip, maybe mid $xx to high $xx if you're lucky.

Crypto.geek already sold namepros a good price.

https://www.namepros.com/threads/crypto-geek-exclusive-to-epik-com-geek-domain-for-sale.1183293/

Which would make my estimate of mid to high $xx for a quick flip on the best names spot on

 

[Bob Hawkes]

I don't know enough to comment on their viability as domain names or investments. Operating outside the standard DNS ecosystem, while potentially having some advantages, is also potentially fraught with serious problems. While it is easy to find fault with ICANN procedures, UDRP proceedings, etc., the incredibly short wording re, for example, how an alternative DNS space name might be taken away is worrisome.

I think that currently, with the software used by vast majority of Internet users not resolving them, the retail market will probably be very limited.

I believe that when alternate space (i.e. non directly resolvable) names are put for sale on NamePros or on other platforms like NameLiquidate, where I have seen a few listed, their should be some clear warning that they are alternative domain space names, like the main marketplaces do with IDN, for example.

This link from the OpenNIC wiki has information on some of the questions asked near the top of the thread re DNS resolvers, browser plug-ins (seems Firefox and Chrome have) to support them, etc.

I have not personally tried any of this (nor invested in any).

Hi

I concur with Bob and feel registrar should have had notice in place, prior to launching.

Also agree that NP should require such sales threads to include information about ALT domains.

imo...

 

[Rammbo]

I didn’t realize it was alt domain until I had purchased them. I registered 39

This is a clear case of intentional fraud by the registrar.

 

[Armageddon]

This is a clear case of intentional fraud by the registrar.

No is not , because after registration a email is sent with instructions
imo fraud is made by some registry like: Afillias , Neustar etc. that reserved the domains ll , lll , ccc , premium keywords after expire & they sold at high prices .
WHY ? Sunrise or Landrush was made when they are introduced.
But ICANN or other legal entities DO NOTHING . WHY ? BECAUSE THEY GREED
& affected you , me and most of us

 

[Rammbo]

I’m not gonna say all that. I’ll just say I could have researched it myself before I started buying them. If I had know they were alt domains I probably would have only bought a couple. But I have them now so I will keep them

Agreed, they are greedy, but they were transparent about what they are doing. At least they don't "after registration a email is sent with instructions" in your words.

 

[Rammbo]

And yes I got emails but I didn’t read them because I thought they were just confirmation emails that I had registered the domains. But that is my fault I didn’t read them because the email does say they are alt domains.

I am sure will be all good & tech specs will be bring to people

But that was after you purchased, Registrars should be fair enough to say that before, isn't it?

 

[Bob Hawkes]

Never having registered one, I don't know what the email sent says, but agree there should be some indication that they are an alternative domain space prior to registration, which as far as I can see there is not as of today. If the email provides an option to delete without cost penalty, then while less satisfactory, to me that is perhaps adequate.

While I agree that each of us should research before any acquisition, I also think those selling, either as registrations or in aftermarket, should make the nature clear.

In the terms of use of .o, which has been around a few years, it says this (I added bolding):

"Abuse
mTLD will not tolerate the following behavior, and use of our domains for any of the following is grounds for termination: * - Domain squatting - Spam email delivery - Malware distribution - Malicious interference with computer systems"​

Without, as far as I can see, defining what squatting is in their opinion. While the proper legal definition of squatting is narrow involving names that infringe on those with use or registration intellectual property rights, many domain investor critics use the term as essentially holding a domain name you do not plan to use. Has anyone found any elaboration on the meaning in the OpenNIC system?

.O is a VPN domain, and can only be accessed through a personal server. or a .Bit extention on Google, FireFox ec.. They are exactly like .coin, .bit, .geek, etc..... They are good for those who want more privacy and protection for their websites. And are currently Non-Icann approved.
