If park.io hadn't bought it, someone else would have. So how does the park.io client deserve it any more than that person?

- csallen 10y agoDepends on your definition of "deserve". With domain names, the system is pretty clearly first-come, first-served. If Park.io didn't get domain name X, then the next fastest person would get it, and so forth. Many other systems are similar: renting apartments, claiming land, patents, trademarks, etc. Obviously, first-come, first-served doesn't ensure that a resource goes to the people who would use it "best". But what system does? Park.io gives the average person an actual chance to win the race for a .io domain -- a chance they otherwise probably wouldn't have -- so I'd rather live in a world with Park.io than without it.
