Well, it looks like the short/good tlds were either reserved or already bought. To me it's just another failed distribution model/project. How many active handshake websites are there? 99% of the domains sold seem inactive, purchased for speculative resale value.
Guess what? I'm working on my own fork with a more value-based distribution(IMO).
- capableweb 6y ago> Well, it looks like the short/good tlds were either reserved or already bought That's up to debate I guess :) I'm sure people say the same about the web/internet today, but still good domains are being created every minute, because someone is more creative than the ones before.
- themihai 6y agoThe whole point(or at least most of it) of handshake was to have a fair distribution model. It's not like handshake is the first blockchain DNS system.
- masukomi 6y agoactually... the tlds are gradually being parceled out via a seemingly random algorithm to prevent exactly the type of squatting you're complaining about. a LOT of TLDs still aren't available for purchase yet. the ones that are already in the top Alexa results were reserved for the people/companies that already owned the names in existing TLDs... again, to prevent squatting.
