Both systems are arbitrary, but only the auction system provides for multiple people to contest the same domain.
There’s no decentralized method to prevent scalping. Scalping can happen whether it’s first-come-first-serve or auction.
- SilverRed 5y agoRight now you can not easily scalp the current domain system. If I wanted to buy a domain, I can check which ones are free and buy it immediately. No one could know I wanted that domain before I had already reserved it for myself. But if I had to trigger an auction for the domain. That is broadcasting to the world "Hey, someone wants this domain. Go buy it and resell it to them"
