Here's the discussion thread about registration to expiry prices: https://discuss.ens.domains/t/ep5-executable-set-the-temporary-premium-start-price-to-100-000/9336 https://discuss.ens.domains/t/ep5-executable-set-the-tempora... > Curiosity !== "you need to sift through mounds of shit in the hopes to find 'little glimmers spread across lots of projects'" To me this sounds like a fair description of curiosity! Reminds me of hacking with Arduino or something too. I have fun with it, anyway.

"Join the Discords and sift through the to find the little glimmers!" ... "Here's a link to ... a Discourse instance". So which is it? Join Discords? Or forums? Or?... > To me this sounds like a fair description of curiosity! It isn't. Bullshit is finite. Life is finite. There are so many things to satisfy one's curiosity that don't involve digging through bullshit. The main reason you have to "just google it" to find any coherent info on crypto projects is that when you boil everything down to a single-page coherent description of what it is they are trying to do, it turns out it's just bullshit. That's why all these projects, consciously or not, never produce anything that someone can point to and say: go, read this. Almost invariably it's "just find it on Discord". A great example is in a sibling discussion mentioning Orange DAO: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30133241 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30133241 Even your example literally has nothing of value in that discussion. Original problem statement: "Now they are grappling with how to update registration prices when domains expire". There's literally no grappling in there. A regular community discussion with a voting mechanism that is happening hundreds of thousands of times a day all around the world. This is interesting? How?!

  Re: grappling with how to update registration prices after an ENS domain expires -- Different stakeholders want the expiration auctions to work differently. For starters, there are the Devs, ENS owners, ENS users, domain speculators, token speculators, ENS newbies, and more. Normally this would just be "devs and community", i.e. "we listened to the community and took suggestions". But with ENS anyone can own tokens and vote on what actually happens to the protocol. There's discussions happening on Discord, in the forum, and twitter to figure out what to do. Then there's another layer where token owners choose delegates and those delegates vote. It's exciting to see this kind of structure come together, where the friction is, and what ultimately gets built. It's unlikely this specific DAO will succeed, but part of it will work and the model will improve. Imagine a world where this works and all stakeholders play a role in how Twitter, Spotify, or even HackerNews change. Super interesting to me. Understand that the docs and UI for all of this needs a lot of work so that others can join in.
