Let me repeat my question: > how does a web3 domain name solve the domain problem any better than just buying a domain? I don't see how you addressed that. Apparently we would need to implement whole new systems? I understand, you gotta bring try to bring it into the domain and get belligerent to obfuscate the answers to simple questions, but I don't see how this addresses my concern. > stop arguing like you are the only one aware of the current limitations and that the thousands of people working on the space Ah, ok, so this is all in theory. Simpler answer would be "it isn't, but maybe one day it is." Thanks, I read between the lines and answered my own question! > Before spewing ignorant arguments, you should learn a thing or two. Am I being blockchain negged?

> how does a web3 domain name solve the domain problem any better than just buying a domain? Was that your question? The answer is simple: once you lease (ENS only works with leases, just like traditional domain registrars, so I'll void the term "buy") a web3 domain, there is no one that can unilaterally take it away from you. > Ah, ok, so this is all in theory. Not exactly. It's possible, but impractical. If you are willing to accept the really poor UX and the lack of general adoption, you could build such a system today.

This is all in the context of someone who didn't pay their domain renewal, and so it lapsed a few weeks later. How would this system behave differently?

    This is also in the context of namecheap blocking people in Russia, not just "someone forgot to pay their renewal". Anyway, if you don't want to use ENS because they don't transfer the domain NFTs indefinitely, you might be interested on foreverdomains.io
