>Please explain why you think this. Because without the secondary market there’d be no incentive for anyone to give up a domain. At least now the domains actually end up with parties willing to pay a fair price for them.

Oh fuck off, that’s a regular topic on HN (as is the plight of the Uyghurs). You can operate the search yourself and confirm this. What are you hinting at anyway? Just spit it out. >I’m not sure if that was intentional or not, but your c

It’d be cool if you included a disclosure when you advertise your cryptocurrency scheme.

The second hand market already solved this, why does Verisign need to be the one doing this?

The redistribution is happening every day, every day people are buying land-grab era domains they can extract value from.

Okay so the complaint is essentially “this doesn’t feel fair!”. I guess this really does come down to envy, just as another commenter pointed out. >but harms the end consumer It doesn’t though, without the second hand market someone woul

Why do anything? It’s well known that US intelligence hacks Chinese (and European!) companies, why escalate with indictments? The Chinese are perfectly capable of namedropping NSA employees too.

Essentially all the data contained in the Equifax breach has been for sale a long time before this breach, the other breached entities stayed quiet so people unfamiliar with the business tend to just assume that Equifax is to blame for ever

Yeaaah, it’s not like the US doesn’t do this https://github.com/649/EQGRP-TrickOrTreat/tree/master/pitchi... It’s ridiculous how many people here seem to think China is somehow special as far as this sor

Whats legitimate use? If I owned “doctor.com” or “lawyer.com” and used that for my unrelated low effort personal website, would that be better for everyone than a domain squatter who’s willing to sell the domain to someone who’s actually go

Is domain distribution patently unbalanced for society as a whole? What does that even mean? Should everyone be able to get a short dictionary word .com domain?

Of course ticket scalping is fine, many venues go out of their way to enable it. I’ve often benefited from the scalpers by being able to buy last minute tickets. Same goes for domain squatters. You think squatting is bad? Ok. What if my low

> The "domain squatting" meme is intellectually dishonest and based on envy Yup. Still waiting to hear a more nuanced explanation of the supposed “problem” than this.

Why is it a problem that some domains cost $100,000 or more?
830.
by ryanlol 7y ago
That doesn’t really explain the implementation. How would you know that two domains are owned by the same person without completely revamping the role of registrars?
831.
by ryanlol 7y ago
Why is it such a big problem that you have to pay more than $7 for a single word .com? Is it just that it feels unfair to you for someone to be profiting like this? I’ve been more than happy to buy domains from these squatters, they’re usua

Obscure international agricultural export dispute? I don’t know about you, but that sounds very HN to me. I’m not sure if that was intentional or not, but your choice of words (internal) seems to hint at why you might not want to see this d

It’s interesting, certainly doesn’t fall into the “ If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.”-category. Why would this not be relevant for HN?

Sketchy parsers operating on untrusted, unstructured log data. fail2ban is worse than useless.
