UNSCUFFED @unstoppableweb Education!! Let's talk TLD's
Recorded: Oct. 26, 2023 Duration: 1:13:10Space Recording
Full Transcription
All right. Hey, guys. How are you? Welcome, welcome.
We'll start retweeting the space. Sorry, I was posting things in some chat rooms.
Try to invite some more people into the space, and we'll start talking about some TLDs today.
Let's see here. All right. Who do we have with us already?
Who's behind the Unstoppable account today? Is that Adrian?
Yes, sir. How's it going, man?
How are you, Adrian? You doing all right, brother?
Yeah, how about yourself?
Adrian, are you with us?
Yeah, can you hear me?
Fireball? Okay, Fireball, is that me, or is that him?
I can hear you pretty clear. I can hear both of you all right.
Okay.
Well, it's a little bit fuzzy.
Okay, Fireball, you sound like you're rugged.
Uh-oh.
Fireball, you sound like a robot, bro.
And you, can you hear me? Or am I also sounding kind of weird?
All right, give me a minute, Flex, because I shouldn't be in a bad spot.
Now, okay, you're fine. You're fine now.
All right.
Okay, you're fine now. Now, let me go to Adrian.
Adrian, hey.
Oh, man.
Yeah, can you hear me?
Okay, I heard you that time, Adrian.
All right, cool.
But your mic isn't going on and off, right?
No, mine's been on the whole time.
Okay. All right, yeah. Now I can hear you just fine.
And then let's go to Fireball one more time.
Fireball, how are you, bro?
Doing well. Yourself?
Doing good, doing good.
Okay, it looks like we have some better connection now.
All right. All right.
Yeah, guys, let's retweet the space.
Let's get some more people in here.
Invite some speakers up, please.
I would love to hear from CoachRays.NFT.
I'd like to hear what you're building on that NFT platform.
Coinguzzler, I see you got a .blockchain there.
I'd like to see what you're building.
Same with Virtual.
Jester, virtually, on a .x.
Yeah, just important stuff to see what you guys are building
around your domains and around these platforms.
So, Fireball, let's go ahead and we'll start with you.
I invited you up to co-host today yourself
because you're interested in learning more
about this unstoppable side of things, right?
And as big of an ENS, or just for most of the room to know,
Fireball is a huge ENS-er, but, of course,
he always tells me to zoom out, right?
Like, we talk IRL.
He tells me to zoom out.
And when I zoom out, you know, I do see a lot of use case scenario
for these other TLDs.
And, you know, there are some that are on unstoppable
and some that may not be.
I mean, I'm a big fan of .art.
I'm a big fan of .x in the Twitter space.
Like, if you have an NFT project, .nft, I think, is great.
You know, maybe if you're a shitcoiner, .crypto or something,
you know, like, so there's viability and use case scenarios
for each one of them.
And I'd just like to see what your viewpoint is there, Fireball.
How do you feel about, you know,
just utilizing different domains for different purposes?
I love it.
I mean, I think you have to, right, if you're going to be in this.
I mean, you know, to summarize a lot of yours quickly,
I mean, I first learned about domaining in 1998.
And believe it or not, this is the worst.
In 1998, I felt I was too late to be a domainer, right?
But nevertheless, so when Web3 came around,
I was like, okay, I knew what this is.
And I knew what blockchain and, you know, Web3 was.
So I'm like, okay, this makes a lot of sense.
And so when I got into Web3 domains,
I also simultaneously said, well,
I might as well buy a bunch of, you know, DNS domains,
you know, in blockchain and emerging technology terms.
So as I began my research, and this is a few years ago,
I said, okay, I looked at the TLDs.
And of course, I understood, you know, .com, .net, .org,
like how all that stuff.
But I did look at, you know, other Web3 domains as well,
and eventually learned about ENS.
And I became quite familiar with Unstoppable.
To be honest with you, it was really a very,
I didn't think about it a whole lot,
but when I made my decision in early 2021,
which TLD I was going to go with
is my primary focus for Web3 domains,
really the deciding factor that sent me to ENS was
I thought the .eth extension was kind of smooth and cool.
And at the time, I think, you know,
the biggest TLD Unstoppable was advertising was .crypto.
And I had a little bit of a concern
because I'm like, eh, some people, you know,
I'm like, they have a negative connotation of crypto.
And, you know, I'm thinking much more broadly.
So that's the reason I went the direction I did.
But I think if you're going to be in this space,
it's very prudent to understand the different TLDs
across all platforms, you know,
what their value proposition is to the user,
to the investor, the time horizon,
the technology behind it.
So, yeah, I mean, this is clearly an evolving landscape.
And I think being aware of everything that's going on,
I mean, we're really just talking about
naming on the internet, right?
I think knowing as much as you can about all the TLDs,
what they offer, pros and cons,
it makes a lot of sense.
So glad you're running this.
Glad to be here.
Thank you, Unstoppable.
And I see a lot of friendly faces in the crowd
and looking forward to hearing some good feedback.
Yeah, 100%.
Uncle Nate came up and we got some really good feedback
with other domains, you know,
and different use case scenarios yesterday
in one of the spaces.
So, Uncle Nate, how do you feel about
different use case scenarios for the different TLDs?
For the different ICANN TLDs
or the different Unstoppable TLDs?
You got me cracking up.
You got me cracking up.
I have, I mean, all of us.
You're a web tourer.
If you're talking to me, right?
You know.
Yeah, guys, a little bit of background there.
Sorry.
I come in here thinking that, you know,
a lot of people, maybe I think that's a better introduction.
Uncle Nate, he's been around for a while
and he's really big into dot-coms.
So that's kind of, you know,
where I learned about him with him and Ishmaelie.
Like, so, yeah, so let's talk about that.
Let's talk about bridging that gap
between the Web 2 and the Web 3 domains.
Like, what are the use case scenarios
and what are the benefits or maybe the...
Am I rugging or are you rugging?
I think that was Flexer
because it was fuzzy on my end too.
Okay.
Why don't you take it, Uncle Nate?
Yeah, no, I, you know,
we've talked about this a bunch.
You know, in my background,
I've helped to design a supply chain,
blockchain-based supply chain system
for an entire country.
So I've been thinking about this for a long time, right?
And, you know, ENS comes along
or Web 3 domaining comes along.
And now there's, you know, great,
there's a way to tether objects
to the blockchain easily
because I'm using the usability factor
or form, rather, of namespaces, right?
Like, namespaces aren't new.
DNS or, you know, ICANN didn't invent namespaces
or hierarchical deterministic structures.
I mean, it's existed for quite a long time.
It's just, you know,
how we embrace them and adopted them
and express them on the internet,
you know, that pattern, right?
So, you know, as name services proliferate
and in Web 3, you know,
we have more options,
you know, the ecosystem, I believe,
will fill in around that.
You know, where the gaps emerge,
those are business opportunities
or, you know, opportunities
to develop solutions for interoperability,
for integration.
You know, I see a lot of situations
where different chains are good
at different things
and using naming services
that allow you to express a right
or ownership of an object
or provenance of an object
or, you know, whatever it might be
in a common way,
you know, in a namespace,
but have that namespace resolve
to different addresses
on different blockchains.
I mean, these are all things
that are valuable across,
you know, the space.
It's not just limited
to one name service or the other,
but one of the things
that's interesting to me
about Unstoppable
is the way they sort of
leverage namespaces
and, you know, start with the idea
of building some kind of value
or business on top of it
versus necessarily just,
you know, providing a name
that you would speculate on.
I mean, names are identities, right?
So that's one thing
that's common across
all those kind of environments.
So, and like I said,
I come from a view
of supply chain provenance
and looking at Web3 naming
in namespaces like components
of an intelligent packaging system,
if you're familiar
with that concept,
which is common
in certain areas
of manufacturing
and distribution
and supply chain.
But imagine like,
there's one company
I worked with
that had a really
interesting technology
where they had
basically a vacuum form
that you would put
medications into
and then you would cover
those medications over
with a foil
that had a trace in it
that when you broke the trace,
you knew that the thing
had been opened, right?
Now, this is for medications
and for medication adherence
and tracking
and it wasn't necessarily
so that you knew
the person ingested the thing.
But if you know
a package has been opened
and the pharmaceuticals
have been taken out,
there's, you know,
a very, very good chance
that it's been taken.
Certainly better than 50-50,
like maybe they took it,
maybe they didn't, right?
So being able
to address endpoints
in a system like that
in a namespace,
I'm not saying necessarily
a public namespace,
but in a namespace
where people can understand it
and machines can understand it
and there's multiple
different constituencies
that can use
that same information
in that same structure.
I mean, those are the kind of things
that I get really interested about.
So, and, you know,
from the conversations
I've had with folks
at Unstoppable
like Sandy,
I mean, you know,
I see that's a direction
certainly,
not that specific thing,
but, you know,
just the providing
the underlying infrastructure
behind people
that want to build businesses
on with those kind of ideas, right?
that's my,
that's my impression.
All right.
No, that all makes sense, man.
That all makes complete sense.
Now, .x came up.
why did you choose
that particular TLD
if you don't mind me asking?
Fireball,
can you hear me, bro?
I can hear you,
but I'm not hearing anyone else.
Yeah, I can hear you too.
Your mic's good?
Yeah, I'm showing that .x is muted.
It has a muted microphone.
So, .x, if you can hear,
check your microphone.
All right,
that looks like he's going back down.
Looks like he's going back down.
Okay, ENS Poker,
you've come up.
How are you today, brother?
All well.
How are you, Flexster?
Doing good, man.
Doing good.
Just over here.
Okay, wait a minute.
Hold on just a second there.
We've got .x coming back up.
I'm trying to get him up.
I really am interested in this domain.
You with us, .x?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's up, guys?
Thank you, man.
Thank you for inviting me to speak.
What's up, people?
What's up, domainers?
How you guys doing?
Oh, chilling, man.
Chilling.
I'm glad that you came up
that we could talk to you, man,
because I'm interested
in that .x name there.
Now, do you own some Unstoppables
that are .x Unstoppables?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I definitely do.
Right on.
And why did you choose
that particular one?
Oh, it's the shortest, you know?
Okay, so you like the length,
just the shortest, right?
Yeah, man, the shortest.
Easiest to memorize, bro.
How do you disagree with that?
You can't.
How can you say no to that, right?
It's a solid statement.
It's the easiest to type in.
That's it.
Easy to remember.
It's the same thing on the phones, right?
People used to pick that 1-800.
People used to pay money for that,
to have the 1-800.
It's the same thing.
So what's your favorite domain
out of all of your .xs?
My favorite domain?
Yeah.
Man, all of them, you know?
That's where the money's at.
Okay.
I got to treat them equally.
Right on.
Yeah, that's how it is.
I got to treat all of them equally
because all of them are good domains.
Okay.
How long have you been in the space for?
Probably since day one.
Yeah.
And one of my favorite domains
that used to be mine
is the one I gave to Captain DatBitcoin.
I get that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's one of my favorite domains.
The one that I probably give away to the people.
What does day one mean for you?
Were you here back when it was only .crypto or .zill?
Or were you here back in like 20?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was there when it was only .crypto and .zill.
Oh, nice.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bro, I was since where the devs on Discord used to talk by themselves.
Mm-hmm.
That's since day one.
Literally right there.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's pretty early.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The same thing with ENS.
I was also in ENS early.
Unfortunately, I wasn't early for .com.
But, yeah.
Does anybody else listening have any questions for Unstoppable
or the .eath community or want to talk to all these?
Just feel free to raise your hand.
Oh, what do you guys think about?
What do you guys think about?
One of my questions is what do you guys think about the latest video
that we have from one of our community members?
I want to call him like that.
That is Brad.
That he's pushing cooperation and integration.
What do you guys think about it?
Like, do you guys feel like, no, I don't want to surrender to ICANN?
Or do you think, like, it's important for all the community to progress?
Could you rephrase that again?
Yeah, can you rephrase the question?
So, what do you say, like, surrender to ICANN?
What exactly are you going to say?
Brad, the co-founder of Unstoppable Domains,
recently was on a general meeting of ICANN.
And he was presenting the product and also some solutions.
And he spoke about integration and cooperation with Web2
so we can solidify the future of this technology.
But he was speaking in general, not just on stopover domains.
What do you guys think about that?
Yeah, I think as things go forward, a lot of industries are going to collide.
But as for that, I don't have any real details right now.
Yeah, I think that, like, I started listening to the recording today.
I only got maybe 15 minutes in.
But, you know, there's an important point that's made about, you know, individual identity.
It's like, and that's why I always hate to, I hesitate to use the word Web3 domains
because you don't even need to use it as a domain, right?
You can use it simply as a naming convention for your own personal wallet.
And now people are talking about use cases for AI and things like that.
I mean, again, we're just talking, Web2, Web3, we're talking about naming on the Internet.
And, I mean, it's a complex subject.
And I think the reality is for a lot of people, you know, they're going to need to be multiple answers.
So, look, personally, I am a huge proponent of decentralization.
It's very important to me, like, you know, the goat that eats, right?
You know, my primary identity.
I mean, I don't know, a schedule or register, at least 29 years or so.
And I know Unstoppable has a different model where you own it, and I like that.
But the decentralization is important to me.
Now, at the same time, I recognize that, I mean, it's not necessarily important to the entire world.
And there's, like, most commerce goes through centralized channels.
And, again, you're still going to have a need to name things on the Internet.
And different people are going to, you know, like you, someone said earlier, you know, different TLDs are going to resonate with others.
And there's going to have to be collaboration.
It's not like, you know, you flip the switch and one day, okay, we're over to Web3 and everything's Web3 named.
And so I think outreach and collaboration is necessary because most of the world isn't going to understand what's going on, and they're not going to care.
But I understand that there are sides with principles where they probably aren't going to, you know, bend much on.
But we have to have discussions.
So I think that, you know, the fact that Brad was there and he was speaking is a positive move in the right direction.
100%.
And I think as the space grows and as time goes on, more and more people will flock to their favorite TLDs and kind of continue to form clubs around them.
And the clubs right now will just continue to grow, and it'll get out from there.
Because Web3 is a lot more personalized than Web2.
People feel a lot more connected to their identity.
Because Web2 is more just like one demand, one business.
Whereas Web3, you can have as many domains as you want for one person or for your friends or for your family.
And it's very easy to get more than one.
I also think a lot of times...
Go ahead, go ahead.
No, I was just going to say, I think a lot of times, too, people sort of conflate domains and domain names
with, quote-unquote, Web2 or Web3.
Like I was saying before, I mean, it's something that's existed since long before the Internet
as a form of categorization and classification.
And, you know, it's DNS existed before the Web existed.
You know, DNS, ICANN, that whole infrastructure before ICANN existed,
existed as pretty much a company that was paid by the U.S. government to operate a name service.
So to suggest that it's centralized is kind of foolish.
You know, it's ridiculous, actually, because it's not centralized at all.
There's actually a very deep and wide governance organization.
And it's not like someone, one person sits down and makes all the decisions, right?
It's actually done by consensus and voting and process.
So when I think part of the challenge in, quote-unquote, Web3 and blockchain and this whole world
is this concept that decentralization is so great, it's the only thing, right?
And as a matter of fact, it's not.
You definitely don't want to create systems.
And I don't mean technology, necessarily.
I'm talking about systems, right?
Like, your body is a system.
And the chair you might be sitting on or the phone you might be engaging in this conversation on is a system, right?
So, you know, the name services on the Internet are systems that do have to interoperate, right?
And all of the systems that exist in Web3 rely on DNS, stop, no, you know, go no further.
If DNS didn't exist, then the Internet wouldn't work, right?
So I think it's important to have a bit more pragmatic view.
And I'm not trying to shut down, you know, people's opinions or arguments.
I have my own, and this is it, right?
But I think it's important to have the rational view that systems are a balance of hierarchy or decentralization, right?
There's a balance that you have to strike for every system to be optimized.
Some systems can be biased more in one way or the other, but it really doesn't work if you have something that's completely decentralized.
And it really doesn't work if you have something that's completely centralized either, right?
So I think that's an important thing to remember when asking these kind of questions, like who's going to be the winner?
What's going to work out, right?
Because it's all a community across all of these things.
It's all run by people, and people make decisions.
Even when we try to make the decisions, you know, wrap the decisions in a DAO, right?
I think we all can come up with fine examples of where DAOs really don't behave the way they purport they're going to behave.
So, yeah, I mean, that's kind of my take on it.
No, that's insightful, man.
I mean, that makes sense.
That makes sense.
Okay, guys.
Well, I mean, I'd like for some more speakers to come up, and I kind of want to hear what you're trying to build on your domains, or if you're just trying to flip them.
I mean, if it's a flip thing, then you want to maybe try to shill something.
Let's see what your shilling skills are.
I don't have much shilling skills, but I did want to tell y'all about a tool that I use to get to this space.
Flexster, you always say you want to be the number one host on the spaces platform or X platform.
So there's this tool called Super Spaces.
Have you heard of it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're familiar with that.
Oh, very nice.
All right.
Well, that was the first time I used it.
But I typed in your name, Flexster, and you're ranked pretty good.
And then I clicked on you, and then it took me straight to this space right on time and everything.
So it was pretty cool.
Yeah, now, 1W3 got with Brantley and partnered up with Brantley for this follow PR.
You're cutting now.
Flex, you're robotting.
Yeah, your connection was glitching for a little bit, Flexster.
Yeah, ENS Poker, you want to tell a little bit about what you're doing on 1W3 real quick?
As far as ENS Poker, so I bought ENS Poker.Eth probably about a week ago.
So we're just onboarding people to ENS Poker.
It's a club.
Right now, we're starting on the Poker 2 app.
And if you click on the ENS Poker Twitter page, you can, on the pin post, you can onboard there with a quick three-step process.
Or you could go to ENSPoker.Eth.Limo, and there's a quick three-step process.
But we're just in the building stages.
And so me and E-Vibe actually just got done playing game five, heads up, maxi for maxi.
So I had to go sweep the floor so I could get some of these floor maxis.
Maybe I can get some of y'all to play me for a floor maxi.
So, but yeah, no, we don't have nothing really built too big right now.
But we're just taking it one brick at a time.
So along those lines, if I could ask Unstoppable a question, all right.
So, you know, we see a lot in, I mean, well, all the meaning, right, definitely ENS.
We're starting to see building, but a lot of speculation, right?
Obviously, you guys have a very different pricing model.
I think it's intended to be permanent.
It kind of, you know, deters speculation just because, you know, the upfront capital cost is a lot higher.
You don't have the same opportunity of, you know, finding a, you know, a grail domain that nobody's recognized and whatnot.
So when you, when you observe the buyers that are coming to your websites, do you have any sort of analysis around, like, how many of them are shopping for a primary wallet?
How many of them are speculators?
How many are, you know, buying a bunch?
How many are building upon what they're doing?
And do you have any data on that and any insight into kind of where you guys are going in the future in terms of the buyers you're attracting and how you see that revenue coming in?
Regarding exact site data, I wouldn't be the best person to ask just, like, just because right off the top of my head, I don't have, like, the exact metrics on how many, how many searches we get a month, how many reverse resolutions people set for their domains every month.
That would be a better question for Matt or somebody on the executive team.
And then what was your other question on pricing?
I think that was, like, a two-part question.
Well, so, okay, I guess maybe I'm a little spoiled, you know, because maybe I got to ENS early enough and whatever, but, you know, I'm used to the fact that, okay, okay, if you're buying, if you're investing, let's say, not for your primary or business use, but if you're investing in Web3 domains, right, it's a speculative investor, regardless of the TLD, regardless of what you're doing.
So, investors are going to want to, you know, be able to realize, you know, a substantial ROI on those investments.
Now, it seems that when, and I was just poking around, like, on pricing on the website, you guys understand what's a valuable domain and what's not, right?
And that's already baked into the price.
So, in my kind of assessment, it kind of defers that early speculator.
It rather encourages the end user.
Which is fine, but, I mean, is that the model?
Is that the goal?
Right?
Because I just looked up my money, for example.
It's like, it was a couple thousand dollars.
Now, you know, okay, I mean, if I was to use that or she was going to be using that as a primary, it's worth a penny.
But as a speculator, it takes away margins.
So, it seems like the cost model is trying to detract from that, but is that the reality?
I mean, our end goal here at Unstoppable is to give everybody who has access to the internet a domain.
And if people want a more premium domain, those do cost a bit more money.
So, if it's shorter, it tends to cost more money.
If it's a very premium word, there's a little premium on it.
But, yeah, I guess to answer your question, our pricing isn't, I don't know, that's a tough question to answer.
Our pricing isn't meant to be, okay, well, these investors are going to invest money into these domains, and it goes here and here and here.
It's like, our goal is just to want to get people their domains.
And, of course, there will be speculation.
There will be people early buying domains.
That was me, too.
So, before I joined UD, I had 400 UD domains.
But, yeah, that was a loaded question.
I'm trying to track back to what you said.
Really kind of what I would expect.
You're breaking up on my end.
I don't know.
I'm sorry.
You're breaking up on my end.
Like, your voice was caught in that.
What did you say?
Is it any better?
Yeah.
It's good enough.
Yeah, you were good there for a second.
I couldn't argue with it, is that you guys are about expanding as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, whether through marketing or TLDs.
And I think that's a mission that's noble in this case.
If you asked, like, a question right there, I didn't hear it.
I just heard it's a noble case to get domains to people.
That's, like, the last part that you said.
All right.
Flex, are you still there?
Are you still having issues with your internet?
Yeah, nah.
Can you guys hear me?
But Flex, Flex, let's go.
Flex, I can kind of hear you.
Flex, I can kind of hear you.
Can you guys hear me?
I'll bet.
Your mic's a little loud.
I'll bet.
Your mic's a little loud.
And there's NACA.
Okay.
And there's NACA.
Man, this is not me.
This is totally Twitter, man.
Let me try to drop myself and come back.
Okay.
Okay.
There's an echo for you two, Unstoppable, and I think me as well.
Oh, that's not good.
All right.
But, yeah, the goat, if you want to ask that again, let me know.
I feel like I didn't fully answer your question.
That was the goat, but he has something wrong with his mic as well.
All right.
Hey, guys, is that any better?
Yeah, that's way better.
Okay.
Golly, I am so sorry about that.
It's been β I don't know.
I've had to drop down and come back up,
and then I didn't even get the bubble earlier today.
I only had the feather down there.
So, I don't know.
It's just being weird.
Okay.
So, does anybody else want to come up and tell us what you're building
and why you're doing it and why you're choosing these domains?
It does seem from what I β from, you know, just with my short time in the space,
about a year and a half, a little over a year and a half,
with my short time in the space, I can see different strategies from different DGENs,
I guess is what we'll call ourselves, right?
I can see different strategies from different DGENs,
and there are some strategies of investing with the intent to flip.
So, if you have the intent to flip things, you know, I mean,
how many are you going to stack in your bag?
You know, and that's one option.
If you have the intention of building, I mean, how many can you build and maintain?
You know, you have to think about the case, the workload on that, you know what I mean, case by case.
So, yeah, please, if there's anybody else that wants to come up and speak
or throw their two cents in on your decisions and what D you've chosen
and why you've chosen that one to build on,
I always just kind of look at those last three letters or two letters or now one letter.
I like .go.
.go is the most recent one that I've seen for months.
Is that actually the newest?
It's the most recent that I've seen.
Yeah, .go is the newest.
It looks like we have one request from, let's see.
That's weird.
So, there was a request on my end for a new speaker, but I can't see it.
Okay, yeah, I don't see one on my end.
Come on, Elon, you can do better than that.
You can do better than that, Elon.
But, yeah, if anybody else is out there and they want to ask Unstoppable a question
or any of the Don Youth guys a question, just feel free to request.
Yeah, definitely.
And come up and tell us what you're building.
Now, Uncle Nate was talking to us yesterday about spices and sauces and IRL,
like items, you know, to use these websites to build brands, you know,
and that's kind of on the ENS side.
We have that difference between brandable and buildable, you know.
So, these are combinations of what can be both.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Go ahead, ENS Poker.
What do you got?
I was going to ask Unstoppable, what is it?
So, do you all have a lot of people building on, like, websites
or are they using it more for, like, a digital identity, I guess?
Definitely both.
I know websites are super popular, but in general, I feel like the digital identity
to kind of put it out there on Twitter or just to build on the profile
is one of our most popular utilities.
But, yeah, people love websites.
People love creating it.
We have a few templates out there.
So, if you've got a domain, just go to the manage section on it
and it'll get you sorted from there.
That's so weird.
I keep seeing a request thing on my Twitter.
I think people might be requesting to speak, but I just can't see it.
Yeah, I don't see it.
Fireball, you're a co-host as well.
Do you see any requests, man?
Or maybe he's still rugging.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Well, I know some of the builders that are down there.
You know, our guy, Punks, who's always building.
Maintainer's right behind him, right there, always building.
MetaTwerk, we're on God.
He's building with those ETHscriptions, actually.
Looks like Fireball dropped and he's going to be coming back up.
So, let me do that.
Shabbat, of course, is building.
Mofo.
I see Mofo down there.
He's been going left field and right field with domains.
So, I think everybody's kind of choosing, you know, like just whatever their strategy is.
I think it's, you know, Unstoppable has really opened up a lot of people's eyes.
I know that Ishmaelie with this Domainer Expo in December has really opened my eyes, especially because, you know, I'm old, right?
I'm 51.
Well, I'm not old.
But I'm 51, right?
I'm 51 years old.
So, at my age, man, I thought I missed .com.
I thought, oh, yeah, I was too late for .com.
But no, no, I'm not.
There's still .coms out there.
You know what I mean?
I like when Uncle Nate talks about the .coms and the .nets and the .orgs.
And, you know, and when you start looking, when I go to these ETH conferences, like I'm actually going to Miami today.
I'm flying to Miami tonight for ETH Miami, 27th, 28th, and 29th down there in Miami.
I'm going down there.
And when I went to the ETH Denver conference, I'm seeing .io's, .xyz's.
I mean, I'm not seeing a lot of the Web3 TLDs out there at these conferences.
Now, granted, I've been to Web3 conferences, Metaverse conferences, ETH conferences.
But across the board, I continue to see .com, .io, and a few .xyz's.
But I think that was like a corner kind of whole, I don't know.
That was at ETH Denver.
They had like the whole corner of these booths were .xyz people.
So, I mean, I don't know.
I mean, at least they were noticeable.
They were there.
You know, they showed up.
But, you know, moving forward in our space, as far as Web3 is concerned, when do we believe that the mainstream is going to happen?
And if you believe there's going to be a mainstream happening, why are you choosing the TLDs that you're choosing?
Because you can use them?
Because you can build on them?
Because you can be identified by them?
Like, let's talk about some of those things.
And then we need some shilling, right?
Everybody wants to make money, right?
I mean, there's an elephant in the room a lot of people don't like to talk about.
But everybody wants to make money.
So, what about some shilling?
You got 100 .x domains, right?
Are you selling them?
Are you building on them?
You know?
You got 100 .crypto names.
Are you selling them?
Or are you building on them?
You know?
You got 100 .eths.
Are you building them?
Are you selling them?
Like, what are we doing?
Farball?
How about trading?
How about trading?
Anyone with some real grail .x's that wants to do a trade for some grail ENS?
No, I mean, in all seriousness, I mean, who doesn't want a little diversity across TLDs?
Me, personally, I've been keeping sticking to ENS, but it don't sound too bad, but I don't know.
I mean, I'm just building on ENS.
Yeah, definitely, Flexor, this is what we need, man, diversity.
We need people to start talking about their backs, shilling what they have, because I don't think everybody wants to build on 1,000 domains.
Even 10, right?
Who wants to build on that?
I mean, that's a lot of work.
That's a lot of work.
So, we've got a .go guy that I've seen earlier today, OS.go.
He come up, and let's work on that.
.go, why did you choose that TLD?
.go, can you hear us?
What happened?
Did I rug the whole room?
Can you hear us?
.go, are you with us, bro?
Can you hear me?
Loud and clear, buddy.
What's up?
Not too much, man.
I like that.
I like the .go.
We were just talking about it being the newest over there at Unstoppable.
What made you run over there and grab .go?
Well, the thing is, the whole time I've been in domaining, period, I've been a domainer since gone way back.
Not as far back as everybody else, but yeah, you know, before Y2K, I've been domaining.
And I always like the call to action.
So, when I'm looking at .eth, you know what I mean?
I understand it can map to multiple different wallets and things like that.
And the same thing with all unstoppable domain stuff.
The .access can be anything.
You know what I mean?
The .nfts.
I just like a little call to action.
So, I kind of like to use .nfts for actual NFT collections, DAOs for maybe like the employees and organization, ETH for more secure things and stuff like that.
But the .go, I kind of look to it as like a directive, as kind of like a portal into a metaverse and things like that.
Not that everything couldn't be one, but I just like the call to action where, you know, I'm a big proponent of grannies.
You know what I mean?
I actually got granny-proof, dot, whatever, probably everything.
But I like things to kind of be granny-proof.
So, when my granny looks at a .go, she will automatically assume that it's taking her somewhere.
So, that's the reason why I kind of went with those.
I like that, yeah.
It's definitely a call to action for a website or a payment or just any sort of send feature.
I like that.
Yeah, no, that's, again, like I'm saying, when you look at these different TLDs,
again, if you have an NFT project, it seems .nft would be, you know, appropriate for that.
You know, to like call to action, exactly like you're saying.
No, I agree, man.
I think that's pretty smart.
.x, what's up, man?
Yo, some alpha.
Some people around my circle and also on the Welsh chat, I don't think, but if you agree with me,
I think that gold, it might get close to that X or even flip that crypto.
So, I don't know if that's some alpha, but I've seen a lot of registrations going on.
Well, I would say that there's more people to go to places than there are places for people to go.
And so, in that theory, the .x's would have a larger factor of total addressable market there.
I agree, I agree on that.
Yeah, .x is the shortest.
So, it is one of the grouse for a lot of people, even for myself.
Man, I'm glad to hear and meet new people here, like OS.go.
Man, you were here, you said, since Y2K, man.
Like, what can you share with us?
One thing I'll say, you know, is that I kind of like to, you know, Peter Drucker says that the most important thing in communication is what's not being said.
And so, to that end, that means you need to sit back and listen a lot more.
And so, with these naming systems, right, that's what we're doing.
We're creating these naming systems to allow people to find things or get to places.
I would say just sit back and listen, you know, and that will do a lot of the work for you.
Now, you can get creative and make new words like Google was created out of thin air and then try to push value to that.
But if you sit back in these different verticals that you fancy yourself in, something that you don't see as work, but something that you enjoy, it's kind of like your hobby.
If you sit back in those rooms, because now we have the metaverse, we have these audio spatial rooms and all that.
If you get in those verticals and you listen to the verbiage that's being used, you can kind of key in on things like that.
And maybe add a 0x in front of that as the new meta has changed, kind of tells people what they're dealing with already.
But I would just say sit back and listen, you know what I mean?
Don't be in such a rush to FOMO into things.
There's always another one out there, you know.
But sit back and listen.
You want to measure 10 times and cut once, you know what I mean?
Thank you, man.
That's some good words, man.
Like, I will keep it right here, man.
Thank you for sharing.
And that's something probably that not just I needed, but probably a lot of us.
Because sometimes, you know, probably because of the age, depending if you're young or old, I mean, you want to make money fast sometimes.
Yeah, a lot of people do.
But here's the thing.
Everything is a market, right?
No matter what you're doing, you're always investing in something, just like voting.
Even if you don't vote, you're still voting for something.
Here's the thing, though.
What is your exit strategy?
When you sell that thing, what are you going to put that money into that's going to hold the value?
And what do you do with everything that you do anyways, right?
What's the end goal of value anyways?
You want to be at that party, right?
So you can find the girl, so you can be in love, and so you can be happy and hopefully be healthy.
Those are the things that are valued in life.
It's not the party, it's not the money, but it's the people.
So you've got to learn how to value yourself and value each other.
That's where crypto is truly going to get us into the end of the end of all this stuff.
Because paper and ink, these coins, these dogs, none of this stuff matters.
What matters is learning how to value yourself and value each other and stop chasing all this hype and all this money.
It's funny.
It's fun.
It's a great gamification in there.
But never forget what's really valuable in life.
Wow.
Man.
Some wise words, man.
Hopefully, not just me.
And a lot of people that is here, they can appreciate all that.
Thank you very much, man.
Valuable words.
That was very valuable.
That was very valuable.
You know what I mean?
That's very important that we do understand your own self-worth and the communities that you deal with.
Those, the worth of your community.
You know, they do say your network is your net worth.
You know, and sometimes it is best to sit back and listen.
You got two ears and one mouth for a reason.
Ain't that what Grandmama said?
You got two ears and one mouth for a reason.
So you can listen more than you talk.
All right.
I dig it.
I dig it.
Who did we have just come up?
I saw Enzo came up and iTonic.
I'd seen them in the room.
Again, there's just so many valuable people in this room that do so much for the community.
I see Punks down there.
I see Prolific.
I want to give some shout-outs to Maintainer, MoFo, again, iTonic and 305, Enzo, my guy.
Now, Bitcoin.x is down there.
CoinHunt.x, Columbus, or I'm sorry, Columbo.nft, Knight.x, 411.x.
I mean, it's good to see, you know, all of our communities getting together and dealing, you know,
communicating, I should say, with each other about, you know, how we see the space moving forward.
Ismaili has put together a phenomenal Domainer Expo December 6th and 7th in Las Vegas, kind of bridging that gap between the Web 2 guys and the Web 3 guys.
So, as I look in this room, I see Uncle Nate, Web 2.
I can now see OS.go.
OS.go.
Okay, good.
I am following you.
I can see OS.go that's been here for a while back.
You know, Ron and Enzo, they've been here for a while back.
They were, you know, they're, Ron, our guy Ron, one of those guys in our community over at Maxi's,
he was one of the dudes that used to pound the pavement and hand out AOL, hand out AOL, um, um, discs, right?
Like CDs.
That's how the Internet used to come to us, guys.
It used to come on an AOL disc.
And people used to pound the pavement, go business to business, door to door,
trying to tell people what the Internet was.
Because we didn't even know what the Internet was back then.
So, to have people like Uncle Nate, OS.go, Ron, come in here and deal with some of the youth,
like iTonic, you know, um, um, hedgehog down there.
Not youth, but not like that.
Just younger than me.
You know what I mean?
Like, you know, you 20-30s.
You 20-30s guys.
You know what I mean?
Like, when we can mix the over-50s with the 20s, 30s, and we're all cool.
You know what I'm saying?
And we're all getting along.
I think that's the bonding there.
That kind of, you know, kind of maybe take a couple of pages out of the old folks' book.
Take a couple of pages out of the young guys' book.
Let's write our own book.
Let's write this new book on TLDs.
You know, let's give value to all of them.
Because all of them do have value.
Somehow, someway.
Just like OS.go said.
You know what I mean?
The real value, of course, is in yourself.
But when you're, you know, wanting to go flip something and try to make some money,
then what are you going to invest it in to hold that value?
That value is what's important.
And since we're all in a market, I mean, the market's really what's going to tell us.
I mean, come on.
There's domains out there that they do call grails that really you can't even sell right now
because there's no money in the market.
Now it is boosting.
Don't get me wrong.
It's boosting.
I know that everybody that's a Bitcoiner is super happy right now.
So if you have Bitcoin, I'm sure you're jumping up and down.
And ETH broke $1,800 last night.
So with ETH breaking $1,800, Bitcoin going up like that, people are saying we're back.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm not going to count my chickens before they hatch.
But I know that we're rising as a space.
You know, so if we continue to rise, I think that's all we should expect from each other.
You know?
Now, guys, we've been here.
We're about to wrap it up.
I'm going to send it around the room.
Oh, I see my girl Presley just showed up.
How you doing, Presley?
Some other people just showed up.
Yeah, guys, we're going to run this on Thursdays just to come and get your info.
We want to know what you're building.
And then we're going to get to the point where we're going to start shilling over here.
Okay?
I want some sales to be made, and I want to see what kind of money is to be made for these TLDs.
So right now, let's get educated first.
You know, that's kind of the game plan, sort of the roadmap of this space, is for all of us to get educated and get some value towards these domains and what you believe they're worth.
Because with ENS, you know, it is a little bit different.
We have a platform, ENS Vision, and there's, like, categories for domains.
And then once you have a category, then you can get a floor price.
So it kind of changes the game a little bit.
But I haven't seen that so much with Unstoppable.
With Unstoppable, I've just been kind of seeing the domain is being bought and then built upon.
You know, I don't see a lot of the flipping or the selling or really the secondary marketplaces to, I don't know, promote, maybe?
I don't, like, Unstoppable does more promoting, marketing, and anything than any of the other ones that I've ever seen.
So mad flowers to Unstoppable for that.
But I just don't see the community of theirs shilling their projects, like, as much as ENS does.
And that's what I want to see.
I want to see Unstoppable people, you know, I mean, we're all domainers, but just the majority of Unstoppable domainers,
I want to see you shilling your projects more.
I want to know what you're building.
That's why, if you've seen the poster of this space, the poster that I made, I mean, I had my artwork done by Roteman himself.
Roteman made that poster for me.
You know, it's right there next to the microphone.
What are you building?
Because that's what I want to know.
OS Go, what do you got, brother?
Yeah, I just wanted to say that.
I don't think it's, and this isn't a dig at all, but I think one of the differences here is that with Unstoppable domains,
because there is no renewal fee, these domains are timeless, and so there's no rush to the market.
And so we'll kind of, even though we have tons of integrations and all that, but we're kind of like waiting for the market to really fill in,
you know, and get out of this noob stage.
I know that's what I'm doing here, so there's no reason for me to sell anytime soon.
I have no sell pressure.
I actually just have buy pressure of claiming these domains that I wish to use or sell,
or to kind of market to who I believe will be a responsible steward of them before they get all taken up.
Yeah, yeah.
Flexer, let me, I agree with OS Go.
I get, because there's a lot, myself, I have to take out some of my emails,
because a lot, there was a few people that wants to do private sales.
I also have to close down some of my private messages.
I already know who to answer or who not to.
And there's a lot of people that want to do private sales.
So let me, let me, let me, let me see if I'm getting this right.
Let me see if I'm, let me see if I'm picking up what you and OS.go are putting down here.
Let me see if I'm picking this up right.
Yeah, you got it.
You got it.
I was about to say, hold on, yo, because maybe you're hearing the same thing.
Are you guys hearing that there are diamond hands over there at Unstoppable?
Are these guys diamond hands?
I don't, I don't want to, I don't want to say that.
But it's because, I mean, a lot of people was here earlier,
and they were able to grab, you know, some stuff that at a certain point should be protected.
Look, I said something, I said something first.
All right.
I said something before, and I'll say it again.
Is that you've never seen a Chinese food commercial.
All right.
You've never, you've never seen a Chinese food commercial.
And the reason you haven't is because you don't need to advertise something that good.
All right.
You don't need to advertise something that good.
That's why you ain't never seen it.
So maybe that's why you guys, you know, the community,
I'm not talking about Unstoppable as a company.
Unstoppable as a company is doing more than any other platform.
As far as they go to all the I can mean.
We're talking about individually.
Individually.
Everybody has their own, their own market.
I believe everybody has built their own network as well.
And I heard people, man, like they were going door to door as well,
into networking with local.
Local vendors talking about it and nice people that's been doing private sales.
Unfortunately, not everybody wants to go mainstream on blockchain
because somehow they will find out who owns the freaking wallet.
I guess that's where we get into the safety and security people
that want to be doxxed or do not want to be doxxed.
So, yeah, maybe we can run that by for another space
because that's a whole space in itself, that safety and security side.
Yeah, yeah, man.
I'm talking about not just people.
I'm talking about companies, you know, like big companies, you know.
But besides that, if you want to sell and you want to open the doors
to that kind of people, I mean, it's not secure to do a private sale.
I mean, you have to do a lot of research on that.
But probably they can knock on your door at least
and try to convince them to buy it from OpenSea
or whatever platform you're using.
I mean, that's the only thing I can tell you, you know.
Try to convince the company or the person or the business
that wants to buy it from you
to buy it directly from you on a smart contract platform.
All right. Yeah.
No, brother, that makes sense.
Now, we do have a couple of new speakers that came up.
Hedgehog came up.
I know Hedgehog, he likes content with his domains,
and he's a big analytics guy.
And then I Love Domains come up.
So let's start with I Love Domains.
We'll go to Hedgehog, and then we'll close it out for the day, guys.
What's going on, I Love Domain?
Hey, how y'all doing?
Just tapping into the conversation.
I'm actually driving home on my way back from out of town
and driving for about six or seven hours.
But yeah, loving the daily conversations,
loving all the energy behind domains.
I do agree that Unstoppable has definitely been building their ass off.
I do also agree that a lot of people are building their ass off
behind the scenes on their domains as well,
so everybody deserves equal credit, equal support.
We're all bullish trying to get one thing, push forward, and adopt it.
So love to see you.
Thank you, man.
Now, that's good stuff.
That's good stuff.
Hedgehog, what do you got, brother?
Yo, what's up, guys?
Good afternoon, Fletch.
Good afternoon, Unstoppable.
Everybody else.
What's going on, Fletch?
I woke up a little late today, man.
I was so tired, dude.
I took a three-hour nap, bro,
and I just woke up an hour and a half ago, man.
But what's popping?
I understand you're about to close, but what's good?
No, we're just seeing what people are building on their domains, man.
That's it.
So we've had a few people come up, talk about an art project.
And then, of course, Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock.
I'm not going to leave this place without talking about that.
Yeah, I did purchase rockpaperscissorslizardspock.eth,
all emojis.
And I didn't buy it for the domain.
This was a different move.
Yeah, this was a different move for me.
I bought it for the game.
The gentleman, ETH Galaxy, he had built a game on it.
You know, like Rock, Paper, Scissors, you play against the computer.
So that's why I bought the domain.
You know, it just so happened to be attached to all emojis,
rockpaperscissorslizardspock.eth.limo.
So that's just a different approach.
Yeah, that's just a different approach.
And it just goes to show that, you know,
when you do build things on your domains,
a person might not really care about the domain
as much as they care about what you've built on top of it.
A domain is only a way for you to get there.
That call to action, right?
That domain will get you to where you want to be.
So at the end of the day,
we want to play Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock.
And if we want to play that,
well, we just got to get people there.
As a matter of fact, here, I'm going to pin it to the top
so you guys can...
For some of the people that don't know,
okay, I'm a Big Bang Theory lover.
Like, that's just my show,
Big Bang Theory and Seinfeld.
I watch them daily, right?
And Sheldon, you know,
invented Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock.
Well, a gentleman had built a game
on this domain using the all emojis.
It's pinned at the top of the Jumbotron there.
So when you click on that,
it'll take you to a game
where you play against the computer.
And, you know, there's a little picture of Spock.
There's a little picture of a lizard,
a little picture of paper,
you know, all of it.
It's all there.
And for some people,
they didn't even know
there was a Spock emoji.
A lot of people didn't even know
there was a Spock emoji.
So this is kind of opening more eyes
as to what you can do with domains,
what characters you can use with domains,
and what you can build on top of them.
Yeah, I heard it, man.
Thank you, bro.
I see my boy Enzo305 came down.
What's going on, Enzo?
How are you today, brother?
Yo, yo, what's up, Flex?
I just wanted to stop by and say what's up.
The GOAT there, Unstoppable,
everyone else in the house, man.
Appreciate you hosting the space.
Yeah, I just wanted a quick highlight.
I heard you talking about Bitcoin, man.
I don't remember if you were in the space
about six months ago
when I was driving down to Miami, right?
I pulled over to this gas station.
I got out.
I went inside to grab a drink.
And I saw a Bitcoin ATM machine.
And I've talked about this a few times since then.
And there was about this 65-year-old lady, right?
She was buying her Bitcoin.
And, you know, I just spark up conversation with her.
And I asked her, you know,
can you explain to me what Bitcoin is?
I acted like I was a newbie.
And she detailed exactly what Bitcoin is.
She explained to me that it's free market asset.
This is what you need to buy.
And her grandson has been telling her about it.
And she's been loading up.
And Bitcoin was at $17,000.
Then the whole time,
the entire drive down to Miami,
about an hour and a half after that,
that's all I kept thinking about.
I'm like, if she gets it,
everyone else gets it.
And what I'm going with this is after that day,
obviously, I loaded up more of my bags.
I'm a Bitcoin guy.
I'm an Ethereum guy, right?
I like to diversify.
I have alts as well.
And ENS, right?
And domains.
And I think once people get to that understanding,
what a domain is,
it's a digital identity, you know,
to represent who you are, right?
And they will start getting what domains are,
what Web3 domains are.
And I think it's going to probably take a little while, right?
I highlighted what's going on in the market today, right?
Apple, Amazon, Netflix,
those are the magnificent seven,
the top seven market cap stocks.
They're the ones that took us higher
at the beginning of the year.
And now they're taking us slower.
And we're getting a little beating here.
And depending on what the Fed does, right,
if they hike rates, stay flat, pause,
and what Jerome Powell and the crew,
what they do in the next six months
is going to determine how we chop up
and seesaw between now and then.
But I think after the first quarter,
we have runway, right?
All the way until the halving in April.
And then everything's going to moon
because that's what it does.
That's what history rhymes.
And that's what it teaches us,
that Bitcoin is the leader.
It takes off, then alts, then everything else.
And, you know, domains will have their time.
100.
Right?
Domains will have their time.
So right now, it's basically,
you just have to build, right?
I'm building something,
a couple of things on the side here.
And, you know,
and I'll share with the community soon.
And that's what we do.
Between now and then,
we just got to keep building
and keep education.
So I appreciate you guys.
And I just wanted to stop by and say hello.
No, thank you, man.
I appreciate it.
I always like, guys,
check out Enzo on the GM show.
He's got the GM show Monday through Friday
at 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.
And Enzo gives a lot of the reports
on Web 2, on Web 3, on real estate,
on the stock market,
a lot of those charts and graphs.
That nobody really likes to read.
He's got them all in front of him
shooting us the info.
He's definitely giving us good updates,
good crypto reports,
and there's some great reporting
coming out of Enzo over on that GM space.
So definitely check it out.
10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.
All right, guys.
I mean, that's us.
We're going to shut it down.
Fireball, thank you so much
for co-hosting with me today, man.
I love the fact that you're, you know,
everybody zoom out.
Everybody zoom out.
You know what I mean?
That's what Fireball tells me
is to zoom out, and I got to.
I got to.
We got to look at all these naming services
because there's room for all.
There's 8 billion people in the world.
Come on.
There's 8 billion people.
There's plenty of room for all of us.
Plenty of room for all of us.
You know what I'm saying?
I really like .go, Fletch.
It's a dope.
You like .go?
Hell yeah.
I got myself immediately after Unstoppable Domains
gave us a chance to mint them, right?
Like three months ago or whatever.
Dude, I said in my mind, I said,
wait a minute.
Book and go.
Book and .go.
I'm like travel, leisure.
So I got that one, bro.
And the metaverse.go.
Come on, baby.
I'm doing some good things.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Hold on, Hedge.
Hold on, Hedge.
Hold on.
Did you?
Man, you're getting around.
Jeez.
Hold on.
Did he just say he got booking?
Did you get booking.go?
Oh, well, there we go.
And look, and I'm not even in front of my computer.
I'm shooting alpha out there.
Booking.go.
That would be perfect for some sort of travel site.
Don't pass .go.
No, serious question.
Is there a secondary market for these?
For .axe, all the others?
Or is it on OTC?
I think OpenSea, right?
No, OTC, I said.
Hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Adrian.
Adrian, what is the secondary market for Unstoppable?
Do you sell them on your own website?
Or are they on OpenSea?
So currently, the main secondary market is OpenSea.
Also, it could be like OTC as well.
Because we have a way where people can contact you if they want your demand.
So we see that happen to get them out.
But yeah, as the space expands, you know, things may change.
New companies like OpenSea might come around.
And as more people come in, that means more interest.
So we'll see where it goes.
So are all of the TLDs traded on OpenSea?
Yeah, all the TLDs, all the domains are tradable on OpenSea, just because it's on Polygon and it's on blockchain, which OpenSea has a solicit.
Okay, and then not another loaded question, but just acknowledging the limitations of BrokenSea sometimes.
Anything that anybody who's new to this should watch out for?
Because like I know, for example, I mean, you can run across fake domains, you know, ISNLs, things like that.
So any tips if someone's looking to get started on OS on Unstoppable?
Yeah, so nothing really to watch out for, just because certain characters aren't allowed in the domains that we service.
So we don't service emojis at this point.
We don't service different or weird characters.
But it's just all standard, you know, numbers and letters.
What I will say to that is like there are certain features we do want OpenSea to include.
So we've pinged them a few times about it.
But it's more just like when you type in the search bar, we want people to be able to find their domains, whether that's ENS or .x or .go or .nft.
People should be able to look it up and find it.
I think that was the standard and then it got removed about a few weeks ago.
So we want them to fix that for sure.
Additionally, I know sometimes like it can look a little bit disorganized in the secondary markets.
They've been made aware, but it's kind of up to them at this point once that's fixed.
But yeah, let's take .x as a question.
What's up, man?
Oh, yeah.
There's a platform that was built, I believe, from one of the members.
I believe it's IDC.
Some people use it too.
I haven't used it.
No idea on the security.
But some of the wells have used IDC to make secondary sales as well.
There's no need for, and I believe they also sell that ID and different TLDs from different blockchains.
So that's something that you guys can use as well.
And for the new people, just make sure that when you click created by, it matches the collection.
The ID matches the collection.
That's pretty much it.
Because with the open C right now, I mean, anybody can get scammed.
So you can create, like, zero with joiners, for example, on OS registrations.
That's a risk, I assume?
Or no?
No, you can't.
No, you can't.
That's what he's saying.
Yeah, that's what he's saying.
There are no special characters.
Yeah, you cannot.
Because there's not the special case character like that.
And at this point, they're not supporting emojis and those type things.
Just basic letters and numbers.
Just to give a little bit of context to what the goat is saying there, on the ENS side, when, like, the four digits were popping, a person would put an L instead of a 1.
And it looked like a four digit, and people were just FOMO, and they're buying them.
And they're getting scammed because it's like 4-I-4-4 instead of 4-1-4-4 or something like that.
And so we just want to make sure that, you know, when you are buying domains, that there's not, like, those fakie, Fugazi-style, Shabbat's word, Fugazi domains.
So, yeah, let's just keep it real.
If you see a domain on secondary or on primary for us, it is how you see it.
So there's no worries on it being spelled wrong or there being any malicious attempts to mess with you.
It is what it is, right?
The domain that you see is the domain you get.
Now, it must be said, I put something up in the mantle up top with Bradley Camp speaking at ICANN.
He did say that they were trying to work on that because some of those special characters are used on regions outside of the United States.
And so we're trying to find a way to be more inclusive to include some of those things in a way where it can be safe.
But, yeah, as of right now, we're not there yet.
100%.
And, yeah, things might change over time.
But as it stands right now, that's kind of how the base layer is.
All right, guys.
Well, that's Unscuffed for this Thursday.
Join us every Thursday, 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, to get more Unscuffed, Unstoppable education.
We need to get more education, each and every one of us.
Zoom out.
There's room for all of us.
It looks like we're all really, really enjoying this space.
I'm loving the camaraderie between the ENSers and the Unstoppable guys in these spaces.
It's what we need more of.
Just more love, more joy, more peace, and more education.
You can never learn enough.
That's why I love being a chef.
I can never learn every recipe on the planet.
You know what I mean?
So, God bless each and every one of you.
Drink plenty of water, okay?
Drink plenty of water.
I'm on my way to Miami.
If you're in Miami this weekend, check it out.
ETH Miami.
It's a great hackathon.
And the ENS Maxis are having a party tomorrow night, 7 p.m.
Wynwood Brewery.
Chicken Wings and Beer are on the team.
So, come and see me, guys.
Adrian, any last words, brother?
Yes, sir.
All right.
So, if you guys can hear me, if you've got a friend who is not repping a domain on Twitter,
change that.
Tell them to rep it.
Whether it's a .eath, .soul, .sats, .x, .nft.go, whatever it may be, tell them.
DM them right now to change their name.
You bet.
Boom.
Great advice.
Great advice.
Get a domain as your Twitter handle.
Fireball.
Last words, my man?
No, I just love spaces like this.
Look, I mean, Unstoppable's been hanging out a lot on Twitter and in some unfriendly waters
at times.
They keep showing up.
They keep delivering the message.
And, look, I mean, there's a lot of complicated feelings on things, but I think everybody's
for the expansion of Web3.
Everybody's for the expansion of naming Web3.
We realize it's important.
And I just love that, you know, as I've seen the Web2 domainers, ENSers, people who are
in Unstoppable really collaborating together.
It feels like the acceleration is really, really taking off.
So, thank you for running this.
Thanks for everybody who's showing up and collaborating positively and looking forward to the next
time.
All right, guys.
Join me tomorrow, 1230 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time for The Vine with Flexster.eth.
I've got special guest Uncle Nate.
He's going to come and talk to us about this Web2, Web3 bridge.
All right.
At the Domainer Expo 2023, Las Vegas.
Don't miss that one either.
All right.
That's us, guys.
Thank you so much for showing up.
I sure do appreciate it.
And we'll catch up with you next time.
If you're going to mine, take some zinc.
And we'll catch up with you next time.
