I'm thinking about building a platform where domain investors compete to see who can buy and sell the most names in 3 months. How do I stop cheating, like selling to friends or self-dealing, so the stats show real investor or end-user sales? What rules or tech would solve this?

One of these renewal prices is definitely not like the others 👀 Really makes the ones that are in the $1k+ range look reasonable 🤣

Congrats to @AmmarKubba and AskWisdom․ai on the sale/purchase of Wisdom․ai. $750,000 sale tops the public sales charts at @DNJournal for .ai sales, beating out you․ai and cloud․ai. Check out the options they had to choose from, which clearly aren't as good as Wisdom․ai.

Which domain in your portfolio racks up the most exact-match SLDs on @DotDB across all extensions? Mine’s https://t.co/QC7A5WvFWL with 418. What’s yours?

"The proof is in the pudding." I’m excited to see real success stories emerge as the financialization of domain names develops, with hopefully less hype and more proof. The players: @RDAOToken (by @ECorp, since 2020) @onRallyRd (not blockchain, domains since 2024) @Domoracom

Domain name investors drive early sales in every new TLD launch. Without investors, how far would registry revenue fall?

I have 99 problems and almost all of them all related to buying and not selling domain names.

Great domain names require no explanation. Good domain names sometimes do because we don't know everything. I'm always amazed how many massive niches exist in the world.

I don't usually scan closeouts and low-priced auctions, but for the @DNAcademy Investor Challenge it's a daily habit. Yesterday, I spent 12 minutes searching. In 6 months, I turned $500 into $3,475 (after commissions), just by spending ~10 min a day hunting deals on @GoDaddy.

Some people collect rare art, vintage wine, or luxury handbags. I'd much rather collect a powerful domain name. To each their own. Celebrate what you love.

Here's my domain investing strategy shift for 2025: Moving to 5-year lease terms on all domains under $250k. Keeping domains while collecting steady payments will be my model. Failed businesses return domains, but payments stay with me. Switching from one-time sales to

There’s a great satisfaction in writing a well-thought out and clear functional specification to code to.
