@dynatodd any workaround to get the NS set for .si Domains? Thanks

Strange that a lot of .si transfers out from Dynadot are being denied even though auth codes are issued. Just saw a batch of about 100 get denied. Anyone else experiencing this?

@Dynadot Need help with my .si domains can't update DNS and can't transfer, can't see the auth code, and can't contact support (chat busy)

I notice the registry is busy only at @Dynadot it's a serious issue.

Get your .si for $10.18 with a one time use code SIREGSPS26. Thanks @spaceship #dotsi

Tech crypto finance

When will it be fixed?

.si domains coming to Namecheap and Spaceship tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Anyone who is in close and private contact with @dynatodd , please pass on the word to give a clarity to all domainers who are stuck in the middle at dynadot .so registry issue. Hundreds of communication has happened since last 3-4 days with different dynadot agent, and everyone is getting only one response 'technical team' is working on it. It is peak frustration that you can't list your domain on dynadot even, nor can change the ns. We will really appreciate it. Thanks

Guys, no such sale has been completed or even funded yet. These types of posts are not useful. Once something happens I will be the first to confirm.

do I need to post some recent .ai sales?

The news has finally broke that @Shopify has acquired the Shop.com domain name! I learned about this deal several months ago at a very interesting cocktail party. While I was not involved in the transaction, and because nobody directly involved is my source, I am going to tell you something that is not being reported: The price was $100 Million!!! JUST the domain name. That is the state of the market ladies and gentlemen. YOUR DOMAIN = YOUR BRAND = THE LAST MOAT

alhamdulillah few small sales

Alhamdulillah

The worst sale of my life. Bought by @Manous100, the biggest scammer I've come across in domain industry. 22 August: We reached an agreement to sell it at $3500. He told me that he had 750 USD only and he'll pay the remaining by Thursday (27th August). Since it was not possible to create a checkout link with two payment and only 750 in down payment, he told me to create a link on six installment but he'll pay by Thursday (27th August). As I created the checkout link and sent it to him, he agreed instantly. The next day, I received 3000 euro inbound offer on Sedo and 3000 USD offer in private (both could've gone higher). But, I declined both to honour the deal with him. However, he paid first payment of 750 USD two days after agreement. Then, he vanished from X and I knew his Namepros, his auction ID on multiple platform. I saw him bidding on multiple auction platform but he was neither paying me as per verbal agreement nor was he replying to my message. Then, I found his WhatsApp and messaged him. He told me he was going through tough time due to Nepal flood. The question: If it is true, why was he bidding on so many auction during that period? After lot of arguments, he paid me one more installment after around two week. Now, he vanished again. Although, I've delisted the domains on all platform. I don't know why I couldn't delist it on SEDO. I am continuously receiving offer on SEDO but I couldn't do anything. He'll probably pay the amount in six installment. I had to pay commission on the sale and I had made very small profit on it, it was indeed a big loss for me. Do not trust anyone. There are many human parasite in this industry.

A $1.4M domain sold yesterday on a payment plan, with a substantial down payment. It's the fourth name this founder has bought from us. Two thoughts. Payment plans widen the market for great names. There have never been more startups, and never more competition for attention. A strong name is a real edge, but most entrepreneurs can't write a seven-figure check on day one. Discovery matters even at this level. They weren't looking for this specific name. They found it while browsing the marketplace, just like the previous three. Founders tend to brainstorm outward from what their company does, which often leads them toward descriptive names. The best brandable names are open vessels: broad enough to hold a company that doesn't exist yet. Which means many founders never think to search for them. You have to see the name first and recognize yourself in it.

Finally, the funds were released on Day 5. On the other hand, Afternic recently released funds to me in less than 45 minutes from the point of sale, and many other companies are now releasing seller proceeds within minutes or a few hours. I really hope @Dynadot can learn from its peers and make this process more efficient sooner rather than later. The most surprising part was that customer support had no clear visibility into when the finance team would actually release the funds. That lack of transparency was more frustrating than the delay itself. I also appreciate @dynatodd for escalating the matter with his team. My only concern is that a $20 or $25 transaction fee alone will not make a payment service competitive if sellers still have to wait several days for their funds while other platforms are releasing them in minutes or hours. Low fees are great, but speed, transparency, and efficiency matter just as much.
