@ntropiq @domainsea So am I correct Unstoppable has decided not to apply for .blockchain?

we listened to your feedback - yesterday we added "applying to ICANN" as a quickfilter to surface select web3 TLDs in search. also, your TLD search filters are now saved so the next time you open search you will see the same TLDs. so web3-interested users will still get a web3-centric experience

@Berryhillj @doronvermaat Depends on the type of name and discovery. Atom has some good data on people starting with one keyword and buying a domain that doesn't have the keyword. (Of course, those transactions won't use a lawyer.)

@doronvermaat Absolutely correct. I've handled many substantial domain sales over the years, and I can't recall any of them started with a buyer who went "domain shopping" at a marketplace. The buyer was interested in purchasing a specific domain, or a narrow range of alternatives.

@garypalmerjr What’s your point?

Web3 "domains" are dead - domainnamewire.com/2026/03/19/web…

@JohanPoyhonen OK, follow up with me when you're no longer early.

@DomainNameWire Very much so.

@JohanPoyhonen Yes, you're just early.

@DomainNameWire I'm amazed at the lack of insight. Web3-domains success are dependent on crypto mass adoption. Anyone in crypto and Web3 would understand this. This is like calling Bitcoin Dead for a million different times over the years. We are still way early for flip sake.

@afzalmiahDI That's not a domain. An AI tool can't use it to promote their tool, because hardly anyone can visit it.

@DomainNameWire Curious if you’re seeing more interest in short “.x” domains for AI tools? Names like Evaluate.x feel like a natural fit for evaluation / analytics platforms. Feels like an emerging naming trend 👀 #domains #AI

@garypalmerjr The SEC isn't "teaching" anything. I think ETH domains have a purpose - they are wallet address shorteners. They will never have a use for websites.

@DomainNameWire So you're saying Web3 domains are dead, but the SEC is teaching people about ENS/web3 domain protocol...interesting? Q: Is PayPal using Web3 domains?

@ordnals OK why would you want a decentralized website?

@DomainNameWire human readable addresses are a vital utility to prevent poisoning and secure crypto transactions. Another utility is decentralized websites/dapps. blockchain domains aren’t going anywhere. All websites are already .eth domains so it’s far from dead. study ens

@garypalmerjr That's not what the document Brantly points to says. It just says .eth is a tool instead of a security.

@adamstrong @Hertz @Avis Riiiight

@DomainNameWire @Hertz @Avis Teslas or AI will fix it Right?

Last straw with @Hertz in TFA. Why make a reservation and be a “gold” member if I have to wait in line an hour at 12:30am

@adamstrong @Hertz Yeah. Well, after my @Avis experience, I decided I'm going back to @Hertz . I guess they all suck. Enjoy your trip

@DInvesting @hypernames @DNAcademy @afternic I talked to a large investor who has his domains set to 13 months. He said only about half of the people bother to move the slider and realize 12 months is actually less per month (and one less payment)

@hypernames @DNAcademy @DomainNameWire @afternic If they can't figure out the math using the payment slider given by GoDaddy, they might be doomed anyway.
