@melvininho Yeah it was very apparent when they removed Brantley then proposed censoring ens using ens fairy to burn offensive names. Worst team and seemingly unlimited money relative to their size. It’s been so poorly ran.

@Lough Idk really know how to say this nicely but it basically is because ENS is bigoted. Many types of things and ppl are beneath ENS. ENS is not for everyone
ENS stopped sending notifications on X, why Hayden lost his name and had to pay ENS $ 40k, is because Nick doesnt like Elon😂

This is the most defeatist loser take ever and its the main explanation behind the actions of ENS. I have tried to explain countless times that this is an insane fear but alas ENS ppl cant stop fighting this ghost.
That ENS is doomed cus they sold certain brand and common names

They wanted to use ENS, but they couldn't get the names that matched their identities. Someone had already registered them and priced them far outside their budgets. These were teams actually shipping useful things in Ethereum, and the names that should have helped them join the network were out of reach.

@melvininho I’ve tried asking multiple times why gambling sites aren’t using .eth, is there an effort from ens team to pitch to these crypto businesses to use .eth? They’re worried about extracting $ from their current users and fight organic growth with their idea of how growth should look
English
@Lough To me adoption of the people is important, not one brand. This whole endless squatters-are-the-obstacle-to-ENS-success is so extremely pathetic.
The adoption of ppl is important, not that of brands. Build some useful stuff, maybe then regs wouldnt be down

ENS is not overwhelmed by speculation. ENS is underwhelmed by usage. And there so many more crypto users out there to win. To serve. And more to onboard. But no instead ENS must focus on the .eth of some big company. Thats what concerns m. And raising .eth entry lvl price 240%

I remember when the ENS team wanted to tax us on bids, they’ve done such a shit job that now there are no bids & less usage. I will say it’s impressive that they are still finding new ways to do the wrong things even in this market. @nicksdjohnson

A useful.eth tool for ens domains would be to see the highest bid a name has ever received.

@melvininho @garypalmerjr My point is that it’s their mistake they were able to extend at any point of their ownership. They mismanaged their assets and therefore are not entitled to any future value regarding the asset they let expire.
English
@Lough @garypalmerjr the grace period does not prevent all people forgetting or unable to renew, I dont see why it should work this way, just seems like profiting of unfortunate circumstances
dune.com/brokem/ens-pre… (check >6400 chart for example, why would ppl let these names purposely expire?)

You don't own your house, ever. You pay taxes on your house, yearly. (Don't believe me...then stop paying taxes.)
Also, you don't own the utility or the right to use your car. You have to pay registration fees, yearly. (Don't believe me...then stop paying car fees.) #PublicGoods
English
@melvininho @garypalmerjr It’s up to the individual to manage the asset they own. Not to be bailed out for their mistake at the expense of ENS funding.
English
@melvininho @garypalmerjr It clearly states how long you’re paying for ownership of the name when you buy it and there is a grace period of 3 months after expiration of that date for you to renew ownership. There is no need for the new mint fee to go to the previous owner.

@nicksdjohnson_ Integration is the marketing, if you deposit to an ens address once you’re never going back to hexadecimal.
English
@nicksdjohnson_ Covering integration costs would suffice and help both parties. I don’t think giving them a cut would be a good idea
English
@cory_eth He kept reiterating “well what we know for sure is” then sourcing one person who he claims is us gov telling him in a private setting. Then that there are claim cases in the court system that prove it’s true, yet those cases just prove someone is claiming it’s true.

I can't get over how much Tucker embarrassed himself on JRE

@nicksdjohnson_ Secondary market value isn’t there right now but like I said product is still good and the growth stats aren’t bad.

If you’re still bullish eth then ENS premium market is still inevitable. When price rose so soon previously I was surprised as when I registered I expected to hold 5 years until demand caught up. I remember when two letter instagrams were $40/50 on hackforums and they’re now $10k
English
@eggs_eth @ensdomains And we will consider after you’ve paid $6400 in fees for 10 years increasing the price so you you are forced to let it go

@nicksdjohnson_ is going to have an aneurism when he sees this April fools post from ENS

@LucemansNL @ensdomains You don’t get to do April fools when majority of people using ens dislike you and are unhappy with how you allocate time and capital.
