Buying a domain should take 30 seconds. Some registrars have turned it into a hostage negotiation with 14 upsells.

I still couldn’t believe this is still an issue. Is @GoDaddy @godaddyauctions IT team on strike or what? I am not sure what they wanted to achieve? It is one of the company whose progress is backward as far as tech advancement goes. Sorry to say but this is fact. I am being grateful to them, but sometimes we need to share the fact. I hope they take some action to fix this issue ASAP.
Is anyone else having issues with the @GoDaddy @godaddyauctions Investor app? It hasn’t been working properly for me for the past few days, and I’m unable to place bids reliably. Curious if others are experiencing the same issue or if this is isolated to my account/device. @GoDaddyHelp — would appreciate if the team could look into it.

So almost 70% of single word .si domain names are in the hands of domain investors. TLDs historically grow in awareness and value through adoption, and that typically begins with indies or small funded startups, which can rarely afford to spend 5 figs and up for a domain name. I hope all those .si domain names that are in the hands of domain investors get reasonably priced, because if not I predict the TLD will not make it. When I see 6-7 figs being asked for .si domain names all I see are investors harming themselves with a dream. Stay focused and stay realistic with your pricing if you ever hope to see .si domain names grow.

Yesterday Trump renamed AI to "Super Intelligence." The official abbreviation is SI. So I scanned the .si registry for premium names. 3,700+ are still available, including 4-letter dictionary words like hued·si Free searchable list: paulnl.com/si

I checked the nameservers of 370,000 single English dictionary words on the .si tld. Here are some stats: With working nameservers - 46,359 Domain investor, confirmed - 21,704 (46.8%) Domain investor, likely - 10,364 (22.4%) Brand protection firms - 507 Registrar parked - 4391 Real hosting - 8493 That means almost 70% of .si single word domain names are very likely investor held or use a for sale lander. That is a huge number, compared to roughly an estimated 8-9% in .com that has a for sale lander, or around 10% for .ai, although almost half of all .ai domains are not actually in use.

Does anyone else see a decent opportunity with si+word and word+si .com domain names? There are so many unknown variables at play with .si, it feels like going for these in .com is perhaps a safer bet.

$300 for a bug that gives free access to OpenAI’s paid models with no API key or account. Zero reason to report anything else I find to them.

Yes, Afternic allows adding them but GoDaddy fails to show the aftermarket result. @jamesiles Is this something you can look into?
Huge amount of lost aftermarket sales due to GoDaddy not supporting .si.

To all .si investors, if you're hoping that the tld gains traction stop asking ridiculous 7 figure prices for your domains. There are stages of growth every TLD goes through to reach those big numbers, and .si isn't even beyond the first stage, yet people are asking 7 figs? It's nuts..

First impressions beta testing @dnx registrar. Absolutely on par if not better than any current user experience that exists in domains. Navigating through different pages is as fast as I've seen for a registrar. I regged some domains and they were live on whois within a minute. I'm impressed.

I am buying one word .dev domains taken in 200+ TLDs (according to dotdb). Send me what you have please with a price. No price, no deal. Be sensible with pricing please. Edit: If I don't reply it means I am not interested
