Nostr dot com for sale! $5m, offer ends 20th Sept, at which point it will come under the umbrella/management of LNbits Inc for 3 years. (If sold, I commit to 10% going to fiatjaf, and 10% towards LNbits development). DM or email ben at lnbits dot com if interested. Rationale: I would of course prefer to keep it, but current needs must. I bought the domain in 2020 for $5k, and it's value is at least x1000. If its not sold, @lnbits will use for services, such as relays and sell NIP05 handles. The sale must be to the right person/project/company who will use it for something great.

Ben, how much do you realistically need? I'd love to see the domain and it's content in the hands of several individuals, such as how bitcoin.org is handled. It would be a shame to see nostr.com turn into something similar to bitcoin.com. I don't have much, but I can contribute some funds to help with this cause if you'd be willing to budge on the price, a significant amount.
Dick move dude. You can say whatever you want. Selling fking protocol name dot com it's low. Try to reach out to jack and maybe sell it for 1mil or smth. This move weakens the protocol credibility very much. What if I buy it and I sell ... idk crap and you go to nostr.com and find adds aboute cotton covers for your ball sack? You are trying to wrap this under..." I need this, I have a problem" ...etc. This is a donatable domain. And sorry, until I see proof I don't belive you paied 5k for this domain.

If I am in fact a dick then surely the domain would be better managed by someone else? Roger Ver didn't sell his domain and he is a monster dick. Would it of been a dick move if he had sold to something better? It's about seeing if a person/company/project exists out there who are appropriate to pass onto. Likelihood is that there is not, so LNbits will officially manage after 20th, so I'm less of an attack vector. Either way, whatever comes next for the domain is better.
How on earth did I not see this 4 days ago? So it explains why #nostriches have been acting a bit strange to me #nostr for sale for 5M Sometimes people miss the point of finding gold on things that look like nothing, or presented in a vague manner Who knows, it might be for the better As for the 5M tag price, NGL but it is always the creator's right that must be respected, imho. No matter what the yadayadadash, why fuss over something you didn't create? You do you - create, build, sell is how things go, whether you like it or not There's always truth to the saying, "one man's trash is another man's gold" Nostr's is selling is not, will not, and I will not allow to, invade my peaceful, simplistic world. No nostr, no loss of happiness, but to the ones who might be directly or indirectly impacted, look at the bigger picture - do it first before you argue View quoted note โ†’
