PSA cashu.cash is not owned by anyone affiliated to the Cashu project. It was sniped by @npub1melv...5c24 who's squatting the domain ever since. @npub1melv...5c24 stated he would not transfer ownership of the domain to the open source project. The best thing would be to transfer ownership of the domain to me or anyone else in the Cashu project. If he won't do that (which he indicated) I wish him good luck with his domain of a project he doesn't contribute to and isn't affiliated with.

How is the .cash TLD an official representation of the cashu project? Not supporting domain squatting, but I can't help but find it an odd demand if it's an open source project. Would this have been said about any TLD with "cashu" in it?
Domains are shitcoins.

What would you have done? Put yourself in that situation. You are discussing domain names, and you go squat one up. Not any domain, but the one that the project actually wanted to take. Would you have kept it almost a year and told everyone afterwards? Would you have donated it to the project? Would you at least have explained your reasons why you acted the way you did? I know it's his domain, and there's no legal discussion here. I'm just struggling to see any good reasons why he did what he did.
