PSA cashu.cash is not owned by anyone affiliated to the Cashu project. It was sniped by nostr:nprofile1qqsdulkdrc5hdf4dktl6taxmsxnasykghdnf32sqmnc7w6km2hhav3gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyee0qyqq78r794 who's squatting the domain ever since. nostr:nprofile1qqsdulkdrc5hdf4dktl6taxmsxnasykghdnf32sqmnc7w6km2hhav3gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyee0qyqq78r794 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.
You can't expect all cashu domains to be gifted to you, and public shaming/witch hunting doesn't help your cause.

Offer some money for it.
"give me this"... "no"... "okay, I will shame you", isn't the way.
He has also been active in the Cashu group for a good while.
I'd apologise then help him do something good with it, or negotiate a price.

It's obvious you havent followed the situation. Looking into it, its hard not to attribute bad faith to Carvalho.
Why? It's his domain. He's been involved in cashu since the beginning, has built cashu things. Whats the bar for "contributor"? as excluding him excludes 95% of the Cashu community. Trying to bully him out of his domain is lame.
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.
