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.

Good luck ☺️

Good luck dude.

Too rich for me!

Then you get nostrnostrnostr.com

3 times because i just supposed, as a joke, that some loony got the 2 times. I just checked it lmao

Damn you found my backup

muy interesante

I’ll buy it for 5 million sats

I'll donate a million for this cause.

I’ll throw in a milly for the cause!

A small price to pay for nostr dot com 🤣🤣🤣

wut da fuck

This isn’t the late 1990s, nobody is ever going to pay the equivalent of 200 BTC for a damn domain name.

It happens all the time.

If there’s a massive company or venture capital involved, sure, but nostr.com doesn’t really justify what cars.com was valued at $872 million a decade ago. That company earns almost $700 million a year. What’s the potential ROI on a website that doesn’t sell anything?

Not saying i agree with the price or the idea of selling it for that matter but it wouldn’t surprise me.

It really depends on the name. An obscure protocol name isn't that valuable.

It could sell relay services and nip5s to start.

You can get those for free 😆

Okay, for the sake of argument, the nostr.wine relay costs 18888 sats, or around $5 flat-fee. You'd need to sell a million subscriptions just to break even on the cost of the domain name before factoring in operating costs. That's a tall order for a protocol that currently has maybe 10,000 active users. It's great to have big dreams, though. Maybe someone will figure out a viable business plan, but I echo what nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj and others have said that the name should not be owned by a company operated for profit because of the risks of becoming co-opted and centralized.

Tout dépend du secteur surtout en Europe

Only 5m? 😂

will raise you 10 million bits

respectfully: You are at least one nostr growth cycle too early with this request.

No, it's worth a lot more. Needs must, times change, etc. If I could keep it forever I would. Had 3 offers so far, 2 I turned down, one they are getting back to me with more details. Needs to be the right person.

generally triggered by this post, not pricing the domain selling price in sats 💩

Good point, whatever that is in sats would be preffered

posting this shit now and not before riga tells a lot about the size of your balls 🤡

So people are not allowed to sell things they own? I'll be in prague and btc Amsterdam, so let's chat there 👍

19,400,000,000 sats for a domain?

Bruh

Technically #nostr is not a company so dot com is meaningless.

And it's not the dot come era anymore.

A lot of other more suitable nostr domains are available.

Can I pay in ETH ? 🤔

Yep, anything that can instantly be converted into bitcoin

Enjoyed listening to a recent #podcast with you on The Bitcoin Takeover.

Smart move to edit out the “roger ver” joke from your bio before you posted this. Wouldn’t be as funny now that it’s come true.

Good luck with the sale but I think #nostr is gonna be fine regardless.

🤙

Did he sell? I'd be Roger ver if I kept it

69 cumrockets is the best I can do.

Final offer.

nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f to buy for a reasonable price and be a community project domain?

“it’s [sic] value is at least x1000” is the equivalent of “trust me bro.” Where is the market analysis to justify your asking price? The seemingly arbitrary value you’ve chosen and your method of communicating this decision are quite disappointing.

Huh? That's how selling things works. I set price, bunch of people send offers

🤣🤙 The uproar is honestly humorous to watch.

Because it is stupidly overpriced 😆

That's the minimal I could even consider selling, and to the right person/company/project

You are just a parasite, next to you, Jamie DIMON looks like Mother Theresa. 😆

Okay 👍, years of contributing for free and I'm "just a parasite". If the right person/team/project isn't found LNbits will manage.

What you did doesn’t absolve you from being a greedy parasite. Own up to it. You might get lucky. Might. 😆

I think the market analysis is if anyone values the domain more than $5m.

Yep

I'll give you 5.1m sats

I'll give you half a pack of smokes and a bag of chips.

I don't think the domain name for an open protocol is worth that much.

Is html.com worth 5 mil? I'd guess not.

In any case, HTML is way more well known and used as a protocol.

The whole point of an open protocol is that it's difficult to monetize because that requires locking it down and milking it.

What would you do with $4m? Buy half of Wales?

Alas no, those London work from home folks have invaded and pushed prices up. I'm priced out, and need the 4m for ex council house

Fair

Faites vous financer s'il vous plaît je pense que des nostriches seraient prêts à vous appuyer sans intérêts en retou. Vous seriez en France je me demenerais pour trouver toutes les niches cachées j'ai pas encore testé des cofinancements aussi énormes en coûts hors secteurs bancaires . Actuellement rien qu'en ligne je donne des infos sur les possibilités de cofinancements à mon petit frère sur 2 pays peu exploités en ressources en Afrique de l'Ouest avec des financeurs qui prendraient sur 10% à termes

Given the very bad reception of this note, I'd say your domain name has lost value, not gained. Whoever end up buying this will be crowned clown of nostr, it's bad marketing for a company.

At the moment it's owned by just me, it needs team of people to make this site as useful as it should be.

And ifs not the right team/people/company isn't found LNbits willmanage it. I don't see the issue

Pourquoi pas Bezos ou Arnaud, Musk Gates...pendant qu'on y est nostr me fait penser à www de Tim Bernes-Lee il l'aurait vendu où est-ce que nous en serions aujourd'hui !?

Oh, well ... I guess I could say the same about nostr.info

Your asking price got me thinking but I'm pretty sure you're reaching here. Nostr is cool and stuff but $5 million for a domain?

why is it always the commies that pull this shit?

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.

Of course! A foundation of some sorts would be ideal, halve the price if that can be achieved 👍 (500k each will still go to Jaffy and lnbits)

500K is 5+ years of my salary, so I guess count me out. But hopefully others would be interested and able.

Pourquoi vendre nostr.com qui est pour moi tel qu'internet c'est comme si Tim Bernes-Lee avait dès le départ qu'il s'enrichirait avec www . Rejetez cette idée s'il vous plaît combien d'éminents gens ont créé pour nous tous gratuitement . Nous vous en remercirons pour l'éternité

We could boost a mega Zapraiser of 200 BTC to reach this goal and hand over the domain to a federation of gatekeepers. There are responsibilities that must transcend time and individuals.

For that, price would be halved (but Jaffy/lnbits will still get 500k each)

I understand Ben and I respect your work very much. Hopefully a solution can be reached that benefits the protocol.

What will prob happen is right person/project/company won't be found and LNbits will manage.

Nostrchy.com , nostrepublic.com & nostrosphere.com for sale. package deal. Get all 3 for 100,000,000 sats. No low balls. I know what I have. & There are no superficial altruistic requirements. I will sell out to literally any douchebag on the nostrosphere. (Not joking)

I do not understand how money works but I am good for at least 5 million face licks.

I guess it’s all yours then 🎉

nostr:note1vafcer4kv58928x986lph6krjtmml2j6zn25lxz7yaygg79tustq6u6tan

やっぱドメインの早い者勝ちの仕組み嫌だな

Too cheap for me, I'll have to pass. I value things when overpriced only, rich tax... ⭐

Good luck with the sale 🤞

😂 Very slick how you managed to make a sale giving you $4M about how you're just trying to do the best thing for the community. Truly sublime 🙇

Kdyby jste si chtěli koupit doménu nostr.com, je k dispozici za 5 milionů dolarů.

nostr:note1vafcer4kv58928x986lph6krjtmml2j6zn25lxz7yaygg79tustq6u6tan

If he doesn't sell can I take it?

I'll give you 5m sats for it.

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.

S'il vous plaît que puis-je dire pour vous convaincre de ne pas vendre

🤭

Artificial scarcity

Aren’t you supposed to be a socialist? 😂😂😂

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
