Good luck dude.
Too rich for me!
muy interesante
Then you get nostrnostrnostr.com
I’ll buy it for 5 million sats
A small price to pay for nostr dot com 🤣🤣🤣
3 times because i just supposed, as a joke, that some loony got the 2 times. I just checked it lmao
wut da fuck
I'll donate a million for this cause.
This isn’t the late 1990s, nobody is ever going to pay the equivalent of 200 BTC for a damn domain name.
Only 5m? 😂
will raise you 10 million bits
shitcoinery 🫣🤣
Cuaaaaaantoooooo?

View quoted note →respectfully: You are at least one nostr growth cycle too early with this request.
generally triggered by this post, not pricing the domain selling price in sats 💩
posting this shit now and not before riga tells a lot about the size of your balls 🤡
19,400,000,000 sats for a domain?
Bruh
It happens all the time.
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 ? 🤔
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.
🤙
69 cumrockets is the best I can do.
Final offer.
@npub10pen...n34f to buy for a reasonable price and be a community project domain?
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?
“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.
Not saying i agree with the price or the idea of selling it for that matter but it wouldn’t surprise me.
I'll give you 5.1m sats
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.
View quoted note →It really depends on the name. An obscure protocol name isn't that valuable.
What would you do with $4m? Buy half of Wales?
Huh? That's how selling things works. I set price, bunch of people send offers
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
🤣🤙 The uproar is honestly humorous to watch.
Did he sell? I'd be Roger ver if I kept it
5M 😆
I think the market analysis is if anyone values the domain more than $5m.
Yep, anything that can instantly be converted into bitcoin
Why? It's privately owned now, and I can't dedicate enough time to it. Let's see who offers
Because it is stupidly overpriced 😆
So people are not allowed to sell things they own? I'll be in prague and btc Amsterdam, so let's chat there 👍
Good point, whatever that is in sats would be preffered
It could sell relay services and nip5s to start.
Dude, I have spent years contributing to things for free, and will continue to do so. It's about the right vompany getting the name to do something useful with it.
You can get those for free 😆
"Hey, you control the nostr.com domain, right?
I want to set up a mailing list for Nostr-related stuff on there"
Manners, a please goes a long way
Yep
That's the minimal I could even consider selling, and to the right person/company/project
Damn you found my backup
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.
Fair
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
You are just a parasite, next to you, Jamie DIMON looks like Mother Theresa. 😆
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.
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. 😆
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)
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.
500K is 5+ years of my salary, so I guess count me out. But hopefully others would be interested and able.
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.
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
@semisol 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.
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 🎉

やっぱドメインの早い者勝ちの仕組み嫌だな
I’ll throw in a milly for the cause!
Too cheap for me, I'll have to pass. I value things when overpriced only, rich tax... ⭐
Good luck with the sale 🤞
#Siamstr 🇹🇭 #Nostr today | คุณ
@Ben Arc (จาก LNbits) ได้ทำการประกาศขายเว็บไซต์ nostr.com ในราคา 5 ล้านดอลลาร์ฯ (ราว 177 ล้านบาท) จากที่เคยซื้อมาในราคา 5 พันดอลฯ เท่านั้นในปี 2020 ถ้าขายได้ก็ฟันกำไร 1,000x แต่ถ้าขายไม่ได้ LNbits จะนำไปมช้ทำอย่างอื่นแทน เช่น ลีเรย์ หรือขาย NIP-05
และด้วยเหตุผลอะไรไม่ทราบ จู่ๆ แฮชแท็ก #datechain (หาคู่เดท) และ #yomamasofiat ก็ฮ็อตขึ้นมาซะงั้น (ไล่ค้นไปเจอต้นทางก็จะรู้เอง ผมเคยรีโพสต์ไปทีละ) ซึ่งปิรันย่าร่างทองของเราก็แจมไปแล้ว 2 รอบ

View quoted note →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.
😂 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.
View quoted note →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.
Artificial scarcity
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?
Aren’t you supposed to be a socialist? 😂😂😂
Tout dépend du secteur surtout en Europe
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
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 !?
Mdr
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
S'il vous plaît que puis-je dire pour vous convaincre de ne pas vendre
Suis quasiment sûre Jeff Bezos en immersion officielle depuis peu dans le protocole peut vous l'acheter en 1 seconde le potentiel de nostr est énorme je crains que la vente ait un effet néfaste sur la grande propension à créer de tant d'ingénieuses gens qui se sentent librement et volontairement dans un élan de créativités sans fin comme les Dieux du World Earth Catalog tel que Stewart Brand
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

Ben Arc
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.
