Isn't a farce that even they in predominantly wholesale auction have a minimum opening bid 3x or more what their own valuation is ? 🤪 It's really time for @GoDaddy to either invest & update their valuation algo or shoot it in back of the barn at once! The psychological anchor effect it has on the average buyers is detrimental to bread & butter everyday sales.
The also gave us in writing that our initial discount .com transfer price will remain untouched up to 10k and then switch late minute half way once we had already transferred several hundreds. Even the System still shows the agree discount price on the first checkout page and then switches to few cents discount. They change their policies with the wind and their word is not loyal! The gut says not to trust due to too many accumulative mirages. I simply don't trust the platform anymore and with reason!
@DavidSustiel@ArtenaPro Gname will create 73 pages , 12 buttons , 6 new tabs opening windows to confirm it's the same email for this new feature 😭😂 honestly if the name is not insanely unique and I have no choice maybe I'll bid there again, if not it's not worth the complex annoying experience!
One final update.
@MorganLinton has accepted the 5th and final seat on the Beanstalk Challenge judging panel.
I couldn’t think of a better person to complete this respected and trusted group.
The panel is now complete.
The builders will build.
The judges will judge.
And the results will speak for themselves.
I want to personally thank:
@MorganLinton@AndrewRosener@Castello_Bros@AmmarKubba@RonJackson
for accepting this responsibility and for the confidence they’ve shown in what we’re building.
Their willingness to lend their time, expertise, judgment, and credibility means a great deal both to me and the industry, and I’m grateful to have such a respected and trusted group guiding this process. 👏
Welcome aboard, Morgan, and thank you to all of our judges. 🌱

@Aladey You forgot @sedo 😭🥴 I got an email today I was laughing at how ridiculously stupid they could be as a platform. All broken, no chain of command, no tech modernization, whoever is in charge is a loser period. Read what it says, transaction will take 2-3 weeks to get funds 😂
Important Beanstalk Challenge Update:
I have decided to remove myself entirely from the judging process.
The winners will be selected by an independent panel of 5 respected leaders from our industry.
I am pleased to announce the first 4 judges:
Andrew Rosener @andrewrosener
David Castello @Castello_Bros
Ammar Kubba @AmmarKubba
Ron Jackson @DNJournal
One additional judge will be added in the coming days.
The purpose is simple.
I don’t want the winners chosen by me.
But the panel of esteemed judges was.
I want the winners chosen by people whose judgment, experience, and integrity are respected throughout the domain industry.
It’s about builders.
It’s about entrepreneurship.
It’s about execution.
It’s about turning opportunity into reality.
The builders will build.
The judges will judge.
And the results will speak for themselves.
Let the games begin.
Don't believe me… Just watch!

@BettyAiProject Perfectly said 👏👏 and couldn't be more true 😇 partners can often be more than a bad wedding as it's the same relationship obligations plus the livelihood in the middle 🥴 Ai is truly an equation changer 🧨
The one thing history teaches us is that barriers get broken by the people willing to step up. That’s it.
People either: step up, step back, or complain.
Most barriers are mental long before they are physical.
Yes, physical barriers exist, but even those are usually overcome first by mental strength.
Physical strength alone is never enough.
Olympians may be champions because of their physical gifts, but what gets them over the finish line is mental strength.
Willpower, Focus. Belief.
The refusal to quit.
Mental strength has proven throughout history to be one of the greatest forces humanity possesses. And when the Internet arrived, the people who won didn’t wait for permission.
They didn’t apply for jobs.
They assumed roles.
They simply stepped up and grabbed a tool.
They found a place to fit. A sector to plow. A direction to go. That’s exactly what’s happening again with AI right now.
Some people are frozen in fear.
Those are the next generation of complainers being born.
Others are stepping into the future and building it.

@Aladey Not always true, depends on many factors! Liquidate absolutely but what ? Irreplaceable assets or at least irreplaceable at close to same acquisition price? 🥴 it truly depends on the quality . Domains are unique like fingerprints.
@DomainIncite@GoDaddy Lesson: always external reliable like Gmail account email for domain accounts , only reliable way to always have access and receive renewal notices and other important notifications
@KehelAyyoub@KehelAyyoub I love what you did with the whole Arab domain academy 🪬 but posting $100 sales is like @GoDaddy posting when a customer hand regs a domain 🤣 I think the minimum sale worthy of posting is $500 at the very least. Posting $100 sales devalues IMO the industry!
Just acquired Mangala․com.
This is exactly the kind of domain name I love.
In Sanskrit and Indian contexts, Mangala can mean something auspicious, and it is also associated with Mars.
But in Turkish, Mangala is also the name of a traditional strategy board game in the Mancala family.
One word.
Multiple cultures.
Completely different meanings.
One powerful .com domain.
I have always been fascinated by domains like this.
I own Seine․com, which is the famous river flowing through Paris, while “seine” is also an English word for a fishing net.
I also own Muscat․com, which is the capital of Oman, while Muscat is also a famous sweet and aromatic grape variety.
With domains that have multiple meanings, choosing the right development direction can sometimes be difficult.
But with Mangala․com, the direction feels clear.
I plan to build it into an online game based on the rules of Turkish Mangala, with multiple language versions, and see whether it can become a game enjoyed by players around the world.
Maybe this will become my next https://t.co/YcL09zeSUv experiment.
And here is another reason I love this kind of project:
According to dotDB, “Mangala” is already registered in 52 extensions.
That means even if the development experiment does not work out as planned, the domain itself already has meaningful underlying value.
That is the beauty of Domain-Driven Development.
You start with a strong domain.
You build something real on it.
If it succeeds, you may create a valuable business.
If it fails, you still own a valuable digital asset.
Are there any other interesting meanings of “Mangala” that I missed?
Feel free to share!
