Topic: My domain name + your idea/business - page 2. (Read 390 times)

Also everything would obviously be done contractually and fairly.  The domain would be held in Escrow, and if certain conditions of the contract are reached then it would become the possession of the project.  If the project fails to honour the agreement, it's obviously not fair that I lose the domain.

But it won't be up to me, it will be up to the project.

Yeah that's the nature of any kind of business collaboration though.  There are implicit risks in doing business with anyone and working with anyone, but if you avoid all situations where you need to trust people you just end up never being successful either.

You can buy domains for $1/$10, and if you can get the right one for that price then that's the best option for sure.  I've built more than 10 websites/businesses and know the importance of the brand behind your site.

If you think that Coindesk would have become as big as it is today if it used the domain CryptoNewsSite.com instead then you need to learn a bit more about branding.  It is very important, it's why people pay so much for LLL.com domains - because they show authority.  Anyone can go right now and buy thousands of domains for $10 which have been registered before and people let them drop because they thought they could set up a business using that name, but then realised they couldn't.  How many times do you think that a domain like locallawyers.com or even lawyers.com has ever dropped?

That's what I was thinking as well - something like a cam site with crypto payments.  CoinDolly would suit that too.

I don't need the business ideas, I've already got plenty of my own.  I'm running 2 separate crypto businesses right now and in the process of launching another one that's going to be larger than the other two.

I've also been trading domains since about 2006 so I know what you're talking about with the domaining business - it's not what I'm interested in.  As mentioned, it's more because these names are just sitting there doing nothing atm, and if there happens to be startups in the crypto space looking for domains then it might be something that would work out.

I know why you're suspicious but "getting business ideas" really isn't that important without the resource and willpower to actually execute.  If I was fishing for ideas I'd just trawl this section of the forum 24/7

I would not take this idea if I can produce good content or great project I will just buy my own domain some domain only cost $1  it's not the name that attracts people it's the content or project or idea, I will not really own the content because there's a possibility of taking it down or disassociation, your project exists because the domain hosted it if there's a disagreement your content are all gone you can transfer your content but you will be starting all over again, while the domain just got a reputation in the search engine for hosting your project.

Coinmadam could be good as adult streaming platform where the streamers get paid in crypto

So in simple words, other than getting the business ideas you are also selling these domains ?  Buying domains and selling them expensive is already a good business ideas and I know few people who are making good earning from them. Some years back it was a very profitable online business but now most of the common domain names have already been taken.

Yeah I'm not trying to make bucks per se, I've got other projects I'm developing or running right now, so there's no urgent need to generate cash.  It's more wanting to help out legitimate projects, because I've been in the same situation and had to spend weeks to find domains for platforms before.  Also I might as well do something with them if a project does have a legitimate use for it - one of the worst things about domains are domain squatters that get a good name and then hold out for $500,000 when it's not worth $5,000, but is still a good name you'd love to use.

You're right, they're available in a lot of different tlds, but if you're going to launch a $10k+ app or website, you're not doing it with a .ws or .net.  .io is the only other extension which is even close to .coms, but with those there are certain situations they suit and situations they don't suit.

"Premium" is a subjective term as well nowadays with domains.  Sure, they aren't btc.com or even cryptotrading.com, but exact match domains only have limited SEO value today, and as you can see with cryptotrading.com, even though it is exact match it's hardly the ideal name from a branding point of view.  

You could say "coindesk" isn't a premium domain as well - but it's brandable, authoritative, and there are plenty of other similar examples as well.

For escrow I've used a few different providers in the past.

It's a fair point in the sense that .nets are available for many of these, but they were all dropcaught, not free reg'd.  If you go onto any sites like dan.com and search for "coin" + (viable single word).com domains, you won't find any for less than $1,000.

I tried to secure coincrush.com a few months ago, their price was $13,000 (unfortunately)... it's a good name for a range of different projects. 

cointube.com dropped about a month ago and sold instantly at auction for about $8k from memory.

You'd probably make more bucks selling your domain names, instead of trying to earn a percentage of the revenue generated.
There is nothing exceptional in, it's not premium domains and not sought and probably available in a lot of different TLDs

Via auctions or directly but it's better than zero.
What is the 3rd party you are thinking about?

coinrumble might be a good name for a crypto comparison site.

But give up a percentage of the company for $10?   Just register the .net  domain and keep all ownership.

Hi all, before I post this isn't an attempt to steal ideas, steal businesses or steal anything.  I have some good crypto domains, and am already setting up two of my own businesses and I thought I might as well see if anyone is trying to set something up but needs a good name/brand for it.

Some of the names I have:

coinhires.com
coinfuck.com
coinsurveys.com
coinmadam.com
coindolly.com
coinautopilot.com
coinpasswords.com
coinhostel.com
coinrumble.com
coinranked.com
cointipjar.com
coinbrewery.com
coindiplomas.com
coingals.com


If you have an idea for a business and are looking for a domain for your platform, I'm open to partnering. 

We can work out the details, but basically the way it would work is that in return for allowing the project to use the domain free of charge, I would receive a percentage of the company behind the project.

There would be options for me to liquidate my stake and to provide the domain to you with full ownership transferral.

If the project fails before the requirements for transferral as agreed ahead of time, I retain the domain.  Everything is done contractually, domain can be held in escrow according the agreement with a 3rd party mediating it and allowing the platform to use it for DNS etc in the mean time.

Serious people/projects only.  Test your project idea without having to outlay a cent to get the right domain upfront.
