It's a descending price auction. That's the highest price; it goes down with each day.

Re: First .dev Domains Go Live
#22There is one thing that annoys me about generic TLDs like .dev, .website, .cloud, .network etc. For example, Salesforce have https://crm.dev - are they the only CRM in the world? Hell no, but they're the biggest, so they can be the only one in the .dev space. Same with workers.dev.
What's your proposed alternative? That generic category names should be disallowed within a TLD? Or that some public or community-driven version of a for-profit service should control the generic names?

Some computer company gets to have apple.com, the car company does not have nissan.com, etc. etc.

Also as another commenter said, Trademark owners (GitHub, Slack, etc) could get their domains earlier at a lower price.

#26On a recent thread Google personnel mentioned that ICANN forces all domain providers to backup their data so that any domain provider going bankrupt won't affect domains. However there was no mention of what procedures Google Domains themselves have put in place to protect their customers in case their customers get irreversibly banned somewhere within Google's vast empire. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=191787…
The domains customers aren't tied to Google user accounts. You buy them from the regular registrars like Gandi.net or (heaven forbid) Godaddy, and use them from your dashboards there. You don't have to use a gmail address anywhere.

Okay I appreciate you're still willing to engage my snarky commentary, but I really really disagree that 12k is going to be a good barrier to enable people to "get the domain they really want". It enables people with money to do that.
It looks like someone looked at this and said "well 12 grand is affordable but not at scale so people will think twice" - no this is just impossible for some people and amplifying unequal distribution. People with this kind of money already have a "I can get 1000 of em" advantage at $12 a year. No need to give those people more of a head start.
This policy comes from a place of privilege and I despise it. Period.
What's next, ReCAPTCHA bypass if you have Google One? (Ha I say that like it's not already implicitly the case that RC trusts a well tracked Google user more.)
Re: First .dev Domains Go Live
#28I'd really like to see which .dev domains are getting registered at the higher prices. Is there any way to see a feed of this data?
In theory, you can get that here: https://dnpedia.com/tlds/daily.php (write "dev" in the TLD column)
Doesn't seem to have those listed in the top article, though, not sure why. Maybe it'll update later.
EDIT: The official source seems to be https://czds.icann.org/
