#42There are already very successful domain trading platforms around ( http://www.sedo.com ). I can't really figure out what namebox's unique value proposition is.

Why not just use escrow? https://www.escrow.com/services/domain-and-website-escrow.as...
It's "escrow.com", not "escrow". They try to do a funky thing with their logo to separate the escrow part of it from .com, but they aren't brash enough to leave off the suffix. If they did, I don't think it would fly. I searched for "escrow.com" reviews and found some negative ones. So there's one reason why someone might not use it.

#44Domain squatting made easy?
Yeah, that was my reaction as well. Why legitimize and enable domain squatting?

#45Make "Browse domains" more prominent, not just in the footer. Have domains under that somehow ranked. I'd suggest having price listed on click or on visit, so you can grab on that data. Remove "any amount" - that's psychology 101.
(plug & rant pending) I'm firmly believing synthmeat.com will some day be worth much - http://namebox.io/dsirijus - so I'm squatting. Why is there a negative sentiment about that? It's an investment, like any other.

>because, like me, they probably have tens of domains they don't plan on ever using. So, you mean, small-scale squatters are okay; large-scale squatters are not?

#50Million dollars for unwanted domain? This could work so much better if you could only ask below the registration price.

Also a simple DNS that I could point the domain to and it would serve a simple page stating the price and linking to namebox.io.
