So is the way this works that Google pays a bunch of money to ICANN, and then they get the .ing TLD, and can make money by selling individual .ing domains? Is there like a bidding process that ICANN uses to decided who gets the TLD in the first place?

Great. There's a Dutch bank called ING. I can't wait for all the phish.ing to start. IMHO all those new TLDs are just a huge mistake and a blatant money-grab.

or maybe they'll buy a whole bunch of insult domains imveryunhappywith.ing dontuse.ing, yourmotherhasapreferenceformassagetoolsfrom.ing

that's so insult.ing

I've reached generic TLD fatigue. There's a new one each week. I regularly buy domains with OVH since they have a wide array of TLDs at a good price[0]. Over the years I let many of them expire because either 1) I let my dreams die, or 2) I couldn't afford to renew it. Mostly it's because I let my dreams die, not financial shortcomings though.

That's a very succint way of putting it. Exotic TLDs are completely unecessary to deliver content. The more that exist, the harder it is to remember them, which is counter to the entire point of DNS.

I checked for cod.ing and they said it was available. I got my hopes up and went to Godaddy. It costs over $38,000. I guess in some ways that’s good because the purchaser would more likely be someone who wants to launch a legit business or project rather than a squatter. But as others have pointed out, this whole thing is a blatant money grab.

> Starting today, you can register .ing domains as part of our Early Access Period (EAP) for an additional one-time fee. This fee decreases according to a daily schedule until December 5

Mobile app is already first class citizen at ING in some EU countries. One is unable to make transactions or even is locked out completely from all online channels after losing access to their mobile app, or if their app simply stops responding on tapping the "Confirm" button. Web is merely second class citizen. No idea how they arrived to this retarded architectue. Submitting any kind of architectural feedback to a…

> No idea how they arrived to this retarded architecture 2FA is known to increase security drastically. It's easy to understand why it's a good idea. EU banks in particular do this because 2FA for banks is mandated by a EU level directive. > Submitting any kind of architectural feedback to a bank is hopeless and helpless, these fuckers always know better. In this case they clearly do.

There are lots of options for 2FA that don't require me to install a bloated and buggy app that only supports one bank.

Well, fuck.ing costs only $12,999.99/yr.

Remember when fuck.yu became fuck.me ?
