Several registrars are already selling general availability pre-orders. Does anyone know how this works? I have a feeling that, when the general availability period begins, if multiple people pre-ordered the same one, all but one of them are going to get screwed. Do they at least refund you?
If you really want a name badly, pony up more to get it sooner and beat out those other people.
Google registry indicates Namecheap is a preferred partner and supports .ing: https://www.registry.google/register-a-domain/ Yet when I go to Namecheap and attempt to register a .ing, it tells me "unsupported TLD." Which is it?
Nobody is actually doing anything interesting with these. It all seems to be marketing landing pages intended to direct you to the real URL.
Now wait a second, that's not at all true. In my experience there are armies of people who use them to launch targeted phishing attacks at my business if they buy the goddamn thing before I do.
At a certain point if you are lucky enough to have a business that's worth targeting, every new gTLD is just another fuck.ing security expense.

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.

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.
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…
