How is preventing a person from transferring out their domain + setting it to expire quickly effectively any different from outright cancelling a persons domain immediately? The end result is the same. Sure there is a technical distinction in the WHOIS but I can see how a court could find it to be the same thing in spirit(and thus, a violation of the ICANN-registrar agreement)
>I can see how a court
Wild and unbased speculation. In fact, there have been lawsuits around de-platforming that haven't gone well for the plaintiff - I can't imagine a more cut and dry scenario would make it easier :)
>Sure there is a technical distinction in the WHOIS
Now you're getting it.

When you sign up for Namecheap, you are acknowledging that they can change their TOS at any time and can effectively revoke ownership of any domain you own at-will. This is the same for pretty much everyone, unless you're buying straight from ICANN.

#75Hey thanks, GoDaddy for releasing a statement[0] instead of fixing the problem. They literally choose this over siding with the customer and their lawyer. [0] https://aboutus.godaddy.net/newsroom/company-news/news-detai...
Crypto scam victim detected. Eth.link was lying about being decentralized.

#76Dumb question: what make this domain “Web3”?

Then certain domains would become impossible to change as soon as someone loses their keys or dies etc.
That's not a grounded argument.
What in the world are you talking about? That's the entire point of blockchains, to have immutable records. And short of forking the blockchain or breaking the underlying encryption, there's literally no way to transfer a DNS record (in a world using DNS built on top of a blockchain) without the private key.

#78Giving a totally new dimension to "bus factor". No organization should tie their infrastructure maintenance to individuals, but processes are really hard to consolidate and automate and knowledge is not easily shared either. Curious as to how other people approach reducing their bus factor.
But this is not a problem with a decentralized system! ...oh wait...

> you don't own your domain name You never do, authority over a DNS zone is a service that is provided to you.
I think with web3 naming services (like ENS), regular people can actually own domains, since there is no service provider besides the blockchain
> no service provider
Yes, there is, its this guy, and he is in prison now and can't do it anymore. This is the problem.

It actually isn't, with proper backups and/or social recovery types of auth.
