ENS

bizaroo933

I have a question here. How come whenever ETH pumps or dumps ENS (Ethereum Name Service) does the same?

People trying to do things video games already do with crypto are stupid, and people buying into these ideas are stupid. When people can, and will, just print new 'land' and print new profile pictures and print new collectibles of any kind, they're bound to return to being worthless. The appeal of digital land is that it's exclusive, but it's not when you can just infinitely print new land. The only way to actually make it appealing is if it's done in combination with something that had built in appeal already, like the ENS naming craze. It's not easy to replicate ENS, so it's a standard for crypto naming on the eth blockchain. There's potential for places to adopt ENS naming, like twitter, or other platforms (think Steam, email, etc) and serves as a solution to a problem. We all want to have a consistent online identity across different games and platforms, but we can't because we have to make new names on every new thing. If ENS became a naming standard, your name would always be your name everywhere on the internet. There's appeal to that. A piece of land in an empty metaverse has no appeal. There's no logical connection toward anything else adopting metaverse land.

The proposed OAv2 standard is asset-agnostic just like OAv1 since records are stored as DNS TXT records (instead of in the blockchain, like with ENS*), and these records are purposefully in a format to allow any asset to be used with them (unlike solutions aimed at only one blockchain, which might be prefixed by something like `bitcoin:`). Example OAv1 records: > oa1:btc recipient_address=1FhnVJi2V1k4MqXm2nHoEbY5LV7FPai7bb; recipient_name=Monero Development; > > oa1:xmr recipient_address=888tNkZrPN6JsEgekjMnABU4TBzc2Dt29EPAvkRxbANsAnjyPbb3iQ1YBRk1UXcdRsiKc9dhwMVgN5S9cQUiyoogDavup3H; recipient_name=Monero Development; Example OAv2 records: > oa2 btc:btc address=bip352:sp1qqfk0ag4gmq87agdy8lawrlt2mf3p8myhkuxgp5s7kdck4ywwg7mjjqc2wmmtfddvevmjnlv4klmgsx4g79rr998d20r5vmxera5f2a54nu5h496v; > > oa2 usdc:base address=0x4838B106FCe9647Bdf1E7877BF73cE8B0BAD5f97; > > oa2 xmr address=888tNkZrPN6JsEgekjMnABU4TBzc2Dt29EPAvkRxbANsAnjyPbb3iQ1YBRk1UXcdRsiKc9dhwMVgN5S9cQUiyoogDavup3H; OAv2 is more flexible because it supports priority records (eg: please pay me USDC on BASE but everything else on POLY unless the sender only supports the ETH network, then ETH) and metadata records (images, usernames, descriptions, etc). It allows for optional flexibility and thoroughness. These more robust options are detailed in the GitHub pull request that I linked. \* ENS has some implementations that use DNS TXT records as well. They've come full circle, lol.

You came in at the right time. Another bull run awaits us and all you have to do is invest in quality projects. BTC & ETH, USDT or any stable should take 50% of your portfolio while other blue chips such as SOL, BNB, and NEAR. The other 20% should move to high-utility projects outside the top 100. ENS, API3, and exSat are a few examples.

feydreutha

I know that but it seems to not rebound very well, there is a general downtrend. I prefer trading on ENS for the moment it seems a bit more lateral.

Lexsteel11

I was lucky with the ENS airdrop that I didn’t hear about it for a week; I sold as soon as I realized I got airdropped $20k but had I found out a week earlier, I would have sold before it went up a lot lol. Ignorance hodl FTW

Funnyurolith61

You gotta buy the ENS name Bonkillionaire bro

flint16

I own açaí.eth ENS. In need of cash, wondering if anyone would be interested. Let me know if anyone has an offer, would accept basically anything!

MaxSmart1981

Why on earth is ENS up 40% in the last week?

jimmybirch

Here's hoping... I do own some ENS, so the more utility the better, though it doesn't seem to need it right now!!

paulchen81

Nice to see ENS doing something.

FannyH8r

That just offers me to send it to a different place via (ENS, cb.id or address)

Background_Thing6657

This is great I would like to see a RAY ETF too and an ENS one

ZodiacManiac

Simple but an ENS name for $5 a year and you’re protected.

***'Cheaper'*** is already happening, rollup transactions are less than $0.01: https://l2fees.info/ - and future upgrades will continue to push this lower. In terms of ***'faster'*** the area to watch is based preconfirmations: https://github.com/cairoeth/preconfirmations - these will allow L2 transactions to effectively be confirmed in timeframes down to 0.1s - which is going to be fast enough for just about any normal use case. > and 10,000 times simpler. I think we're almost there to be honest, have a read about Coinbase's Smart Wallet: https://www.coinbase.com/en-gb/blog/a-new-era-in-crypto-wallets-smart-wallet-is-here Onboarding without having to record seed phrases, links directly to your Coinbase exchange balances if you don't want to self-custody and works like a normal wallet if you do, and allows gasless transactions through paymasters. This all works through account abstraction, which if you aren't familiar with is a benefit you can get through smart contract wallets, as explained really well by Visa (who are also working on it): https://usa.visa.com/solutions/crypto/rethink-digital-transactions-with-account-abstraction.html And talking about Visa, there is now also a way to have your self-custodial onchain funds spendable directly with a Visa card via Gnosis Pay: https://gnosispay.com/, which even lets you have your ENS name as the name on your physical card. No need to move funds from your wallet to an exchange and then trade them for fiat if you want to spend them. Things are getting much simpler if you're paying attention!

_ships

I saw you grab that! Gotta love that ENS wallet 😉

TheDudiful

Hey, Rosco here, the creator of [Revoke.cash](http://Revoke.cash), just ran into this thread. Besides all the excellent answers in this thread I just want to add that you \*don't\* need to connect your wallet straight away, you can just enter your wallet address or ENS name into the big search bar on the landing page.

YouCanBet0nIt

Heh I thought you were joking, was 100% sure I'm eligible for the airdrop as I had over 10k worth staked for years, activated l2, bought ENS domain etc. Nope, not a single token. Good time to unstake and sell it all, fuck them

MinimalGravitas

> NFT’s are a mostly a get rich quick scam. I think that's only true for the simplest type of NFTs - tradable pictures, but there loads of applications of NFTs that are well used but you might just not think of them as 'NFTs', for example: * ENS (Ethereum Name Service) - plenty of people prefer to have an easily human readable designation for their wallet address, both to make transferring assets easier, and as a way to build on-chain reputation. Rather than send crypto from an exchange to 0x123456789abcde..., which leaves you vulnerable to malware that hijacks your clipboard if copy/pasting, or simple user error if typing addresses manually, you could instead send to 'tslat3.eth'. * POAPs - if you ever attend a conference or hackathon or other crypto meetup then you're likely to encounter Proof Of Attendance Protocol. These are free NFTs than anyone can issue to anyone else that work kind of like a diary or the old badges that travelers in the last century used to sew onto their luggage/blankets etc. Just as nice record of where you've been, what meetings you participated in, who you met etc. They don't have any financial value, but are one of the most loved NFT types among Ethereum natives. * Uniswap concentrated liquidity positions - since V3 if you want to add liquidity to Uniswap you can designate a particular range to be active in, allowing a smaller value to provide proportionally higher returns if accurately placed in the liquidity curve. This means that everyone's contribution to the liquidity is potentially differently specified and so the data on your share (and therefore the ability to withdraw it) is represented in your wallet as an NFT. Uniswap are of course not the only DeFi protocol to make use of NFTs, but they are probably the most well known example. > The coins that have the best future are the ones with a limited supply, otherwise you have the same problem as fiat currencies, where you literally dillute the supply and value away. I'd suggest that this is a somewhat simplistic take as well. Some coins like ether do not have a limited supply, but instead are deflationary over time. There is no hard limit on how many ETH can exist, and more are issued each block, but on average more are burned through transaction fees than are created and so the supply reduces, meaning that holding the asset gives you a higher percentage share of the total over time rather than being diluted. Other than those couple of small points though, I'd say your directionally correct on most of your assessment!

Justaboywandering

That’s true . But eventually it’s a matter of time where they will push out the old wallet and encourage the public to the new wallet . Think about it. Because what about ENS? They can’t even transfer the ENS. You have to create a new ENS. And it will be confusing to the public . Two same ENS but on different network . Eventually they will change direction again

Taschentuch9

Getting an ENS domain. Cost me 50€, got me 20k

DeaderthanZed

Yeah the key is *organic* activity. Base will probably succeed due to coinbase and then maybe arbitrum or some other gaming focused L2s. Nearly all the others are not unique, don’t need to be their own chain, and exist only for VCs to exit. Even ENS is doing its own chain now, why?

Ohnoskies

Hah, I love setting up my points. You can in fact Attach a moniker to a wallet. Check out Ethereum Naming Service (ENS). Just makes your Addy a .eth. Yes and clearly with crypto you can see ALL the txn clearly. You want a refund? You can still get one provided the merchant does any refund. But in the case you're talking, I covered that with NFTs. You don't get sent a dud board because they check for quality before it's shipped. It INCENTIVIZES good behavior. In otherwords, if they send 1 too many knockoffs, they'll just be outta business as someone more reputable and consistent Will put out the product. You guys are moving like dinosaurs rn. I send you a dud, you notice, I just swap you out and sell to the next guy. He doesn't notice then i win. You'll mark it as Quality service cuz they got yours fixed but they won't be changing practices bc it won't matter because you can afford the mistake and ot doesn't hurt them. What's the incentive to me selling you air if I only get one sale.

paulchen81

This would be amazing. Same i hope for ENS.

Kukurio59

I bought ENS cause Ethereum ETF is approved

Successful-Mode473

No airdrop beats ENS or UNI, at least personally. Both netted me ~5 ETH each, for being a one time user.

o_teu_sqn

There's one thing called ENS where you can out your adress name like this "example".eth Just register one and you will never have this problem

MinimalGravitas

Most of the time I've spent on crypto has been interesting, so even ignoring financial gains feels like time well spent. I've learned a lot more about Linux through setting up nodes, first for Bitcoin and then Ethereum (and now Optimism). I've learned more about coding while making simple tools to query the chain through those nodes, and then through figuring out the basics of smart contracts, and how to use Git and Github. I've learned more about encryption through wanting to understand hashing and Elliptical Curve Cryptography. I've learned about the challenges and solutions for decentralized governance through participation as a delegate and citizen in the Optimism collective. I've learned about different public goods mechanisms like quadratic and retroactive funding, through things like Gitcoin, Giveth, OP's RetroPGF and the excellent GreenPill podcast. And most recently I've spent 10 weeks on the Ethereum Protocol Study Group, learning how the network actually operates. All of that has been very fulfilling, just because it always feels good to stretch your understanding and study interesting topics. Then on top of that, learning about how things work fosters curiosity, and so I've played with lots of interesting protocols in the ecosystem, leading to airdrops from projects like ENS etc that far exceeded the value of the total amount of fiat I've ever invested into crypto. Additionally, understanding a bit about how things work has given me at least some ability to spot things that wont, meaning that ['touch wood'] I've never fallen for traps like Terra/Luna etc. > What motivates you to try so hard? As well as it being interesting, I also really think that a lot of good can come from from building trustless, open, permissionless financial networks. I'm still a believer that what is being built here has the potential to ['Slay Moloch'](https://www.bankless.com/ethereum-slayer-of-moloch-) and that that is the real point of, well all of this. A couple of years ago I wrote a piece called 'What it means to win', which later got read into a video in the Regen Library. The figures quoted are obviously not current, and the references to 'Ministry for the Future' won't be meaningful if you haven't read the book, but it still represents the basic vibe of why I am in this space and why I think it's worth putting effort into it. https://youtu.be/VKHmtc-2iVM So many people in crypto get sucked into the financial nihilism of zero-sum games and bullshittery, but basically all of that is a trap that leads to pump-n-dump scams, fake 'memecoin communities' trying to convince each other to buy each other's bags. If you can avoid being manipulated by that very visible and persuasive subset of the ecosystem then crypto becomes a much more interesting and rewarding space.

SunliMin

Honestly, this type of UX issue is what I love looking at HIVE for. It's the equivalent of merging ENS with your address. You have private key(s) to control your account, but rather than a public address, on signup you register a human readeable handle as your address. So when I send something to laserglare, I literally would put as the recipient "@laserglare" rather than 0x1c44E1fc87FBD6153e075B245136F8503b423922. I love ENS, but it's opt-in, costs gas fees to setup, and its not a replacement for addresses, it's just a way to resolve an address from a human readeable name. Support for it in wallets is subpar and will never be quite good enough.

Kevin3683

I’m doing so much with ENS I need to stop

Thezootmister

Bro could’ve solved all this by having an ENS

diskowmoskow

ENS (name service) and LENS (social layer) for me, not joking.

Kevin3683

Use an ENS domain name. Its so much easier

askmenothing007

get a ENS or Bonfida domain ...

Awkward_Potential_

ENS didn't have any KYC. What's an example that you're thinking of? Because this is basically just ENS on Ordinals.

Awkward_Potential_

Will you need to kyc to use this? Sounds more like an ENS kind of thing.

Kevin3683

On another related note, GWEI is so cheap. I’ve been wrapping ENS domains and adding avatars. It’s a great time to renew them and also make moves in liquidity pools. Take this opportunity to use crypto.

dannygladiolas

NFTs have an active open market and different use cases, even Vitalik has his own ENS nft.

mrjune2040

Mate, that was years ago. If you owned ENS domains back then you got some.

mrjune2040

Yeah- exactly this. Separating out market cap from use case is important- governance just isn't a big value driver. I was airdropped 20k worth when it was released, sold 90% of those tokens, and kept just a handful- but I don't expect fast and years appreciation anytime soon. I love ENS though- it's still one of the best (functional) utilities on Ethereum, and it's important to me personally in terms of proving/claiming identity in web3 business transactions.

jimmybirch

It's one of the few use cases that really works well... I have had an ENS for a year or so now and feel so comfortable using it for TXs. The token itself doesn't have that much value (just governance, iirc?), but that doesn't really mean much in cryptoland.

WoodenInformation730

I like it too. There's a decentralized Reddit alternative that uses them for naming subs. For example https://seedit.eth.limo/#/p/plebmusic.eth They also support SNS, which is basically ENS on Solana.

couchguitar

I like ENS. You should check out Handshake.org

Kevin3683

I’ve been renewing and registering ENS domains like crazy. I love when gas is this low.

ToddRossDIY

Thanks I was finally able to renew my ENS domain for a reasonable cost

I_Hate_Reddit_69420

ENS domains have an actual use

phatangus

Don't forget ENS domains that also had their pump.

phatangus

But is holding BAYC NFTs still better than ENS domains?

etj103007

So what's the difference of this service with other name services, like ENS for example? https://addrs.to/etj

No-Elephant-Dies

Good concept, and informative post. Any relation with (or inspiration from) ENS? My addrs: nedned

dannygladiolas

You can get an ENS .Uni for free in the Uniswap app.

jawni

You can actively search them out, but I've found that I'll qualify for most of the good ones just by trying out different things. For example, I qualified for the JUP airdrop just by using it for swaps, I qualified for the ENS airdrop because I bought an ENS domain, qualified for ARB because I used it for various things. I've qualified for some airdrops just because of what NFT's I own or coins I own (and/or stake). tldr: you'll get plenty of airdrops just by being active on the chains that have the most builders (in my estimation it's ETH, SOL, and Cosmos)

jawni

Just from using the wormhole bridge, qualified for the same amount from both my Solana wallet and my Ethereum (EVM) wallet. I'd say 90% of my airdrops are $1000+ and didn't require much of my own money to qualify(nor did they require much effort). JTO, DYM, JUP, ENS, ARB, etc. Next airdrop I'm getting is NIM, which I qualified for by staking part of second to last airdrop which was DYM, which I qualified for by holding a prominent NFT. It just kind of snowballs like that sometimes.

frozengrandmatetris

why do you think that market cap means bitcoin won? I don't think market cap means it won, or that it's a game where somebody wins and everybody else loses. I'm honestly not sure where this idea came from. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exclusivism if I look at DNMs, something that people actually use and get utility out of, people avoid bitcoin and use monero instead. that doesn't mean monero "won" in the arena of DNMs. it means that the users "won," because they are using something that meets their needs. brave browser supports ENS and SNS out of the box, and bitcoin has failed to deliver an alternative DNS database. does that mean ethereum and solana "won" in the arena of alternative DNS? it doesn't. it means that people who need an alternative DNS won because they have something they can use. this whole "I win, you lose" mentality and the idea that anything bitcoin can't do doesn't matter is just circular reasoning. this is why you get compared with religious nutjobs. I don't know how you haven't figured it out yet, but a lot of people aren't just involved in cryptocurrency so they can sit on their coins and stare at the price ticker like it's their pet goldfish. I would be absolutely delighted with anything that gives me utility even if it doesn't go up in value. cryptocurrency doesn't exist solely to make people rich through speculation.

83nno

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but can’t you use a ENS domain for this? Instead of sending to a bunch of random letters and numbers as your wallet address, they send to fishyflu.eth or whatever you choose. You can have multiple currencies on that address too.

ToddRossDIY

So this is only for L2s, doesn't make the L1 chain any cheaper? I just want to renew my ENS domain without spending 3 times the renewal cost on gas

Theycallmebibbo

Buy your ENS domain, link it to your wallet, and at least you can cross out one of your fears

RC-5

What’s wrong with ENS?

neitze

The landscape since you wrote your thesis has changed immensely and putting up a veil of previously attained knowledge to cast forward outlook in an ever adapting marketplace is 'boomer logic,' junior. Don't take my snide remarks to heart. I'm just messing with ya. Always appreciate an informed discussion on the topic though if you're open to it - and aren't convinced your previous conclusions are immutable. Public perception has changed immensely in just the last few months, especially at the relative top. [This](https://twitter.com/newstart_2024/status/1766434032424727025?t=wVnbicKZmRDRdon8HKRcNw&s=19) is evidence of a complete 180 on the narrative being spun around BTC since its inception (aside from those akin to the cypher punks movement). It's not unreasonable to think centralized mobile payment solutions use BTC as an underlying asset. It may not look like the transfer of crypto as we typically think of it today, most the noobs in this space are just speculating, but it is increasingly painless to send various cryptographic funds to outside parties using things similar to ENS, onboarding users through Google accounts like with Immutable Passport, or using apps like Bitpay to cover bills. I know I'd rather have my preferred means of exchange impartial to some fat cats trying to squeeze $100 out of 15 cents.

ZodiacManiac

You’ll make it.. Crypto is a long term hobby and if you do it right it will take up a lot of your time. Most of my crypto is gained through surprise airdrops from just using stuff. Uniswap ENS domains… running test nets or validators. Example 390 days ago I decided that AI would be big.. I use MidJourney. Though awesome.. I invested in three FET AGIX and ALI. They all went way down… two are now well up and ALI is 1/3 of its value. I didn’t invest a massive amount. I decided on $700 per “punt” … then just sat out and waited. I’m not recommending these at all now.. I have no idea how they will perform and didn’t a year ago. I just thought AI is interesting.

Osiris64

Wow, ICP, ENS, THETA, all holding well despite such huge swings down from BtC and others

The news is on brazilian portuguese, so here's a basic summary in english: - His wallet is linked to ENS (Ethereum Name Service) and can be tracked in real time. - The first person to notice the scam was a [brazilian public prosecutor specialist in crypto transactions](https://www.instagram.com/alexandresenra_/) and notified the youtuber in his instagram. - The youtuber received a fake email about Blast airdrop tokens, then clicked in "claim tokens" button and lost all his wallet funds. - The scammers transfered the funds to NFT and DeFi platforms.

tldr; The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) has resolved its dispute over the eth.link domain with Manifold Finance by agreeing to a $300,000 settlement. This decision, approved by the ENS DAO with 88% in favor, allows ENS Labs to retain the domain name while dropping its lawsuit. Additionally, ENS Labs will receive a $750,000 reimbursement for legal expenses. This settlement concludes an 18-month conflict involving lawsuits against Manifold and domain registrars GoDaddy and Dynadot, ensuring ENS Labs keeps the eth.link domain crucial for supporting ".eth" ENS-based domains. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

SerHiroProtaganist

IMX - for the gaming narrative OP - eth layer 2 governance token for Optimism. The coinbase Base layer 2 is also built on the OP tech and base doesn't have a token. Therefore my thinking is if Base takes off in the bull, OP token price goes up TAO - bittentose tao for the AI narrative. It's the most legit one out there I think that stands a chance of being successful Oh and honourable mentions for shitcoins/memecoins: $poop - reddit meme coin airdropped to poop head avatar owners. I had loads of poophead avatars so I'm. Not far off 1% of the supply. The only coin I'll ever be close to being a whale in lol. $frame - a coin created within the new social media / twitter style app, Farcaster. Just because it's actually a good app and all the eth native ppl hang out there, so I figure if eth pumps, frame token is my memecoin of choice Non fungible token holdings: Good ENS (ethereum name service) domains Mfers

pantuso_eth

ENS seems like it's working pretty well. Not sure if people consider it a DAO. It has a governance token.

Lexsteel11

Yeah know what made me happy and want to die at the same time? I got $17k in the ENS drop for my .eth domain because I reserved it through 2030 which is great! But… I had bought 6 of them for the same duration but never assigned them to a wallet… so yay I made $17k but I could have made $102k haha

jawni

holy shit, that's more than I thought it would be, must've been a substantial project. Shoutout to the ENS airdrop though, I actually got a bigger airdrop because of how expensive gas is on ETH. I was buying my ENS and figured if gas was about 30% of the cost, I might as well increase the duration to 10 years on the domain so I don't have to spend more gas renewing sooner. And then the length ended up being part of the airdrop criteria.

Lexsteel11

Yeah ended up costing me $1,500 to deploy but the money didn’t feel real because it was a fraction of what I got in the ENS airdrop but yeah would have been a good call haha

paulchen81

For me probably it's ENS

Sidewayzracer

Yeah algos version is way better then ENS. ENS might have paid me via their airdrop but it doesnt make it a good product.

misunderstoodR

ENS names are great. I particularly am involved in the digit ones (999 and 10k club). Gives that sort of rarity

jimmybirch

"Sign In With Ethereum" sounds like a great use case. It's funny... Using my ENS was probably the first time I felt like I was genuinely doing something with crypto since the silk road days! (DeFi kinda passed me by).

MinimalGravitas

Congrats on going a bit deeper into crypto and actually using it. There's loads more stuff you can do with ENS if you keep playing with it. You can create subdomains from your main name if you want multiple addresses (e.g. to have some small wallets for trying out DeFi apps or whatever). You can link an NFT to your account and then when you connect to some dApps it will be displayed by your address (useful if you are a delegate voting in DAOs so people can quickly recognize you). Then there's also 'Sign In With Ethereum', a protocol being developed that will allow your ENS (or Ethereum address) to act as a universal log in name for web applications in the same way that gmail accounts do today: https://login.xyz/

paulchen81

Really curious hwo LINK and ENS will perform in the future. Not my biggest cryptoinvestment (That's ETH) but i have high hopes for them.

MinimalGravitas

I'm biased by the assets I hold, just like everyone else. Most of my portfolio is in ether, because I think that is the most legitimate network in crypto. I'm a delegate for Optimism, so OP is my 2nd biggest bag, though if you aren't interested in participating in governance there probably isn't much reason to hold it. I also hold a little ENS and ARB, again, primarily to have a voice in governance. Other projects that I think are honest and trying to build legitimate ecosystems include Polkadot, Cosmos and Polygon. I don't hold any of those assets because I don't yet have a good thesis as to how they would accrue value, but they attract a lot of developers and seem to be building for the long term.

OneClickYouDie

Forget ETH and just get ENS lol. Most people are priced out of ETH and ENS still in the 20s. There is no ETH without ENS domains and vice versa. Not financial advice but don't say I didn't tell you so

tldr; GoDaddy has partnered with Ethereum Name Service (ENS) to bridge the gap between traditional DNS and ENS addresses, allowing domain owners to link their domain names with their .eth ENS names. This integration simplifies the process of using human-readable names for crypto wallet addresses and supports multiple wallets and cryptocurrencies. The partnership aims to expand ENS's reach to GoDaddy's user base of 21 million, with an initial promotion offering free GoDaddy domains for ENS domain owners. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

I remember when 6 letter names became available, and I can assure you, Apple.eth was taken up the very first block without even looking into its history. Yes, it probbaly would have been cheap at the time, relatively, but you would have needed skills that few had at the time, and you were up against stiff competition. Also, ENS was far from a sure thing (even though I knew it would be successful). People like to imagine "what if" scenarios in crypto, but it's rarely that obvious at the time even with hindsight.

This is the point where NameCoin (NMC) rage quits. They've been trying to get buy-in for 15 years and were continually told to pound sand. Many others like EmerCoin tried as well. Don't know how ENS did it, but good for them.

No, almost the opposite.. If you already have a .com or .org address with GoDaddy, you can register it as your ENS name for free.

> Too bad ENS is so expensive It's literally free if you own the DNS name, they made an informative video about it: https://youtu.be/tYeOAECmHig

ENS continues to be one of the coolest and useful projects on Ethereum

Too bad ENS is so expensive. It should be free with only gas costs.

I think the bit that people are missing is that ".eth" isn't special. You can already link any arbitrary domain via ENS, it requires some knowledge and hoops to jump through but it's not especially difficult or anything. So there's zero point to hoarding .eth domain names. Nobody's going to give a fuck, at best you'll get a condescending letter from some corporate lawyer asking you to transfer it to them for a token sum (Basically cost) or alternatively risk getting taken to courts. Domain squatting isn't what it used to be.

This is pretty dope. There are some ENS hoarders rubbing their hands like birdman. Imagine buying Apple.eth and names like that years ago, might be worth something big soon.

"ENS collaborates with GoDaddy to link web domains with blockchain names"

MinimalGravitas

If you've got a web domain you can now use it as your ENS **for free** - here's the song they paid for announcing it: https://youtu.be/tYeOAECmHig !

tldr; Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is collaborating with domain registrar GoDaddy to link traditional web domain names with blockchain-based ENS names. This partnership aims to bridge the gap between the Domain Name System (DNS) used by traditional websites and blockchain technology, without requiring additional costs or technical knowledge from users. Over 20 million GoDaddy users will gain access to the benefits of ENS blockchain infrastructure. The collaboration will simplify user interaction with web domains by combining the familiarity of DNS with the potential of blockchain technology. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Human readable addresses simply rely on centralized entities, whether you're talking about leasing domain names from registrars, or leasing an ENS domain. Guess what, the root node for ENS is controlled by a multi sig contract in the hands of a few people.

ENS is so useful against this.

I'd say this is much more similar to the early internet with URLs when you had to type everything perfectly (or god forbid actual IPs and ports) and there was no durable search engine yet. Mass adoption didn't take off until web browsers became more forgiving with prefixes, and really not until google came along. Now your average person just googles a site, even when it's a simple URL that they should know off hand. Sure we have services like ENS, but this isn't something that is out of the box when you spin up a new key, and even once it's set up, folks need to stay on top of paying for the service. Let's be real: the folks taking part in Web3 are relatively tech savvy. The masses are anything but (source: have worked in IT support).
