Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

7,500 hand registrations, one year later – DNW Podcast #609
Q: What keywords didn't work for you?
Reason says Medical and Med produced no sales, as did Lab in his results. Financial did better than Finance, while several other keywords generated only one or two sales.
7,500 hand registrations, one year later – DNW Podcast #609
Q: What's it looking like now? How's your experiment going?
Reason says he has renewed many names, plans to drop about 600 to 800, and has sold 39 domains. Their average net sale price was around $4,800, and he estimates roughly $185,000 in net sales.
Behind the scenes at the .si registry – DNW Podcast #608
Q: Does that mean for the registry operations and for you, does that mean you'll be able to staff up, take new initiatives or does the money just kind of flow to the academic side there, the government?
Povše says the registry needs to hire staff and obtain a new registry system, but it cannot independently decide how the revenue is allocated. The team hopes to retain a share for those needs.
Behind the scenes at the .si registry – DNW Podcast #608
Q: What was going on behind the scenes there and how did you scale up?
The registry's security protections limited connections and transaction rates, while firewall measures and zone-publication safeguards caused delays during unusually high registration volumes. The system did not crash, and the registry communicated with registrars about its limits.
Rick and the Beanstalk- DNW Podcast #607
Q: How does AI fit into the Beanstalk Challenge and domain investing more broadly?
AI is essential for accelerating builds and creating scalable opportunities; builders use AI to develop the initial sites, then add a personal signature to differentiate them and drive long-term value.
