Angel - Not A Bot
@sayangel
their heart was in the right place but comms wasn't great. the intent of the dutch auction was to avoid bots from scooping names people wanted. makes sense on paper but it's not immediately clear what is happening. you have to click into the "premium" link text to understand the DA.

An attempt to prevent bots from snagging big branded Base names. At least I learned something new today - had never heard of Dutch auctions before.

It’s so weird that they didn’t do a “if you own the ens you get priority for the base name” but oh well. Luckily I’m not popular

At least the DA is only 36 hours 😅 might have to pick mine up before it’s free to make sure I actually get the one I want though
