crypto mfs when they see a new namespace to squat

IMO a fixed $25 to create a channel is probably far *below* the socially optimal price. Many were squatted in an early speculative land grab and are now abandoned. It's much easier to create a new one than commit to curating it and building a community over the long term. 

Throwing them onchain and letting Coasean bargaining sort it out seems reckless until the concept can outcompete "squat, gamble, and speculate."

counter point: what social network charges you to make a community? isn't the namespace centralized anyway?

this is my own take on this, also i have a suggestion for merkle, if a channel stays inactive for a certain period of time (say 2-3 months) how about auctioning it off to willing buyers, i think that will do really fine.
