Actually if you are going to rebrand then I guess I couldn't of. Not like I would of in the first place, but many domain owners demand unreasonable sums of money for domains names, especially of established brands.
I mean if there was no rebrand in the pipeline, how would you have done that ?
$1000 is unreasonable.
If you think $1000 for this name is unreasonable then you should have countered in my email. I would have accepted $850 since that's all I got after Sedo's ridiculous 15% fee.
$100 would already have seemed pricey to me. What would have seemed fair to me would have been your actual costs +50%, something like that.
What would have happened after, someone offering bitcoin-central.io for $2000? What next, secure-bitcoin-central.net for $500? And then bticoin-central.net for $1500?
I think $1000 would have been a good investment if it was only to protect your customers from potential phishing.
Hah, no.
It is cyber-squatting which I dislike. Hence my attempts to sell to the brand owner who deserves the domain since I didn't use it.
That's pretty much the point of cyber-squatting, sell a domain to the brand owner with a nice profit.
What sets you apart from a cyber-squatter though, is that apparently you owned the domain before I even started developing BC.
So there was obviously no intent to cyber-squat. But that doesn't really matter since from my POV the result is the exact same.
