How would you have "held me over the coals" ?
I'm saying $1000 is a rip-off (as in overpriced, not as in scam) when there's already a website and a brand that exist and that it can reasonably assumed that the use that will be made of it will be phishing. My words might have been a little strong, but I still consider that a form of cyber-squatting, which is perfectly legal, but not very respectable IMO.
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.
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.
I think $1000 would have been a good investment if it was only to protect your customers from potential phishing.
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.
I see both sides, but honestly, it was a dick move to sell the domain to anyone but Bitcoin Central. You KNOW it will be used for phishing. You KNOW some Bitcoin users will be scammed by this. And yet you do it anyway, all for a thousand bucks. Hope you're happy with it and can still sleep at night, anyway...
