coinrumble might be a good name for a crypto comparison site.

But give up a percentage of the company for $10? Just register the .net domain and keep all ownership.

It's a fair point in the sense that .nets are available for many of these, but they were all dropcaught, not free reg'd. If you go onto any sites like dan.com and search for "coin" + (viable single word).com domains, you won't find any for less than $1,000.

I tried to secure coincrush.com a few months ago, their price was $13,000 (unfortunately)... it's a good name for a range of different projects.

cointube.com dropped about a month ago and sold instantly at auction for about $8k from memory.

Well depending on how the project''s potential will be I don't think q businessman will mind spending a couple thousanda of dollars on finding an alternative for the domain rather than hiving a percentage of their company/business in exchange for the name. No guy in his right mind would give a big piece of their idea just because they got the name first especially if there are good alternatives in the web. If you are looking for a business partner you need to shell out more than a domain or at least an equal amount of capital your business partner will be shelling out.

Thanks for your comment, it's appreciated.

Look, I'll put it into a concrete scenario. I'm building a site right now, and about 6 months ago I was developing ideas for the name/brand/domain.

I found about 10 I really liked, but 2 of them were amazing. I would take any of the other ones, but the 2 good ones would be perfect for the concept, and were very brandable, authoritative names.

So I reached out to the owners of the 2. One of them said they would sell for $50k... Ok, that's off the cards right away.

The second one gave me a reasonable price in the $x,xxx range. I bartered him down a bit and then bought it.

Now I was happy to buy the domain because I think I got it at a price that is reasonable, but if the owner said to me "If you're interested, you can use the domain in return for 0.5% of the profits of the business over the first 2 years, where if that is more than the price I'm quoting you anyway then you would keep the domain at the end of the two years", then I would have preferred to have taken that deal, kept the funds I outlaid for the domain for marketing and development, and then been able to use the ideal domain for my platform while only losing 0.5% of profit for doing so.

If you disagree with this being a something I should prefer to do, ok. But that's where I'm coming from with this. It presents an opportunity for a project to get a domain for their crypto startup without needing to settle for something less or pay a lot for it.

Regarding the idea, I don't even really care about it. I would only need to know the basics of what the idea is, ie. it's an exchange, its blog, it's a forum. If it's a totally new super secret genius idea, I don't need to know what it is, and more to the point, I don't care. I've got enough super secret crypto ideas bouncing around my head anyway - I just like partnering with professionals on good projects.
