leader of the idn 'pack', and (just to
confirm once more) you don't know of
ANY idn.com sale to a non-speculator?
Does that not mean then that the
supposed 'value' of Chinese idn.com
names is purely speculative and that
a real market for them does not exist? |
Well the biggest holder of IDN on this forum is DCG, which is one of the reasons that additional forums have been added to the DNF.
No there is no real market as you put it, but the by your definition a real secondary market in ASCII took quite a long time to develop as well.
Are they used? Yes extensively in China and Korea. You will I guess be vaguely aware of the sharp upturn in dot CN registrations. I think if you look more closely, you will realise that most of these are IDN related.
There will always be sceptics. You are certainly not the first! Most of the speculators in IDNs have previously been very sceptical. It would appear that for someone who has not travelled much and has little knowledge of Asian culture, it is generally a very hard concept to grasp. Don't worry, you will eventually, although probably far too late to make any serious money.
$1 dollar sale, I would say probably 2 years from now.
