[QUOTE="Johnnywu, post: 2312090, member: 322974114"] I just wanted to share that it's now actually possible for anyone to get TLDs. Instead of the $185k application fee it costs to apply for a TLD to ICANN, there's a blockchain project called Handshake that instead distributes TLDs through auctions. Highest bidder wins the TLD and only pays the 2nd highest bid, so in an auction where there are no other bidders, the winner wins the TLD for free! These TLDs live on the Handshake blockchain, which browsers don't yet support, but it turns out you can still access Handshake domains by using the HNS.to search engine — try using it to search "home.hns" or "github.hns". Emoji domains like "home." are also possible. For those interested in getting personalized TLDs, the easiest way to bid on Handshake domains is probably through Namebase, which can be reached by searching "home.nb" on HNS.to. You can also visit "learn.nb" to read more about Handshake and Namebase. Cheers and happy naming! [/QUOTE]
