Nymdok 115 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) Wait, that could just be someone buying that domain hoping it will pay off later. Enhance your calm. Control your fomo.

hammertoe 612 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 That shows that that Google are the registrar, not the registrant. As far as I know, anyone could go register a domain name via them. -Matt nikb, Insoniac and jamalbbb 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Montoya 877 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 A registrar is simply the authority with whom one registers something. nikb 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Xi195 1,313 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 (edited) Amazon purchased a number of crypto related domains recently. CNBC article on it here: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/01/amazon-buys-crypto-domains-bitcoin-ethereum.html Seems like someone thought it would be a good idea to snag amazonxrp.com as a result.

XRPledger 131 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 For what it's worth... amazonxlm.com is owned by an individual and the registrar is http://www.godaddy.com. Just sayin... Insoniac 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Admin Street: 96 Mowat Ave Admin City: Toronto http://www.tucows.com/about-us/ Tucows is another Registrar (like google in the above example). When using route 53 (AWS dns services) they are one of the common registrants used. I don't see any news in this, it is most likely Amazon or google protecting the brand name or someone purchasing hoping they can sell it for a decent price or use it for dodgy reasons (scam site, phishing ect) If you go over to Godaddy and do a search of xrp + company you will understand how easy it is to set buy the domain i.e xrpamex.com is available for sale for less then $10.
