Buy juice.box Domain

From my.box:

.box is a first of its kind: one domain with two technologies (Internet and Blockchain). .box domains work seamlessly with both the Domain Name System (DNS) and the Ethereum Name Service (ENS).

.box domains are live in beta, and are only available from my.box for now. Jango and I (filipv) spoke with my.box founder Josh Brandley about buying the juice.box domain for JuiceboxDAO:

  1. Before the discussion, I reached out and offered $8,000 USD for the domain.
  2. Josh replied asking for $25k to make the sale a "no brainer".
  3. On the call, he reiterated this figure, and we explained the JuiceboxDAO governance process.
  4. An earlier version of this document proposed an $18k bid. JuiceboxDAO members were unanimously opposed.
  5. Taking a look at recent URL marketplace sales and various online appraisal services, the juice.box domain seems to be worth roughly $3,000. Since it also has an ENS component, it may be worth increasing our bid to $4,000.

We don't have a specific use in mind for juice.box just yet, but we could:

  • Make it the URL for juicebox.money.
  • Make it the multisig's ENS address (.box domains are ENS-compatible).
  • Make it the URL for a new JuiceboxDAO project.

We're open to suggestions.

To be written – awaiting further details from Josh.
