Frequently Asked Questions
Once you reserve your name with NAM3R, you will always have the right to purchase the name. You will need to have the tech skills to set up a cryptocurrency wallet and use cryptocurrency for us to transfer and you to store the domain safely. We will be glad to assist with this and encourage everyone to learn more about this exciting new world. Our goal for now is to remove the technology barrier to adoption and allow anyone to reserve their name.
NAM3R works with the Handshake protocol. Handshake is an experimental peer to peer root DNS system built on a fork of the bcoin blockchain. Handshake domains do not currently resolve on regular DNS sites. Many internet browsers support Handshake domains such as OPERA browser. Browser plug-ins and third-party resolvers are also available. More browsers are expected to add Handshake support in the future. You can learn more about Handshake protocol here.
NAM3R uses NAMEBASE to interact with the HANDSHAKE protocol. Namebase is a top-level domain (TLD) name registrar that operates on the Handshake blockchain.
There are a couple of major differences:
Unstoppable domains sell SECOND level domains. They own the domain .CRYPTO. You can buy a subdomain of .crypto. For example myname.crypto
NAM3R lets you reserve and buy TOP level Domains. .myname or .mynickname etc.
When you own the TOP level domain, you control it. You can create as many subdomains to the left of your TLD as you like.
UNSTOPPABLE DOMAINS .crypto uses the ETHEREUM blockchain. A lot of projects use this blockchain. Transaction fees are very high and unpredictable.
NAM3R uses the HANDSHAKE blockchain. This blockchain is devoted to domain names. Transaction fees are tiny compared to Ethereum.
UNSTOPPABLE has done a tremendous job in the Blockchain Domain field. We view all participants in this emerging technology as allies and not competitors.
We feel HANDSHAKE is the superior technology. UNSTOPPABLE has the first mover advantage but we believe in time HANDSHAKE will be the dominant protocol.
HANDSHAKE is to domain names what BITCOIN is to money.
