Bidding on ENS Domain Names using MetaMask / Chrome ~ Cybersquatting?

in #ethereum7 years ago

Hi,

anybody burn a lot of GAS on failed transactions bidding for ENS?

I have come across several bugs, the best I could come up with using MetaMask and the https://registrar.ens.domains service is posted on this video;

Do you have a better way to bid on ENS?

Also, @Zero 2 Cash on Youtube asked:
If you buy a name of a company for example apple.eth now i know you can't because its not 7 letters or more im just using APPLE as an example the question is can THAT company TAKE it away ?

REPLY
"unlike in the legacy DNS system where ICANN can remove a squatter’s rights to a specific domain name if it determines that the squatter is unfairly trying to exploit its ownership of the name – there is no central authority that can override a squatter’s efforts in ENS. If the decentralized web ultimately overtakes the legacy internet, as many believe it will, this immutable feature may potentially make ENS-squatting a more lucrative practice than squatting on DNS-registered names because there is no risk of a central authority forcibly transferring control of an ENS address.
