squatters

If namecoin were to take off it would just collapse under it's own weight once squatters move in.

With that said, the key issues with Starbucks, are long lines, high prices and the wi-fi squatters.

Forcing squatters to have to file a trademark to retain their squatted domains would improve the squatting situation 10000x.

A truly decentralized system with first to register doesn't have a way to kick off squatters.

Yeah coming up with names is wicked hard in the age of domain squatters.

If they're planning to discuss possible names in the open, I'm sure domain/social media squatters will be right on this.

Look, I hate squatters, but Keen seems hardly even close to being one of them.

What he is is someone who shows that the cost of getting rid of squatters is higher than the burden of having those parasites around.

Oddly enough this relates to all the domain squatters out there.

It just occurred to me that by using DNS without any filters Google is going to take people to domain squatters when someone mistypes a domain name.

Well, if they just closed the loopholes that allow spammers and squatters to cheat the system, it would help free up the supply problem quite a bit.

Re: squatters: they could squat on any TLD.

It turns out that the list of "domain availability checks" are sold to squatters.

For example, I have a distant cousin in the Philippines who builds "houses" for squatters with arrangements with land owners.

Since their primary goal is to get rid of "squatters", their solutions are not really useful and also serve to undermine the purpose of name coin.

Wow, so the response to squatters illegally living in a office building that is zoned non-residential is "you should figure out a way to make the office building legal to live in"?!
