I don't think the domain name for an open protocol is worth that much.

Is html.com worth 5 mil? I'd guess not.

In any case, HTML is way more well known and used as a protocol.

The whole point of an open protocol is that it's difficult to monetize because that requires locking it down and milking it.

Nostr dot com for sale! $5m, offer ends 20th Sept, at which point it will come under the umbrella/management of LNbits Inc for 3 years.
(If sold, I commit to 10% going to fiatjaf, and 10% towards LNbits development). DM or email ben at lnbits dot com if interested.

Rationale: I would of course prefer to keep it, but current needs must. I bought the domain in 2020 for $5k, and it's value is at least x1000. If its not sold, @lnbits will use for services, such as relays and sell NIP05 handles.

The sale must be to the right person/project/company who will use it for something great.
