Today, we’re delighted to introduce a new Domain Sherpa, Steve Webb, the baby-faced Computer Science PhD with tech experience that could fit into several lifetimes! Joining us for a casual, geeky conversation is Shane Cultra, the local business owner and domain name expert. We chat about SEO myths, and particularly about how to make money with Gateway.io, the new EPP based registrar built to serve handshake TLDs.
Any domain investor curious about the future, particularly with gTLDs, will benefit from today’s show!

I wanted to buy a few handshake tld’s on Namebase but it’s only possible for US persons, unless you can go through the horror of applying for a crypto account elsewhere to transfer this or that cryptocurrency for HNS…
Hi Jack,
I’m currently in the US so I’m not 100% sure what steps are necessary outside of the US, but I believe you can purchase HNS with BTC using Namebase Exchange.

Thanks,
Steve
I was told you cannot pay or buy HNS with $us or any other currency .
Hi Frank,
At the moment, you need to use BTC to purchase HNS; however, they’re working to add support for USD.
