So, I went ahead and purchased an ENS (Ethereum Name Service) domain - dlized.eth. It wasn’t as easy as buying a domain on GoDaddy etc, definitely not as cheap, but I guess, there’s a premium to pay when you want to live the degen life - or is it? How I Bought My First ENS Domain Well, first, you go to the and click on the ‘Go to app’ button. ENS Domains website Incidentally, this is also where the troubles start. You need to have Metamask pre-installed (makes sense, else where’d you park your domain - yes, your ENS domain is an ERC721 NFT) and you need to be on the Ethereum chains (Mainnet preferably cos God knows why you’d need to be on their testnets unless you’re a dev). Next up, you gotta search for the name you want. Looked up utsav.eth - sold out. Fuck! Their registration expires in 2046. You can click on the ‘Heart’ emoji to be reminded when it is back on the market. Click it, cos fuck John Maynard Keynes (economists laugh in the background). I can also see who owns it (or at least which wallet address is the NFT bearing the name my parents gave me linked to). Thanks, Blockchain. Lemme screenshot it below as it is public knowledge. Never mind, I’ll go look for another domain. Dammit! I’m not one of those people who have cool and unique nicknames that I can snag up on the ENS. Gotta think! Ended up searching for the name of my company - dlized.eth, cos’ that’s how boring sometimes us people can be. creative Found it! Let’s buy it! More problems ensue. Looks like  it takes two transactions to get the ENS domain transferred to you - just roll them into one and push them to the backend, devs. Just hit me with the final cost and I’ll decide whether it is worth it or not! To buy it for 1 year, the cost is $5 but the GAS fee is 0.042 ETH ($134.71USD) Anyways, I’ll buy it for 20 years aannnndddd, the total is now $233.21 WOW! You also need about $20 (at current GAS prices) to sign a God-knows-what-but-gotta-trust-the-devs-on-this-one transaction that you gotta pay every time you initialize a new dApp. It is the same as Uniswap’s ‘ ’ transaction that you need to do before you can begin swapping that one pair. Want to swap another pair - that’s another ‘authorize’ transaction. authorize Guess that’s the price we pay for anonymity and decentralization - which is weird because I’m writing a blog post about it under my own name 🙃 Anyways, we proceed. I transfer some ETH to this wallet (muttering how I should have bought ETH before 2020) and it is game on! Click on the bottom right - pay the initial fee - wait 1 minute while the system checks to see if somebody else also reserved your name while you were mulling over the GAS costs on Ethereum. Request to Register The final step now is to hit ‘ ’ - pay the remaining $233 worth of ETH and as soon as the transaction is signed, you’re now the proud owner of your ENS NFT. Complete Registration Let this be clear that at this point, my dlized.eth might look like a web URL but it is just an NFT. At this point, if someone transfers funds to this address, it’ll probably get lost - but I dunno. Next, the system prompts me to go to ‘ ’ and finish the final configurations - does not look reassuring but here I go! My Account Yeah - nope! You’re gonna make me read the documentation now, are you? Here’s the , for those of you more technically inclined. link Let’s move forward, click on ‘Make Primary Controller’ if it’s your first rodeo so that your wallet address gets linked to your ERC721 ENS Domain NFT - . pay more GAS fee That’s another 0.012 ETH ($50 as of writing) - well, now I’m invested enough! Lemme start receiving crypto via dlized.eth instead of that wrangely string of alphanumeric characters. Looks like I gotta map my BTC, LTC, and DOGE addresses - that’s another transaction! Adding my email. Twitter, Telegram, and whatever notice, avatar, keywords mean, looks like a nice touch but I seem to be out of my depth, and of course - that’ll be another transaction! At this point it is clear to me - for understanding more of how to all works, There’s also the and the that you can check out - I won’t, cos I’m not gonna be that guy who posts on the forum without reading the documentation first - which is not very helpful, at least for non-devs. Forum Support Chat The support chat goes to Discord and whoever made it, probably didn’t select ‘Never’ on the expiration of the discord link. Looks like there’s one thing that I know more than at least one ETH dev. Here’s the - thanks, Reddit! correct link to the ENS discord server Key Takeaways from The Almost $300 Experiment . When somebody asks you for your wallet address and you give them a human-readable name, you’re winning admiration of 99% of the people out there. The other 1% already have an ENS domain. First off, it seems fun But then, you realize that you can’t do much because all your transactions are on Avalanche, Polygon, and Fantom - for one and only one reason - GAS fees. So, your only option is to either bridge your assets over to these blockchains (or simply use an exchange, simply for the convenience) (109 as of writing) as wallet addresses. While it might have some use in some magical way, I use MetaMask which means I already have the same address showing up anyways. Also, looks like Avalanche C-Chain is not supported yet! Secondly, you can add more Blockchains In any case, you’re limited to the number of wallets (which is growing btw) that support these human-readable wallet names. For example, I tried to send some of my BEP20 BSC to this new shiny human readable address and got the ‘address not valid’ error.  Which brings me to my pet-peeve (in case it was not evident already) (unless you’re a whale who hit the motherlode and has hundreds and thousands of ETH to spare). I added a bunch of addresses via the ‘add/edit record’ and the GAS fees to process that transaction jumped up to another $300. Thirdly, the GAS fees are atrocious I removed a few fields and just kept the BSC address and it dropped to $50. Paid it begrudgingly for the sake of this experiment - only to see that I cannot move funds from Binance. A case can be made that a Google search would have told me just that but I was already too invested - just not enough invested to pay $300 again, but enough to pay $40. Another case can be made that this is decentralization and blockchain - every thing that goes on the Blockchain, needs to pay the ferry-man. I get it. It’s just that despite the beauty of the Ethereum ecosystem, and the strides they’ve made, it is just the issue of GAS fees that other Blockchains fix, and then copy almost everything else. Looking at you BSC… What I think It Means for those of who aren’t shadowy super coders The heart and soul of the Ethereum people has always been at the right place (at least since the ETH-ETC debacle) and they seem to be the pioneers in the choppiest of waters we’ve ever seen. I’s sure they’ll find a way to fix the GAS costs, learn to write better documentation and guides that work for the rest of us (so I don’t have to write this rant), and everything in between. With such as thing as an ENS domain, let’s see what I can do: Use a human-readable word as my wallet address across supported wallets and Blockchains Connect my .xyz domain with my .ETH domain (as a bridged web3 in the web2 world) Show-off on Twitter (or as the investors day, ‘virtue-signal’) Squat those NFTs and sell them on Open Sea (no restrictions) Use emojis in my ETH address (why would I wanna do that?) Fill that use case where I wanna enter my wallet address (on a supported wallet) but cannot use a QR code for some reason But, in all fairness… ENS domains has a better grasp over the global namespace ethics and conventions. In their documentation (yes, I finally read it), they advise people not to pollute the namespace and want to co-habitate with the DNS side of things. This ability to fill inside the lines and take what is not claimed non-confrontational mentality of ETH developers is most likely going to be the reason crypto-adoption happens. What follows below is a very informative answer by serenae.eth in the ENS DAO Discord channel to provide some technical answers to the concerns I had. These will help you get a fuller picture of the work the ENS Domains community is up to: We need more honest everyman takes like this to remind us where we are in web3 and where we'd like to be. Having worked support for a little while now, believe me I how confusing it can be to newbies to Ethereum or crypto in general. know Some notes: - Registration is two txs to prevent frontrunning. If it was one transaction, someone could see that and front-run you with higher gas - It's true that there are a lot of transactions to set everything up. However note that you don't need separate transactions to set coin addresses, content hash, e-mail, Twitter, avatar, or any other records, those can be done in a single transaction to save on gas. Yeah, it'll still be more gas the more records you update, but less than if you did each one in a separate transaction all ENS works just fine on Polygon or other networks, assuming that your address is the same as the mainnet (which it usually is)! In all cases your wallet is just resolving the ETH address record and using that to send a transaction over Polygon or whatever - Wallet/exchange support is not 100% obviously, especially for non-Ethereum coins, but growing every day... Gas is a limiting factor for everyone on L1 these days, and I know the devs are on bringing L2 support! hard at work As you noted, ENS seeks full integration and compatibility with DNS. In fact, if you own you can already import that into ENS and use it like you would any other ENS name! There are high gas costs for that, but that will be addressed as well: . domain.com Tweet link Overall fair criticisms though! I know the team is also hard at work on a full refresh of the ENS manager UI too, so hopefully, it'll get even easier. I fully agree with you that there's too much "gotta go read the documentation" stuff today. https://twitter.com/BrantlyMillegan/status/1433886211324665859 The more I get into web3 the more I realize we're still here:

Buying and Using an ENS Domain: A Guide, A Cautionary Tale, and a 1000-ft Review of Ethereum's Web3

Wait, what? Please hear me out. I believe the way we’ve been going about growth these past few years has distracted us from why we’re here in the first place. By gaining followers quickly, we lose sight of what we want to actually do. Share knowledge, educate, entertain. We as creators have something to say and we don’t just want to say it to someone. We’d like active participants in our mutually beneficial experiences. Fancy way of saying, we all want to belong. Our goal shouldn’t be “to be an influencer”. You already are influencing someone. And if you can “influence” a new person once per day for 10 years, you’ll gain 3,650 followers. You do 10 hacks, tips, tricks… whatver — each day.. you’d have 36,500 followers in 10 years. So many blog posts, youtube videos, stories are about how to gain a huge number of followers in 1 day. or 24 hours or 48 hours. Instagram Sure you can trick people into following you, but do you want to? Sure you can hack your way through a forest but you’ll be cutting down a lot of beautiful trees in the process. Probably the biggest culprit is a youtube video titled “How to Gain 100K Instagram Followers in 48 Hours” — How? They bought or traded for shoutouts from accounts with Millions of followers. To be honest this is a method I’ve used to gain followers. And I’ve built an entire site around getting regrammed. Tips, Tricks and hacks will get you followers. I’ve nearly guaranteed it to dozens of clients. But what it won’t get you is fans. That’s up to you. I can teach you every trick. I can change the way you think about Instagram and I can even teach you how to do it yourself. But You’re not going to be doing the thing that you want to do. You’ll be your way through the jungle instead of creating your own forest. hacking So You Want to be an Influencer Here’s my recipe for success Learn Photography — every single Instagram post has one thing: a photo. Learn Graphic Design — Learn aspects of graphic design that aid in building a brand. That includes: Color theory, Alignment, Repetition and much more. Colors evoke certain emotions. Use that to your advantage. Learn P.R. — Yes Public relations. Pitching and getting press will help your career and your follower count. Don’t rely on a P.R. firm to create you. If you have success in P.R., then you’ll know you can invest a large sum of money into a P.R. firm to do even better work. Co-habitate, co-mingle, and collaborate with other creators — Not just Instagrammers and Not just influencers. Push the boundaries of who you meet and who you hang out with. You’re the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. If you’re around even three other people who are reading similar but different things as you and you communicate with them purposefully, you’ll learn three times as much. Which leads to the next. Learn “Best Practices” Purposefully — Ditch the terms: Tips, Tricks, and Hacks. Instead of haphazardly reading about and then attempting to do each and every hack or trick you hear of, develop habits and skills. Blend a trick into your every day existence. Instead of just reaching out for shoutouts, come up with a systemized way to collaborate. Instead of just tagging nonsensical hashtags that are spit out of an app, go and explore Instagram like a normal person. Analyze your own actions to develop growth through channels you already use. Work on Projects — I like calling them projects because there’s less pressure than “new lines of business” or “revenue streams”. I’d recommend attempting to do short projects. Work on weekend projects that can be done within 4 hours and then spend the rest of the weekend marketing it. Work on team projects — sure, you can call it collaborating. Work on projects that others are passionate about and you support them. Figure out why they are passionate about it and help them execute. Or do something together that each of you can excel at. Example: Create a whole new instagram account based on a shared theme with a group of 6 others (Each of you post once a day) Another example: If you’re a model, try being an extra in someone’s short film. yes this may take time (months) to gain traction but find a reason to keep doing it other than followers and you won’t burnout. Learn how to write — Writing allows you to communicate beyond a photo or a post. Writing allows you to communicate deeper. Deeper connections breed bigger fans who will become ambassadors of yours. Write a book. Seriously the best advice. Get your favorite book: and type it out word for word. Just open a google doc and write the first page. I’ve typed out first pages of Kerouac, Hemingway, Thompson, and Adams. Learn SEO — The basics can be learned in a day. It takes a lifetime to master. But not just overall SEO, basic keyword research. Finding out the exact words people use can help your growth incredible as you use words that matter to people, which matters to search engines. With all that in mind. It’s hard to know how far you can get by just creating. I’ve made it a personal mission to educate that a “Build it and they will come” mentality will not work. Many of those are marketing. I take it for granted that each person reading this will know exactly what they are good at. If you don’t have a thing, feel free to reach out. If you do have a thing and find it hard to grow, reach out too. I still offer growth services for a fee and I am always creating free resources for people to grow their following.
