New TLD company offers stats about .live and premium domain names.
Rightside (NASDAQ:NAME) published some interesting stats about its second quarter today. Here are some of the notable numbers:
- $1 million premium sales (wholesale) from premiums in Q2. This was probably helped by the company’s special renewal pricing on premium domains.
- The company has sold less than 2% of its premium inventory to date. (Rightside was much more aggressive than other registries when it came to marking domains as premium.)
- 1,700 premium .Live domains have been sold year-to-date, generating $780,000 wholesale. Only 6% of premium .live inventory has been sold so far.
- The company is releasing previously unavailable two-character inventory starting in September.

Not a bad idea – regardless of what the brand name is. The domain market can only benefit from more cross-fertilization with other communities, including bitcoin enthusiasts.
Personally, I know nothing about bitcoin and doubt I could be tortured into caring about bitcoin, but I do know that folks who spend money on cryptocurrency are more likely to take an interest in other internet-based markets such as domain investment. And the more the merrier!

Joseph, the idea is follow the popular saying: Do not put all your eggs in the same basket, domains, bitcoin, real estate, …
