That’s the 64-thousand dollar question. Lots of “investors” are buying in the new registeries – and each registry paid about $200k for the right to have their new GTLD.
For now, .COM is still king. But it’s hard to find domains.
Apparently most of the currently approved ones were automatically generated from a list of words and registered by shell companies, which doesn’t surprise me at all.
Isn’t this pattern pretty standard in the community? Every golang library I’ve ever interacted with uses this pattern:
I’m just happy to see someone actually using one of the new GTLDs.
Where do you even go to register a domain on one of them?

I think it would be quite a gas to register the domain 妈妈.我爱你 (I love you mom).
Any big registrar will do it. I use namecheap.com and avoid GoDaddy.
