This week someone picked up one of my ENS domains. It expired a couple of weeks ago… and yeah, I didn’t notice. Normally I’m on top of these things, but this time I let it slip. It wasn’t my main domain, but it was one that makes it very easy for the new owner to impersonate me — and the first thing they did was add my profile picture to ENS. It was disappointing for a lot of reasons: firstly that someone would even go that far, and secondly because a transfer was made to that address during the window when it had expired, which was of course lost. I wanted to share this because all of us involved are very experienced in and around crypto, but one tiny slip is still so easy to make. Now I’ve lost a domain that’s important to me personally, and it’s probably worthless to the new owner beyond catching a few stray late transactions.
