Claim from the site you linked to is not the same as your claim:

> Renewals for names are annual and cost a standard network fee. Miners will receive the transaction fee as part of their block reward.

This could mean:

- Fixed USD fee (it is not this one)

- Fixed coin fee (don't think it is this one either) - but coin price is marked based - so fee is market based

- Price does not depend on domain name but miners basically decide the fee like it is with other cryptos (think it is this one) - still market based - and actually could be gamed to make it higher for some domain names

So ...

Can you explain how the miners can price discriminate against certain domains? Seems like the network fee would need to be identical for every concurrent transaction.

I don't know exact details, but if it works like bitcoin miners can refuse to put renewals in blocks if the fees is not high enough.

In which case you can just wait until there are less transactions waiting to be confirmed, driving the price up (it's a renewal, so you have plenty of time to complete it).

You can't wait to renew, or someone who's willing to pay the price will steal your domain.

I'm pretty sure you have a time period during which you can renew the domain.
