It took us a while to get ahold of the .com from the owner in Michigan. After numerous attempts to reach the owner - including a Postmates order, a flower delivery and a hand written Christmas card - we bit the bullet and grabbed the .ca to start. openunit.com eventually expired, went live on the GoDaddy auction site and I was able to pick it up for $400 after a bot tried to outbid me. Over the next week weeks I’ll consolidate the two domains - if developer operations is of interest, please reach out to me at taylor@openunit.com and let’s talk DNS records.

this is hands down the most interesting thing i've read today
congrats on the domain Taylor! Way to go man.
You should hear the story about how we got the Twitter handle. It starts and ends with Argentina...
I can't wait for the first storage facility on the moon. Then it could be @moonunit, take that Zappas!
What's your twitter handle so I can follow you on that platform. Cheers.
Our twitter handle is @openunit (https://twitter.com/openunit)
I'm listening.
