> What is there you want me to link to, specifically? I mean, I suppose I could give a source for "they could crank up the fee for renewing only your name to $1,000,000,000, and then allocate it to whomever they please once it expires" if you insist. But this is not contentious, surely? Is there any specific contract or code you think the article would be improved by linking to?

I can imagine raising the price of renewal on a domain. But how would "they" control allocating the domain when it expires?

For example, by raising the new registration price to $1,000,000,000. Then, the DAO can register it at zero cost (it will get 100% of the fee refunded instantly), but anybody else would have to pay sticker price.

I believe there's also more complex schemes, where you directly restrict who can register it, but I'm not sure about those.

Oooh good one. Yes you need to spell out just how devious you are getting with these exploits. Love it. Skip all the broad sweeping stuff and get specific.
