I bought an .ETH domain!

Today we were discussing domains in the #Pizza discord server.

I decided to look up some Pizza based domain names to see if there was anything good for cheap. There were a few honorable mentions like Pizz.biz 🤣 We joked about pooling money to buy this domain. Of course, this was a bit of a lark ... we didn't actually have plans to buy a domain. There is already a great pizza site at https://hive.pizza created by Hive account@hivetrending and Hive account@thebeardflex. Still it is always fun to browse cheap domains with clever names.

The perpetual ETH shill Hive account@dibbers.dabs started telling me about .ETH domains and how interesting they are. According to Dibs, an .ETH domain was also a wallet, a DAO and some other stuff I don't understand yet! I have been doing some research into the dynamics of ETH, some of which I dont understand yet.

This whole domain experiment is an attempt to code more often and also learn more about ETH.

All I Really knew about ETH was the gas fees, which I learned a lot about today.😭😭😭😭 I didn't realize that the MEW wallet only works with mobile on the domain site. I had to switch to portis wallet and pay extra gas fees. I am definitely no used to tokens with gas fees. 😂 I've been learning a lot like certain tools/wallets allow you to slow the transaction time down and pay less. It's very interesting. I have a lot to learn!

I got really confused somehow and ended up putting like $40 extra into my wallet 🤣 Im fairly confused by Gas fees on ETH. It's day #1 though. This is definitely my foray into the #ETH world. I've hung out on Cryptovoxels and earned some ETH from Publish0x, but that's about it.

Of course, I wanted to put something on my new domain!

I made a simple image to serve as my first ETH blog! [Very exciting for me 😁]. I uploaded my image/blog into a simple IPFS system. Then I linked the hash into my .ETH domain. It was by FAR the simplest domain/hosting experience I have had. IPFS + ENS is awesome! 😎 Very easy to figure out and pretty much code free. I would highly recommend .ETH domains so far.

The GAS fees on ETH were a bit ... intense. 🤣😫 $20 to drop my first blog. Is this Richkids.life or what?! Holy Ashtray! [i will actually beg for the first time in my life. PLEASE tip me if you are ETH rich 🤣 I will add to the community, promise.] All that aside, I really love how my first ETH blog looks! I learned a lot too. There are MANY more things I can do with my ETH domain so stay tuned! If you are on BRave/ without Metamask etc you can add a .link to my URL and see the site! https://tacopizza.eth.link/

Bye for now.
