There's also a fee built into the system right?  So someone speculating on a domain name would need to be able to move it quickly.

What do you mean by this? There are standard transaction fees, and then the full price you paid for the domain. That's it, no other fees.

I also agree that the video should have a little bit more information on domain name squatting.  Perhaps point out the percentage of .bit registered names vs operation websites.

Great idea!

Slightly off topic but I never understood how it prevents domain squatting.  If there is an auction and only the squatter is there, then they receive the domain, no ?  Are people able to outbid for the domain later on ?

We should say "mitigate" instead of "prevent."

If you try to buy a domain that is clearly worth a lot for cheap, someone will call you on it because they have a profit motive to do so. Of course *someone* will end up with the domain, but they are forced to pay full price and so 1) they are more likely to sell it because of high opportunity cost and 2) they cannot buy thousands of high-value domains.

The end result is that you still have "squatters" except they look more like registrars that resell well-priced domains.

Great video :)  +5%

Just one thing! Speaking with a little bit more Up's and down's! Sry don't know how to say it.
Perhaps just have to speak a bit more emphasis? Just thoughts, it's nothing content related etc.

Great feedback!

QuoteIt starts with.. what is .p2p? It is.. "decentralized top level domain, and an alternative to the traditional DNS system"

Why not just start with ".p2p is a new domain name system" .. "domain names are, .. [introduce by example].."

I agree.

QuoteNo need to say "a few.. important improvement" .. just "important improvements"
"in contrast to OLD, NEW is decentralized"

agreed

Quote50s explain "domain name squatting" either the voice or graphic or combination must explain what this is, what is going on, why it is bad.

I think we are assuming the audience understands the problem of squatting. However it would not hurt to explain this...

Quote58 "enables global price discovery ... this mechanic helps accurately price domains as well as incentivizes honest market participation" can't you say this in a lighter way?

Open to ideas.

how about using something like the graphic from 33s in the bitshares.org video to explain how the centralized OLD domain name authority can be decentralized. in the first picture, the ICANN icon can be on the top, with the users all trading "up," and in the NEW the auction can be centered between them..

Could you explain this differently, I am a little lost here :/ Thanks!

Video! Awesome.  +5%

Then transition to OLD versus NEW comparison

32-48s is good.
