Register the pxxc domain variants (.com, .nl, .eu) — REJECTED
- Type: chore (user action)
- Track: W (website)
- Status: rejected 2026-08-09 by the user, same day it was filed. The homework had already been done; the ticket restated a concern the user had already weighed and declined. pxxc.org is live and canonical, and that is the scope they want.

What was actually checked (2026-08-09, DNS)
Filed on the assumption the variants were free. Verified before closing:
| domain | status | detail |
|---|---|---|
pxxc.com |
registered, not ours | delegated at the .com registry to ns1/ns2.cnolnic.com (Baidu Cloud, 106.12.x / 180.76.x). Those nameservers do not answer — every recursive returns SERVFAIL. Taken and dead. |
pxxc.nl |
NXDOMAIN — free | not registered |
pxxc.eu |
NXDOMAIN — free | not registered |
pxxc.org |
ours, live | Cloudflare aspen/patrick.ns.cloudflare.com |
So the user's recollection was right about the priority item: .com was gone
before this was ever filed, which removes the "close it permanently for €30"
framing the ticket was built on. The two ccTLDs are in fact still available —
recorded here as a fact, not as a re-argument. The decision is made.
Why it is not worth reopening on a whim
The parked .com is a fact about the world now, not a gap we can close. If
impersonation ever becomes a live concern, the defence that works is the one
[[feature-web-tracker-and-host-portability]] already owns: our signing key,
key continuity, and the fingerprint published in more than one place. That
verifies an artifact no matter which address it came from, which is the property
buying a domain never gives you. Reopen only if the user says so.
Log
- 2026-08-09 — filed and rejected the same day. Filed when resolving
[[docs-canonical-domain]], on the assumption the variants were unregistered
and the item was decaying. The user had already done this homework and
declined; DNS confirms
.comis registered (parked on non-responding nameservers) and.nl/.euare free. Closed at the user's direction.
