I love a good domain names, and who here doesn't? Though we may traverse the waters on different boats, we're all fishing on the same ocean- the great big sea of domaining. Casting out a net, we can pull up the common tuna, or at times, perhaps something even more..
Thought I'd start this thread for those domains with a uniqueness about them, that at first glance may not be so obvious. Along with showcasing the domain name, please add a little extra explanation as to what is so special about that name that the rest of us undiscerning folk might miss.
So without further ado, presenting the official
~ Weird, Different or Wonderful World of Domain Names ~
To kick it off, I better put my money where my mouth is. So, let's start with a .com:
LeapYour.com
What up with this one? Yeah, well we all want to leap our domain into a profitable return, yes? But what's special about this one, is its word play on Leap Year. I registered it on a leap year, on the leap day! February 29th, 2016. Hence, Leap Your .com. Coincidentally, this year of 2020 is a leap year again.

Huh? Vat the heck is this?? might you ask. Well, let me start by saying, nope, you cannot copy/paste this into a regular browser. This domain uses the .crypto extension, just released late 2019, and is not compatible with the http protocol we are used to with resolving traditional domain name extensions.
But what is special about this particular name, is the amount of characters it uses. We're talking a grand total of 253 characters, including the dot and the extension. With domains regulated by ICANN such as .net or .com, there is a limit of 63 characters BEFORE the dot that one may register. With blockchain domains, however, the limit expands to a TOTAL of 253 characters (including the extension and the dot).

P.S. So how does one access a .crypto domain? Well, not via channels we are accustomed to, to be sure. For now, try pinata.cloud or the ipfs site. eg.:
https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmVgoRJSstw93yVaUZ3fzYc8gwuyUQpobA6Shc9abMKLoC
(a little rudimentary, yes. In fact, just plain caveman.)

Carry on, and don't be shy. Share your wonderful, or weird of the day. Thx
