The domain was originally priced at $1 million, but after six months of intermittent negotiations, the team finally negotiated a 50% discount. The founder joked that this negotiation saved them a Lamborghini. He added that the $500,000 represents approximately 1/62 of the company’s total funding, and the new domain will be officially announced later.
