[DAO:463bf17] Should we denominate the fee to mint a NAME in USD?

  1. User experience is really bad with the fluctuation of MANA price. If MANA shoots to $3, and a new user encounters a $300 price tag on a new name, that’s very off-putting. As @cazala mentions, the original price target was $5. @Vaporizador also raised this point.
  2. User experience, particularly for new users, should be prioritized to onboard more members into our community.
  3. All the reasons behind the wearables fee denomination in USD also apply for this side of the market.
  4. The speed at which the DAO can change the price of NAMEs is too slow. Setting a price and forgetting about it leads to a leaner governance on the DAO.
  5. There’s no economic change on the DAO’s revenue – the fee is immediately exchanged to MANA.
  6. We’re too early to start prioritizing conversion of users to ‘think in MANA prices’. Agree that it should be the end goal.
