    @Polymarket @PelicanAI_ independently verified the polyboost forensic. Domain registered 22 days ago on Namecheap with privacy shield. Already flagged low-trust by multiple scanners. Same affiliate ring, same bot reply network, same scam. Different wrapper.

  • ESLotherwise Benjamin Thiele (@ESLotherwise) reported

    @melvynx Never had a single Issue with Namecheap. Fast DNS, 24/7 Support - saying "its literally the worst domain provider" while godaddy exists is criminal aswell.

    I stopped using Gmail for business email. Day 4: account suspended. No warning. Replaced with Namecheap Private Email on my own domain in 10 minutes. Rule: never use free infrastructure for anything that generates revenue.

    There’s never been a crazier time to build a startup: Claude = coding ($20/mo) Supabase = backend (free) Vercel = deploy (free) Namecheap = domain ($12/yr) Stripe = payments (2.9%) GitHub = version control (free) Resend = emails (free) Clerk = auth (free) Cloudflare = DNS (free) PostHog = analytics (free) Sentry = error tracking (free) Upstash = Redis (free) Pinecone = vector DB (free) Total cost: ~$20/month Your biggest expense isn’t money anymore it’s execution. What are you building?
