Pavel Durov admitted that nicknames in Telegram will be sold at auction. His post collected many dislikes - and he hid the reactions under it
Telegram may launch a platform where auctions will be held to sell memorable usernames. This was announced by the messenger founder Pavel Durov in his Telegram channel. Imagine how successful Telegram could be with its 700 million users if we put reserved usernames, group links, and channels up for auction. In addition to millions of memorable t.me addresses like @storm or @royal, all four-letter usernames (@bank, @club, @game, @gift) could be up for sale.
