Maybe this topic is a little late, but I still wanted to open a separate thread and see what others think. .si is getting attention, but I do not think sales alone tell the full story yet. For me, the more interesting part would be seeing more real websites using .si as the main domain. I would also want to see if people keep renewing them after the hype slows down. A ccTLD feels different once actual users start building on it. What would you look for first with .si: more sales, more developed sites, or stronger renewals?
I’ve just seen it coming up more often on a few domain forums lately, mostly because of the AI / superintelligence angle. Yes, Google is a good example. They always understand the value of country-code domains early. Maybe that is the scale I'm thinking about with .si too: first people notice it, then some use it for redirects or protection, and eventually maybe someone serious uses it as the main site.
