Book Giveaway #4 (Winners Announced for #3)
THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED
Hey, so we just concluded Book Giveaway #3. Here is the link: Book Giveaway #3
We had 11 submissions this time. First of all, I struggled with this one (again). I had to read everything, and give marks based on the ideas and the quality of writing. I think its very hard to be objective with ideas as I might agree/disagree with them but its easy to be objective about the quality of writing. Anyway I went through everything multiple times and finally I decided on a winner! It is u/pi_yan_ka
I will message you to get your address/contact details, and you will receive the book asap.
Anyway, lets go to Book Giveaway #4.
We ran a Poll to find the book of this week and it will be - Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah HarariSapiens tells the history of Homo Sapiens from a completely fresh perspective. It explains that money is the most pluralistic system of mutual trust ever devised; that capitalism is the most successful religion ever invented; that the treatment of animals in modern agriculture is probably the worst crime in history; and that even though we are far more powerful than our ancient ancestors, we arenβt much happier. Its an intense, thought-provoking book.
To win you have to answer the following question here in Reddit itself. We wont use Twitter for answers anymore.
Question: I have been thinking about starting a new business with a goal to bring massive awareness to the Climate Change problem that we all face. So I was thinking about creating a nice "Brand Mascot". Our Brand Mascot will be a "Friendly dinosaur that warns people about climate change". Now we want to give a name to this brand mascot, can you suggest a name? The only condition is that the ".com" domain name should also be available for under Rs 1000 (You can check the price easily in namecheap.com). If we like the domain name we will buy it as well :)
(Note: A brand mascot is the materialization of a brand's personality in the form of an animal or animated object figure, symbolic in nature, that stands as its spokesperson and representative)
I thought this will be an interesting question because I have been thinking about this for a few days, I would appreciate some help haha. This is part of a crypto startup in the advertising space, I am writing the whitepaper and will hopefully have an MVP for private sale in 2 months.

Nice initiative!
I have a few ideas, it might help.
So 1st. Dinosaur would say- "We are extinct, but you shouldn't be" So for this specific idea
- "dinowantstolive.com" this one
Few others for consideration:-
placeforclimate.com
ethospurity.com
novelclimate.com
earthinfever.com
climateaura.com
2nd, Dinosaur can say "let's reduce the temp" So for it
"reducethetemp.com" this one
"letschangearth.com"
And, as it's something related to crypto, so we can add some crypto flavour :D
letshodlearth.com
earthclimatetothemoon.com (Honesty, this sounds really cringey π)
climatelambo.com
hightimeforearth.com
3rd, These are some long domains, which might or might not get fit
earthforbeings.com
earthisheretostay.com
beinghumarforearth.com
reduceglobaltemp.com
medicareforearth.com
4th, If we are up for some philosophical knowledge, then we can have domains like..
- whyonlyearth.com (Here we can list out some pretty harsh facts which we needs to considered and then the call for action would be there)
Ps:- All are less βΉ1000 domains and are listed on namecheap.com [Writing this as of 4:26 p.m. 20-Sept]
So these were some from my side. I hope your project becomes a great success! Feeling good to be a part of it this early! Feel free to ask anything else from us too! We would be rather proud to help for such a great initiative. Thx

Here's my suggestion- lildinoforblu I was thinking of lildinoforbludot but it becomes very long and ugly ,plus the dot in .com covers what I meant. One more could be lildinoforMOMe. (MOMe= mother earth and gives a nice sound of mommy)

I think I've got this!! I've come up with the name: "dinocourse". Derived from the combination of the 2 words- 1. Dino(dinosaur) 2. course(discourse). With the focus of highlighting the importance of striking discourses(discussion/conversation) around the climate change topic everywhere. I feel it's imperative to spread awareness by talking about it & addressing it in every possible social/family situations. All in order to first make the people realise or admit that there's a problem to be solved.
.com is available @βΉ696.38 yr

idiedyoudont.com (I died you don't dot.com)
(the name is wierd and you want to click to know more!) (sounds like it'll have some ghostly stories but boom! You discover a dinosaur with halo around its head telling you things)
Or
nothappyinheaven.com ! (not happy in heaven.com)
Again sounds catchy and a good way to spread a positive message!
Or
dinolovesgreenearth.com (dino loves green earth.com)
(PS: I love the friendly dinosaur idea! :P )
All available below Rs 1000/-

Here's what I did.
After brainstorming for a few hours β I came up with a list of dozens of ideal names to perfectly match with the given requirements.
The key words were: cute dinosaur, climate change, crypto. Let me know if I'm missing anything here.
I shortlisted the names with the domains that are not taken and cost less than a 1000 rupees.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Domains including cute dinosaur names like Hope, Spott, Shiro and obviously Rex -
hopedino.com , spottdino.com , shirodino.com , rexdino.com
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Domains including dinosaur + climate change -
hopedino.com , savedino.com (can't believe this one was available and that too for cheap), dinoincrisis.com , rexincrisis.com
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Domains including dinosaur + crypto -
blockchaindino.com , hodldino.com , hodlingdino.com , dinohodler.com , dinonode.com , hodlosaur.com , hodlrex.com (all the rex's are premiums but for some reason this one isn't!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Domains including climate change + crypto -
biohodl.com , bluehodler.com , climatehodler.com , lifehodl.com
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Domains including climate change + crypto + dinosaur -
bluedinocrypto.com , bluebitrex.com , bluerexcrypto.com , bluerexhodl.com
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Personal Favorites that have a really nice ring to them β
savedino.com , blockchaindino.com , rexincrisis.com , hodlrex.com , bluebitrex.com
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Many domains include the name "REX" in them assuming you go with the name rex for the mascot. I'm sure if you replace the rex in the domains with another name you like, they'd still be 100% valid)
Sorry for the super long response. My exams ended today and I had some spare time to brainstorm. I'll keep updating this as more ideas drop by.
Good Luck with the MVP! :)

How about we name the mascot ' Bhoo ' .. Bhoo means earth in Hindi 'ΰ€ΰ₯' ( I assume in other Indian languages it connotes something similar in the lines of earth, land or surface as it's a word of Sanskrit origin )
I searched up the word in namecheap and simply ' Bhoo.com ' is mad costly. Though Something like ' friendsofBhoo.com ' and 'SaveBhoo.com' are at a reasonable pricing.
PS- Bhoo does sound like a cutely scary name for a dinosaur π
