Hey Coltron thanks for engaging I really appreciate it!
Many people forget to renew their names. Or don’t renew for all sorts of reasons. These people could be broke(can’t afford to renew), stupid(forget to renew a premium name), busy, ignorant(don’t know its value/how to/should renew), dead or disabled(in crisis or accident). They might not be able to sell on the secondary market and this rule specifically discriminates against them. Why don’t you think these people deserve the proceeds?
I don’t directly see how the option for someone to sell on the secondary market justifies taking the proceeds if they do not sell it there.
Edit: I just realized that in my original post I forgot to link to @slobo.eth’s comment I was referring to. And I am not able to edit that post anymore so adding here.
