Well, I must admit, using a .us domain entirely mystifies me. Nor do I understand why anyone would participate in this type of auction.

If you want my vote, I prefer "฿ + buttonlike", but I wouldn't use green, it doesn't fit with your color scheme.

What's wrong with a .us domain?

What's wrong with a .us domain?

Well, three things.
1. The US has definite control of .us domains. When Congress wants to censor the internet, giving them control over your domain is questionable.
2. Why would you want to show any sort of national allegiance?
3. .us domains are supposed to represent companies in the US. Your domain was registered in Germany.

the problem is that .com .net and .org are taken
and a website with an .us is way better than for example .to etc

by the way don't you think they will take down .org .com and .net, too if they like to do so

Do they have the capability to take down any domain? Yes. Do they have clear legal jurisdiction to do so? No, at least in my opinion.

.com, .net, and .org are not under clear legal control. .us is. That's the difference.

More my problem with it is the misrepresentation, though. If you do not like the other non-nationally affiliated options (.co & .biz are perfectly acceptable) at least choose a nationally affiliated one that does not misrepresent your location. .de or .eu are both available.
