Just to follow up... I totally won the Hackathon! Thanks ProductHunt! It was pretty compelling to do my little demo with the logs of people checking domain registrations scrolling by furiously in the background. Besides the unending admiration of my coworkers *cough* *cough* and a shoutout from our CEO, I won a new laptop... which is awesome, since my wife managed to finally kill her old one last week. Thanks!
Definitely curious how this will be used. No doubt url regexes will choke on them, but they have the cool factor for sure.
@inorganik Oh man... there's all kinds of weirdness dealing with UTF-8 domains. Even getting a character count is kind of strange.

@bentossell Thanks for sharing this! I really appreciate it! Always satisfying to finish a project a 3:00 am, get a few hours of restless sleep, and wake up to people actually using the thing I built. That's why I love being a Developer!
How did it work for you guys?
I bought 💥🔑.ws for https://pulpkey.com :)
Just got the order confirmation from GoDaddy but they are not showing the domain in the dashboard. When called they said the registry failed to process the domains. Anyone else?
@rrhoover Same thought! I guess I'll redirect it to my website?
Waiting to see where the proud owner of 💩.ws points their domain 😏 so far it just says "woot"
