I would love to hear the story about .coop. Have you written about it anywhere or would you be willing to chat privately about it? my details are in my profile.

Which is exactly what .info, .biz and other new TLDs did to make cash as well. Each TLD that launched was assured something like 200-300k registrations from brands/speculators. Now, ICANN can jump on the money-printing bandwagon.

Most parked pages make very little from search engine traffic. Very few were listed anyways. A couple domain parking solutions were trying to get around this but adding content hurts conversion rates on ads. The better names still get ty

That's very noble. But if that 50k domain name would beat the returns on all the other ways you are talking about deploying your capital, it only makes sense to buy it.

Let me begin with this, you hate me. And I think that's ok. I made a living off domains for a while and continue to make money from them. Moving on... I don't think that your solution is a real one. Getting 'discouraged and fucking righ

That's Mind+Machines, and yes, it's a mega-landgrab. That guy has been going on and on for years about how amazing this will be and how everyone wants it. I cite: http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090923_61_businesses_tell_ic... It's a jo

Minds+Machines looks like they applied for 80 tlds. This is just going to get ridiculous.

Here is what you need to know: What status is the domain in (expired, rgp, pendingdelete). Expired means the registrar has renewed it for free for X days (it lasts up to like 45 days I think, it depends on registrar's policy). RGP is expe

Considering you're asking them to build the whole product 8k seems fairly cheap. Run some of the numbers: Let's say it takes 1 month to build an MVP with 2 people at a small firm. Programmer + (Programmer OR Designer) = 2 people 40hrs/week

Or you used a tool to change your account to 1537 and nobody could ever find you because hundreds, if not thousands, of people all used that same shared account.

He may have common law rights. I would talk to an IP lawyer and/or see if you can negotiate it down to something you would be willing to pay.

Disclaimer: not a lawyer I think you're wasting your time. Odds are he owned it before you, they could claim they have been using it longer. Although from my understanding they couldn't come after you unless they have a formal trademark re

Let's do some math. He's saying he gets 90% of the bonus pool and expects many other people only get 100-200. So 5 others, 500-1000 for them, his take home would be 4500-9500 bonus. If there are 10 others, 1000-2000 for them, his take home

Or he could simply be replacing himself with no reward. Oh, you've automated it? Thanks. Bye.

If I were an investor and saw that type of behavior, I would put my money with them. That's a great move. I'd reinvest if the guy said 'we messed up, we're compensating you for it.' Of course if there were any pattern or regularity to the

It seems like hindsight is still 20/20. I wonder how much of this is simply crafting a story loosely around a person/company.

Maybe 200 is too small a sample size, but you can glean and predict stuff with that sort of data. My master's thesis was about predicting box office sales based off twitter data. (coincidentally these guys published a couple months before

Each event is put on by a set of organizers, I would look at it slightly more from a franchise perspective. It's probably not Startup Weekend's fault. I've been an organizer before and I am sorry you didn't get what you won; but don't go

I am not 100% convinced. I would have thought GET would be slightly less secure than POST. You use the JS example. If I were running NoScript or something where JS didn't work someone could use <img src="follow?username=value" &#62

Seems more self promotional than anything. After visiting the author's site I was quite depressed. Claiming to be selling names for 25% of their market price. Stupid claims such as that one is just insulting. If there were a market pric

I recommend contacting a lawyer who specializes in domains: Stevan Lieberman (www.aplegal.com) John Berryhill (johnberryhill.com) Ari Golderberger (esqwire.com) Those are 3 of the best. Your options are contact NameCheap and see what they

The title is a bit misleading. I don't see any evidence of a hack. Just because a vulnerability was discovered doesn't mean it was used to compromise accounts. It is possible, but it was always possible with or without this vulnerability
