The UK ROR 'WHO GOT WHAT?' thread

[Sean]

I thought I was risking it all today by going 6ms early!

 

[chrisvaughanuk]

Can't believe it was that early. It seems everyday I've underestimated just how early to go and I was reluctant to commit too much quota to find out.

I got the ones I really wanted for work, which made it worthwhile I guess, but between some proper screw ups with configuration and underestimating just how early we needed to fire, I haven't capitalised anywhere near as much as I would've liked.

It fluctuated a lot. In the test bed I'd sometimes get the best results by starting at 2PM. In the last week I had USLEEP (PHP) set to go from 13:59:59 at 960000 to 980000 and I'd get varying results. I suspect the top catchers were starting around this time and flooding with requests for the same domain but I didn't go for it fully.

Are people having luck flogging their new stock on dan.com?

 

[ian]

I sent 100ms early today, 1st create "reserved by nominet", 2nd create "domain registered"...it was that tight!

Has Denys got Donald Trump doing his copywriting?

Only based on the domain names that we were attempting, these are the stats we have.
Where did you place?

We caught 4 from this list, not a bad catch, but missed on k.uk & z.uk

That was for big players I guess

We caught 4 from this list, not a bad catch, but missed on k.uk & z.uk

That was for big players I guess

I did try for k.uk but then when it came around to z.uk I knew it would be out of my reach so didn't even bother trying.

Also happy to help anyone with registrations - as long as there aren't too many requests!

Didn't get the really big names I was hoping for today but I can't be too unhappy:-

hdd.uk
hungry.uk
itsecurity.uk
learned.uk
lasersurgery.uk
middlesex.uk
jst.uk
grandad.uk
maplesyrup.uk (wife's Canadian so there must be a use for that one somewhere)
hunger.uk
hottub.uk
insuranceclaim.uk
giv.uk

Also got lacanshire.uk and glardeing.uk but that is what happens when you put your lists together at 5AM!

I got grandma! What a pair.

 

[chrisvaughanuk]

I got grandma! What a pair.

Ha. I wonder if you're wondering what to do with yours too?!

 

[Gav]

You could bundle them up with my oaps.uk.

Ha. I wonder if you're wondering what to do with yours too?!

I need the pair so that I can have some fun with it... but I'm not really up for paying you for the privilege .

I picked up ℂ U |\/| dot you kayy. That's the one that I'm really wondering what to do with

Whoops posted twice

 

[newguy]

I only ended up with two, but didn't go for many.. RealityTV.uk and RoyalFlush.uk . They're not single word domains of course, but in their own way I think they have a decent amount of potential.

 

[dee]

Just out of interest, people talking about going early, was it just luck, or was there method to working out how early to go? Is there a way of seeing the actual create time on these from the return response ? Not that it will affect anything now of course.

My approach was to have a process that continually rinsed the DAC with my list of names that I wanted to target. I connected it early and kicked this process off about 10 seconds before the deadline. It would examine the responses back and begin registration when it saw ANY name registered. That's how I kicked mine off every day. If my system didn't spot a name that was registered it would kick off registration at the server time of 13:59:59 regardless, this was in case the DAC didn't give me anything useful.

I did that all week until Friday, at which point decided to trim it down to just one name that I knew would be snapped up at the earliest opportunity which was 'z.uk', that worked pretty well.

This approach worked all week for me to guarantee that at least I didn't go early and that it at least tried to catch some names.

However, I did have a slip-up on Thursday, because I edged the start time to a fixed 4 seconds before the 14:00 instead of using the DAC process. I did this cause my logs showed the DAC was indicating that names had been registered that much earlier. Foolish mistake cause my code fired early and I didn't make it clever enough to stop and wait until 14:00 if it fired too early.

I had about 20 others I was thinking about but I've already registered over 110-120 .uk now and it's getting silly

If you want to make me an offer on any then go ahead
