I didn't want to put in this Sold, as I don't know the price, but it looks like Aura.ca sold in mid-September.

Loved that name and I wish I could have won it.

Thank the lord for the "Special Block List Release" and all the goodies contained therein, because the regular TBR list is a big pile of crap.

Well the top bid so far at NP is $2,001, which we can easily assume is for RM, so at least we have a baseline.

And now we wait.....
$2400 (obviously for RM) was the highest bid at NP, and nothing else over $61.02, for obvious reasons. It's a 1-shot Hail Mary.

And WHC got RM!
BM also got quite a few nice ones.

and congrats to them. I'd have rather been scheduling their targets than ours, but so be it...
(edit: so, we'll be running post-reg auctions for giftbasket.ca optimus.ca jcl.ca contemporary.ca headline.ca)

And those are some serious wins!
This is going to be a crazy week and I think I just need to be happy with whatever I won and move on. The Restricted TBR Whales are swimming in and I'll probably get drowned by their wake.

WHC has spent the $$ to be the biggest (most threads), and built a good customer experience too. There's so much randomness at the CIRA end that clever engineering can only "help". It can't beat the thread count.

The water is warm, jump in, there's room for everyoneAnd those are some serious wins!
This is going to be a crazy week and I think I just need to be happy with whatever I won and move on. The Restricted TBR Whales are swimming in and I'll probably get drowned by their wake.
When there are lots of auctions going on, that's way better than having just one good domain in a week. It'll help average prices down since everyone can win something and walk away happy....

Pretty random results at WHC, where you see crap like VosClassees (3 initial bids), Vicki (2 initial bids), and BusinessMail (2 initial bids) sitting in 3rd, 4th and 5th, and all before RM (with 31 initial bids + $1450 bid price). Sorry, but I don't see how that happens - 1 or 2 junkers I might (might!) understand, but 3?
And even DriftCafe (2 initial bids) came in at 9th before a bunch of other big players like RSS, Contemporary and Optimus.
I know the TBR is random, but this seems way too random based on the perceived demand.
Don't get me wrong, I am pleased with our results.Pretty random results at WHC, where you see crap like VosClassees (3 initial bids), Vicki (2 initial bids), and BusinessMail (2 initial bids) sitting in 3rd, 4th and 5th, and all before RM (with 31 initial bids + $1450 bid price).

I know the TBR is random, but this seems way too random based on the perceived demand.
There's no way to prioritize it. I was cursing because I initially laid out 8 threads for rm.ca, and then swapped 2 over to giftbaskets.ca, and since it was the later/failsafe threads that got the better timestamps, it is sure that our 0.301 timestamp was on one of the threads I had initially allocated to rm.ca
A fairly good analogy is grabbing a handful of darts (one for each thread), writing a domain name on each, and throwing them (all at once) at the dartboard. If you've got 100 threads, you're going to write rm.ca on a lot of those darts, giftbasket.ca on quite a few, and some names you'll only write once. Some domains you'll save for the second round. In this case, the timestamp is how close that dart came to a perfect bullseye.
The point being there's a darn good chance that a dart for a lesser valued domain may well get the best score. you don't get to allocate domains to darts after the throw.
WHC got 14 domains in the first throw (4.9 timestamps are second throw). I have NO idea how many times they wrote rm.ca on a dart. I have no idea how WHC chooses which domains to write on which darts. I do know we've recently seen them register 79 domains in a 5 second window, so they're throwing at LEAST that many darts.
Every dart has a cost ($1000/thread, 52 weeks in a year, aproximately, $20 per first round dart ). If you allocate 50 darts to rm.ca, you're guaranteed that 49 will NOT get a domain.
Given that their best rm.ca dart was 5th out of their 14 1st round registrations, you might be able to make a good guess at how many of their darts had rm.ca on them. Anyone here good at statistics? Permutations and combinations? Damn, is my degree really three decades old? Can approximate without permutation... just what percentage or darts have rm.ca on them so that you have to go to the 5th pick before your chance of getting an rm.ca dart exceeds 50% ... about 15-16% of the requests are rm.ca ? Yeah, that seems low/odd or really bad luck (or the bidding wasn't as focused on rm.ca as we might think).
(the dart board is a better example if you cut the dart board in half, anything below a perfect bullseye is too early and doesn't count. Lots of 4.99 and 5.00 registrations today, so there were lots of too earlys.)
Yes, we do spread our actual requests out over an interval (thus the late/failsafe reference above), but it's a surprisingly short window, and there isn't much of a correlation between the timestamp returned and when the thread was launched.
my apologies for rambling/the long post. - Tom
