advice We'll register all 7N.com - We need your help (Not your money)

[DomainEmpire.com]

Before starting to share with you what we're going to do, I'd like to ask to all skeptics to avoid any possible negative comment because we're just asking for your help (as you'll read below), not for your money

This's a stange but true story of course even if I'll not share all details of it to safeguard the privacy of the interested parties.

One month ago, a friend of mine knew a rich businessman to a business seminar in Rome (Italy) so they took a coffee together and talked for few hours about multiple topics.
This person explained he's actually leading multiple successful companies (in diff. fields) with a turnover of few million euros per month.

He loves the capitalism but he's even more interested in new ways to invest his funds for an easy and high return.
He loves the risk especially where there's a chance to quintuple a big capital in few months.

Few days ago, I talked again with my friend about his businessman and I spend few hours to explain him what "web domains" are, the big speculation around this market etc .. ok he learned a lot by me so we decided to approach again "his new friend" to propose him a big and ambitious project: registering all remaining 7N.com (excl those with 0-4) to dominate the niche.

Well, he had a first long phone chat with this businessman, he knoe what "domains" are but not the market around them and not even about the growing numeric market.
Now he wants to meet again my friend to discuss more in details the whole project and he'll come with other 2 rich partners.
We've given him a general idea of the needed investment before calculating the number of available 7N etc ... $15M
He didn't get impressed especially when my friend explained it's a totally legit activity and once we'll have reserved all these numbers, their market value will instantly start to grow.

Now he wants to know more details about this project and we're working on them.
He advanced we'll not administer his money (obviously) but his lawyer will do it by following carefully our instructions.
There're still many steps to follow, to write a legal agreement which will safeguard the interest of the involved parties etc ...

If he'll agree to move forward, this will probably happens in the first week of December.
My friend explained him this's a middle term investment but he confirmed to have no hurry to monetize the important is to have a way to verify his investment is getting a good return in terms of value of the acquired assets (as he called the "domains").

I know this will be an hard venture, we'll have to ask for the cooperation of our Gd agent to register a so big number of domains by getting directly in touch with the lawyer who'll adminster the funds etc ...

Ok this's our problem but if the investment should go through, "all players will benefit" by the growing value of this niche.

Why am I sharing this story with you ?
We've no way to check the availability of a so big number of domains and not even a way to be sure to have extracted all 7N without 0-4

May someome confirm the number if possible 7N combimation excluding 0-4 ?
We should be aroud 2,097.730 (more or less) but I'm not a mathematician so I've used some complex techniques to setup this list.

If someone has a way to quickly check their availability and to supply the full available list, we'd appreciate it.
Here's the full list of 7N (excl 0-4) that I've created: www.dnempire.com/7n.rar

If you can help with the following steps, the game will start soon

You can email the list to: domainsales (at) domainempire.com

***Last second update:
We've just been confirmed that 7N w/out 0-4 are exactly 2097152 so we only need your help to find a way to check for their availability in bulk in order to give an estimate budget to our investor even if every week some dozens of thousands are sold out.
The easy way will be to ask to our Gd agent/Gd staff to grab all the available ones at the time of receipt of the funds but I must know first how many of them are still available and "a first version" of the list if someone knows how doing this job

I'd start calling registrars and find out what kind of deal they could cut me.

 

[venturefile.com]

By my calculation there are 2097152 7N without 4 and 0

 

[venturefile.com]

I'd start calling registrars and find out what kind of deal they could cut me.

For sure.. Let's say that 1m are still available any registrar would drop the price a lot if you tell them that you will register 1m domains with them :D

 

[GravityEleven]

Simply run a whois script excluding 0 and 4 in all 7 digits and start from 1111111 to 9999999, returning all domains in a list which get a negative Whois response.. you can do that also at Whois.com via their API and bulk registration account, registering the available combos on the fly to avoid the list being outdated already once completed..

 

[TMarkus]

You shouldn't check all domains to estimate budget. just generate random 50K 7N.com domains and check them. and you will have % of taken domains. Explore it to all possible combinations. The mistake will be not more than 1%.

 

[CJ6]

I have 2 of them. lol

 

[silgro12]

My fingers are crossed that your friend would do that because then the price of my 6Ns will increase rapidly :D

 

[GravityEleven]

prices of 7N will jack up more relative to their current base value than prices of 6N based on their current value in case of a 7N (chips) buyout.. exactly same happened with 5Ns and 6Ns after 6N buyout..

 

[DomainMai]

One of my pegistrars supply a tool which can check the staus and register directly.

[gemstar]

Isn't this unethical to manipulate a market we already know is? Creating a false evaluation based on the amount of registrations by only one entity which will be obviously masked..This would most likely turn into a major black mark on the domain market..

 

[webm]

I have my own custom developed script to check and I can parse the list and provide you the exact domains that are available in a matter of hours. But from a business point of view, what's in it for me ?

 

[Constantin S]

Since your partners want to register so many domains at once, I think it worth a shot to contact ICANN directly and check how they can help you.

 

[GravityEleven]

You can not simply bypass Verisign as the registry for .com and go to ICANN directly.. you could only try to make a deal with Verisign directly, and even that i doubt, nevertheless the numbers and money involved..

 

[domainerfella]

All the best to this endeavor, makes sense.

 

[mibworld]

And why are you making this public? If I were the potential investor it would be in my best interest to keep it quiet. In fact, I would broke any relationship with you if I knew u had disclosed the whole scheme in a public forum.

Not trying to make any accusation, just some reasonable skepticism.

I checked random 5000 7N without 0,4 as suggested. It seems that 2726 are still available, so about 55%

There are many weird things about this post. The most crazy standout is that while posting and waiting, if you are actually waiting, all the best name are gone and the next best are being regs at a pretty good clip. You're just relegating your client to the worst.

can you check again in a couple days? Let's see if they are moving.

 

[Recons.Com]

The only reason to make it public:
- buy few thousand great 7N
- create a hype that buyout is happening soon and get people register random 7N without 0 and 4 (and later those too).

Just a word of caution. Don't have anything against 7N, but don't believe in such public announcements...

 

[gemstar]

Wow. This whole scheme is really bad. To actually post a pump and dump scam like this is just plain stupid. So I guess you make an impression to poor investors that 7n is amazing! Buyout! Woo Hoo !!!
Unaware that the poor Schmuck is part of a pyramid scam.
I thought we were better than this

 

[Ms Domainer]

If this were the stock market, your new friends would end up doing hard time.

I'm having difficulty believing that any registrar would participate in such a scheme by helping your "friends" to gobble a significant segment of a market just to manipulate aftermarket prices upwards and would definitely create a black mark on any participating registrars.

The ethics of such an operation is sketchy at best and downright slimy at worst.

I'm with gemstar: Total scam (pyramid scheme)!

The good news here: your noob friends are likely to lose their shirts; the 7N market is just too large.

#Joe Styler: what is your take on this?

 

[Ms Domainer]

The truth is: this is one of the oldest schemes in the book.

It's not even original.

Bravo! Ms Domainer.

I think you're stretching it a little bit. Most of the registrars would not have any issue doing this. And I think there's at least a couple who would work out a bulk discount. They're in the business of selling names -- that's all this actually is.

Domains surely are not even close to a regulated market which this would matter. And if you think all the 6N's that got reg'd via China in the last weeks of September were all individuals purchasing one name at a time??

The only issue would be URDP for trademark violations in bad faith -- of which, there would be none here.

There are absolutely no rules against buying or holding domains as investments... nor is there anything that says anyone should or would have to pay for 7N names after a buyout.
