Oh sometimes you can see and feel the future

I got a vision in 2010
This vision came true in 2012

My biggest mistake : i trusted the wrong people ( German Government )

My idea was a slogan
I got all domain names
I invested 50.000€
I tried to get a TM but they denied ( to general )

In 2012 the german olympic team ,,stole,, my idea ( slogan ) for the olympic games in London

We had a Settlement at court in Frankfurt
The Boss of the Olympic Team ( Thomas Bach ) is the President of IOC now
( International Olympic Commitee )
I am still fighting ( and i still got the domain ) www.wir-für-deutschland.de

One day adidas or DFB ( german soccer team ) will come and buy my domain

This slogan is to good for soccer


That,s why i dont like Trademarks
I didnt got the TM
The olympice team got it for the exact same slogan

Eppur si muove
Ohh hopefully it is going on well with you. TM domains very headache

Too many to list but most notably: A couple of typo backorders, a few 6N & 7N domains (Though decent patterns) and overpaying for a few not so high quality domains :(

You're right.
I just purchase my first .io (This is only my 2nd or 3rd day buying domains as a "domainer" lol) for $32 on Namecheap... the odd thing though is it doesn't say what the renewal price is, while the other domains did. I guess since the other domains were on sale. This must mean my renewal price will be the same $32.

At first glance, i didn't even know what dsds mean, afterwards i visited the site and saw...
Kind of, since it was a tv show of theirs and was on .tv ...

Just forgot about my stupidest thing ever.

I registered forex.re from internet.bs, LEGALLY because it showed as available and internet.bs put it in my account. I think i posted here as well, and a french guy called me that i stole his domain name and such... I got scared and gave him the domain... I think i was stupid, I should've fight for it...

My biggest mistake was leaving domaining in 2008 - 2010 just when I was starting out. Now I feel like I am re-learning everything all over again specially now with all these new gTLD's.

I bought chris.net after a big sale of another name I cant mention (NDA)
  • I fell in love with the name chris.net and listened to the hype
  • I wasted the money I made on my first big profit
  • Thought I would always make that big profit
  • Stuck with a name nobody wants that I thought everyone would want = albatros
