Today, I’m launching NeoGenesis Capital with @YianniPsaltis.
Five years ago, I became an early investor in @Colossal Biosciences. Then @BenLamm and @Geochurch built a platform at the intersection of Superintelligence and Synthetic Biology that can build living products……

- The stored $9,900 is from when jupiter.si was first added with the planets set (around Oct 16). No change was ever recorded after that.
- The nightly refresh should re-check it every night, because it's a listed domain. The function returns the correct $119,888 today.
- I can't prove whether last night's run checked it and Afternic changed the price afterwards, or whether the run skipped it. The refresh only writes a line when a price changes, and it keeps no "last checked" date per domain. That's also why I couldn't tell you when it was last run.
Thanks for checking it out!
Afternic has been wonky, I thought about removing Afternic entirely, but I have to believe some listings are accurate, and leaving it could be helpful for those looking for deals, or price discovery. A lot of too good to be true listing fail to be added to cart, and just redirect to a GoDaddy page with a message that says "This domain is registered, but may still be available" such as:
http://afternic.com/domain/3.com for $60,000 (registry reserved)
https://www.afternic.com/domain/du.com for $4,000
I've noticed other listings that appear more legit return an error that says "Error occurred processing link" when attempting to add a domain to cart such as:
https://www.afternic.com/domain/judy.si
I'm not sure if there is a difference between errors.
Thinking outloud, maybe I could add a rule to confirm afternic listing by seeing if the domain will actually add to cart. Or some other acceptable solution that doesn't get flagged.
I'm at 99% of my Claude weekly usage, so I'll push an update tomorrow. But here's what Claude Code told me in response to asking about the discreptency:

I set it to record the date of last checked going forward. I'm thinking some of the issue is afternics links staying live even after a domain owner removes the listing.
I can see the $119,888 BIN live on:
