Any luck with Pheenix?

[Qubelycom]

Has anyone had any luck with Pheenix over the last like 2 months?

I have just came back to drop catching after a couple of months off and Pheenix seems to be even worse than before, I mean I back ordered several domains a day ago and was able to hand register 1 of them and the rest went to the other services.

The problem with this is that these algos are not 100% reliable. They do fail sometimes. In that case they are just not guessing it right and stop making requests when they can't register a domain. . . .At least that is my theory.

I have another additional theory, I have been thinking about this since I read this thread. I have DC so I watch who catches what on a daily basis. I think it is possible that Pheenix only has so much power and they focus on the names that have the most backorders, and/or where they can make the most money, especially if they get names that end up going for auction. KIM I only check around 500 names per day so my sample size is skewed
