discuss Lost a hemp domain at the last second of an auction

[Keith]

The $1511 was my proxy kicking in, after the other bidder was able to bid with no time left.

They’re choosing to run auctions via an app. Time went beyond zero and they accepted further bidding. It should be a closed case, although knowing them it won’t be @Joe Styler

The problem lies in the app and they should fix it for sure. But I don't think the next person who gave bid after you (when you saw it closed at your end) had it closed as well and still was allowed to bid. I wonder when this will be fixed.

Every time a new update is out which says bug fixes and app crash fix, etc. But app keeps on crashing since last many months. They're too slow in fixing things up.

 

[ecomslice]

you guys catch that , ive literally seen the timer go to 0 , say im the winning bidder. but godaddy says it was running on my end, not theirs. lol. there the Cache King, making lots of Cache ,

ill be jumping on some more BS with afternic/GD fun soon on threads if they dont figure it out. there good at trying. just need to rebuild the foundation.

 

[ThatDomainGuy]

Given the auction closed $1000 higher, looks like it really wasn’t over,’probably just made him more mad, and he bid more, who really wins in the end?

im still a newb here in the Domain world , but...... i was pretty heavy into playing Apple Calls and Puts for years. I learned very quickly in those years , NEVER rely on the speed and process threw an APP of any kind.
WHY would you risk an Entry or an Exist by placing your execution threw an APP ???????????? Just curious.

Sometimes you are out, or tied up, and you can’t be on a pc, and the website portion is not very mobile friendly. The app has skyrocketed prices for sure, and delayed closing times with that last second tap.

then your priorities are off as an investor !!!!!
if your "out" ,,, when u should have been in. well. id say re- evaluate your priorities
heck. even hyper fast servers miss ins and outs all day long on freaking super computers.
sorry. no sympathy here

 

[ThatDomainGuy]

That’s a ridiculous thing to say.

GoDaddy is offering a service. If their service is flawed, that’s not my fault, that’s theirs.

No its Not !

Keith sorry u lost.
But what i said was fact and truth.
Do you trade common stocks , Options , Pennies ?
Its never going to be up to your liking, you play the game by their rules. not your own. And MISSING happens. Nano seconds.
Domaining is so un regulated its a joke in a way.
Im not trying to pour salt on the wound. Your trying to make actions by the second. its Delay.
I would never in my life rely on an APP and my Cell to make any business acquisition
Its like trying to argue with the people at Etrade , Scotts , etc
this has been a topic of Trading for ever !!!
Missing the ins and outs due to computers and servers. As an Options trader, these are just the real issues u face and deal with. No other way around it bub

 

[ThatDomainGuy]

It’s not about the domain, I’ve got plenty of those. It’s about offering a service and duping people into thinking it’s reliable. If it doesn’t work then take it down. Otherwise, honor the platform.

i totally get it. I know its not the domain u lost. and i agree 100% with u. the system has kinks in it. Maybe they should have some type protection orders ? A way to cover your self. Like a Stop Limit Order. More so a Limit Order.

I think there still catching up with shoveling coal into the Turbine , and fiddling with the abacus calculator

 

[wwwweb]

Given the app, and all the automated bots that keep bidding these days, I wonder if Godaddy would go back a 2 minute format, or even 3 minutes, as 5 minutes is just a waste of life.

 

[ThatDomainGuy]

Nobody is bitching. This is a situation that GoDaddy could handle better. Some suggestions have already been made. I don’t care about what issues other companies have. We’re talking domains here...

lol
like a rock you are. its a f-ing CONNECTION issue. what dont u understand ??????
its not GoDaddies problem
and the fact that you say "other companies"
this is a difference of TIME and MILLA Seconds domain guy. so its as basic as basic is if you cant understand that this is an issue out of your control , out of GoDaddys control.
these "other companies" are the companies that make the world go round.
Billions and Billions of dollars are spent just on this exact issue your trying to figure out by calling out GoDaddy.

 

[ThatDomainGuy]

ding ding. keith wins once again folks, he is undisputed champ when it comes down to his own logic and thoughts. better luck next time.

ALOHA EVERYONE

 

[Keith]

Keith trying to explain to you would be a waste of all out time . @JoeStyler tried to explain it. He mentions Connection and Server.
I understand lag time and connection speed. Do yo self a flavor and hit the old interweb search.

Again, tell us how many different times are displayed for viewers of any given auction? You can’t do it.

If time is added to an auction, the page automatically refreshes. It should refresh with the correct time, not a time that’s seconds off.

You can’t have 100 auction participants all seeing different countdowns and blame it on connection speed.

 

[Keith]

Keith

Do u want me to hold your hand and link very easy explanation videos for you ?
Instead of arguing , do a search.
Like I said. I understand all of this and the reasons why you don’t understand it.
Being an Options trader for 10yrs I quickly became trained to not fight the system of data transfer and server issue. I understand your frustrations , but come on. Get a grip. This issue is not a new bug. They can update their programs every day specifically for these problems. Are they going to work ?
No. Things could speed up. But at that point yo mist yo bus gus.
You might fight it interesting if you actually read up on this problem in the Financial World.

So the answer is that you don’t have a clue how many different times people are seeing during GoDaddy auctions.

Executing a stock trade at an exact time would have an obvious correlation with connection speed. Resetting a clock to display a countdown isn’t remotely the same.

your like a 5yr old. get over yourself there sport. u demand answers from people like your some type of guru. when in fact your not.
u simply dont understand wtf it is your trying to fight here. good night. continue to try and push. call tech support. stop your baby bitching

 

[carob]

Basically your phone isn't connecting to the server or the auction account correctly and it can't update the fact that you were outbid.

So the app believes there are no new bids.

That is one thing. But it is another thing IF believing their have been no new bids after a certain period of time the app THEN by default by itself tells you the auction has closed - without learning that from the server. Surely it could be set to only say auction closed when it has received a status message from the server that says auction closed?

People on here have suggested it should show a Pending message on the screen. Then the bidder would at least check as best they could what is happening.

 

[lock]

I think you were saved a tad high for a reseller. Then again you probably have a buyer in mind.

 

[Furquan]

I experienced the same issue with the app, the name was traffic domain & after two to three days it was listed on hugedomain

Forget that name & move on.

 

[Daniel Owens]

that is a 'high' quality domain that's too bad you were outbid so late in auction when it appeared over.

That is the thing in every auction, there is always one other person in it not letting anyone have it cheap. In doesn't matter about the app, if he was going to get outbid, he was going to get outbid by the outside party he has no control of.

It is good that he spoke up, and brought it to the attention of the developers, there is no way they can fix that lag issue, sometimes a slow wifi, or broken signal, they just have to change the closing seconds after to pending, until they can confirm sold.

The auction continued to roll, and it's not like the next bid won it, it sold for a 50% premium to the bid where they thought they had won it.

 

[DN_Hunter]

Wow, just saw that in the end he got the domain for $267 (because the high bidder never paid). That's a bargain!

 

[Ategy]

While there could be a lag/connection issue, I too have experienced this on my PC (not the app), and in at least some cases it most certainly is not due to lag or a connection issue. It is the result of the combination of two programming logic flaws (one has been mentioned already).

I'd say it's bad programming logic .. but I haven't done any serious programming in many years, so while I know what the problem is, and the programming logic behind it, I'm not sure what the limitations of the programming language/platform are, so I don't know if the obvious fixes are technically possible (could also simply be deliberately the way it is for performance reasons .. lesser of two evils sort of thing).

As per usual .. I do not share or discuss specific details of open bugs/glitches .. so as frustrating as it is, there is no point in asking me for specifics here or in private.


All that said .. I think it's a good thing you lost it .. definitely overpriced .. if you have buyers of Cannabis domains PM me!

GD sure can be buggy alright. I was just bidding on an auction with 1 minute remaining but it would not register my bid at all. I tried several times, even refreshing the page. Note, this was in my web browser and not the app. Unfortunately the auction ended and never registered my bid.

I mean this is very rare but I do recall this happening once or twice before.

I will send an email to the auctions time to let them know of course.
