Having decided to keep a lookout for interesting crypto related .com domains, this is the start of something a little strange and still ongoing.
I shall keep my side limited due to this being an ongoing process and unless the other party wants to add their information, I shall also leave their additional details out for privacy and respect.
For speed, Google Domains will be shortened to GD.
For time-related information, I am based in the UK and will quote current GMT (GMT+1). Any other times quoted are direct lifts from their sources, such as icann.
TLDR: One domain name, currently owned by two separate people who both purchased correctly.
The domain name in question is oncrypto.com. I saw that this was an expiring domain early on Saturday 28th which was due to be dropped around 18:45. I placed an order and an acceptable cost to me with a third party (not going to mention at this time) to attempt to obtain on my behalf and transfer to my GD account when completed.
Excitingly I got an email to say that the domain had been transferred to my account at 18:43.
Checking within GD, it indeed shows the domain there within my account and my control.
Happy with my little purchase, I go and tell you, happy people, about it in the "Your reg. of the day" thread.
Following a couple of queries by anantj I started to have a couple of doubts. All the details within the GD show correct, so off I go and do a whois.
It's not mine..........
It appears that he also has the domain on a snipe list and purchased it through another registrar.
There is one domain, with two potential owners.
Mistakes happen and whoever it ends up with, they have a good name.
The only information that I can offer up as valid and true at this moment is the following.
Purchase completed and domain accepted into an account under my control at 18:43:35.
Logs and data provided by GD gives whois entry as
Creation Date: 2018-04-28T18:43:33Z
Actual whois entry for the domain shows
Creation Date: 2018-04-28T18:46:02Z
At this moment in time, anantj appears to be the rightful owner as whois and DNS records are under his control and it appears I've missed out on a good deal.
But I've passed this back to the people who took the money and Google to address and we'll see where this rabbit hole goes to.
