Why do you want it to be a registrar?

Just use NamePros Auctions.

Atom technically has a registrar now and external auctions.

I wish I could

but I've been around long enuf to know auction here is fraction of dyna or others

example.. I sold name last year I wasn't gonna renew on dyna auction from 1us... at 600us

stockexchange io

we both know here I'd.get 50us max.

incidentally buyer did same auction ending just days ago ... 590us lol

funny

anyway u get the point.

we all know this.

u probably best know it

 

[alcy]

had quick look at porkbun auctions

tons of 4lcom

good prices..

looks like they have alot of eyes there

any experience??

asked support for external dn

sav may not have many eyes

dyna good good traffic

spaceship.. no check yet

namecheap...dunno

 

[alcy]

anyone?

it's not really impossible allow ext names... winner just pays transfer fee on top

same way most auctions charge renew fee on top of bid for local names

 

[alcy]

Genuine question, what's NPs incentive to build out these landers and market them so heavily? May not be actually spending much money, but definitely a big push lately on social media and here, of course.

Is there a long-term play in motion to monetize them, or is it simply just a value add to the already "free" forum? I guess I could see some additional people paying for gold to unlock some of the features, but is that the whole play?

Aren't porkbun auctions essentially the same as Dynadot? I forget exactly what all registrars/auction platforms overlap, and I know some are mostly aggregators but I know I see a lot of the same domains across porkbun/dynadot/sav/gname/park.io and others

not same at all

PB just carries some or all dd expireds

if vice versa I'm not sure

there is no such thing as 2 registrars have exactly same auctions.

impossible plus illogical

Hey there, I wanted to give you a quick update on DomainBFF. I've been taking all the proceeds and reinvesting them directly into the APIs and infrastructure that power the tools. They're performing better than they ever have, and I've added even more data sources to make the research even stronger. You might remember that this is a passion project for me. I'm not in this to turn a profit. I just want to build the best possible set of tools for the domaining community and keep them as affordable as I can.

@Bravo Mod Team, apologies for jumping in — the mic is yours now.

Interesting. I'm on the forums at least once daily, my X feed is primarily all domain realated, and I even have been active in the landers thread/have made recs which were implemented and I can confidently say I have never seen that.

That's exciting!

Edit: Also not sure if you meant to quote that 2nd thread, but DomainBFF is a passion project of mine and something that I use personally every day and has made me a much better domainer. I work on it in my spare time as a hobby and enjoy shipping new domain tools as it's my "hobby" and a primary income stream. Through DNBFF I get to participate in something I love and build out enterprise tools and provide them at essentially cost while being able to offer the community that same opportunity.

I'm running at a loss and hope to keep being able to add tools which cost $50-$150/month otherwise and break-even, but at the end of the day every tool that I need is also covered and I was previously paying about $100/month just for DotDb. So it's a win win win
