Hey everyone,

So here's the scoop. Right now, I've been contracted to produce an application that basically camps registered domains, waiting for them to drop, then immediately registers the domain once it drops. It's entirely autonomous. You basically type the domain name in and it's yours (after it drops, of course.) This usually occurs within seconds. (0.93 seconds minimum, ~10seconds maximum depending on your connection).

Snapnames offers a similar service to this, but they take their cut. Also, when snapnames registers a domain it first goes to a public auction where you're stuck bidding against other opportunistic domain hunters. This can be a drag and can be the difference between 9 dollars and 90 dollars for a typo domain, for instance.

All the billing is automatic. You pay beforehand. And literally, you can sleep while the thing is running and wakeup to find the domains you've acquired.

So here's my question: In addition to the guys I'm developing this for, does anyone else have an interest in this kind of software? Do you think it'd be marketable above and beyond the contract im fulfilling now?

email me if you want to talk about it: domains (at) subsane.net
ICQ: 6437680
