People are paying for them.

The buyer for this domain isn't in the milk business, they're in the technology business. Few names worth US$ 10M or higher, Milk.com is one of them.

You think? It certainly keeps the low-ball speculators away, but if it were to sell do you really think it would get $10MM?

best search interface in the domain industry. Sedo/Afternic sucks and this one covers both.

Do they do domain name front-running like GoDaddy and others have been alleged to do?

Hi there. No, dofo.com is a search engine for domain names. We do not do front-running, and I think nobody does this in 2019. :)

Smart move to secure .com beforehand.

Easier to remember than bttmlss.com or bottomless.commerce or some such thing, that's for sure :D

Sadly my mimosa brunch social network is now doomed :(

Thank you!

As well as https://www.pointbank.com/

Rebrand in the making.

Woah, legal issues incoming.

Haha - we are not related!

1. You are trading very closely to their mark (financial services), leaving yourself open to these litigation issues from day one.

2. If you succeed, you'll have to rebrand. You have a lousy and confusing name and domain (sorry for being brutally honest). We see this all the time. Rebrands are expensive as hell.

3. If you fail, it will be largely due to naming.

Can't believe YC didn't tell you that ahead.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, it's definitely something we will keep in mind as we grow.

Appreciate the brutally honest feedback, it's usually the best kind :)

The top dogs like HugeDomains own hundreds of registrars and using their connections to chase domains. These are not resellers, the registrars are there only to catch domains. Your chance of winning the drop game is near zero if they want it.

If you want to scoop up free names, there's lots of bulk tools on registrars to let you buy in bulk.

In theory its all great until you get punched in the face. Meaning, reserve cash isn't important - until it is.

> Even if you hate advertising, take the money and donate to some charity. There are many who can use that kind of funds.

It's terrible, all these people with houses in prominent traffic locations and people driving vehicles in high density urban environments, who refuse to place advertising all over their property. So much money being left on the table - even at low ad rates - they could be helping the less fortunate with those billions of collective ad dollars.

$100 CPMs? No way. With 5k uniques per day, maybe he'd make $5 a day with low quality, quick-leaving traffic. Unless he were to do shady stuff like affiliate redirects to gail.de or something.

One word: Telegram.

I generally love Telegram, but what bothers me is that they don't end-to-end encrypt my messages. Sure they do in the "private"-mode but this is not really usable to me, as there is no desktop client and my messages are often not arriving as reliable as the normal ones...

I've installed it today following this update and was surprised to find I actually have quite a few contacts on it already. Looks very nice. Will try and get my core contacts to switch over.

Really?

I loved it in the beginning. Then it started to do everything. Like really everything and the list is going endless. And for some reason all my telegram groups are so unbearably verbose that I don't keep it on my mobile anymore. Maybe because they had a desktop app right from the beginning that people found it really easy to type - a lot.
