t_b_2c47d7 is automatic API bot
m_c_4083cb is human(?)... interesting who is it...

well, for $300 I can prepaid oolite.space on +10 years...
sorry, I am out of game.

I think we have to prepare move all infrastructure to .space :(
I don't think that m_c_4083cb is one of us, well - we know it soon.

I wonder how you can distringuish that.

The value is not a simple domain name. It is a name with history and reputation attached. It will be visited well, so it has potential to distribute advertisements and other stuff. For us the value is comparatively low.

Totally agree here. But then it isn't a too bad name for a space simulation, is it?

I wonder how you can distinguish that.

If you look at the timing of the bids (and the amounts after its first $23.00 bid) ....

A new bidder enters the fray at $406 (and the bot seems to have given up) - what fun!

[timer]

I wonder how you can distringuish that.

it set bid at the same second (by API).


Well, guys - who is it? ))

Code: Select all

b_p_fb395f	$1015.00	05/19/2023 8:26am CDT

PS I have no words...

[another_commander]

Oh boy, I'm so watching this during its last few hours. Maybe with a bucket of popcorn for good measure.

[Griff]

wow! why does it jump from $406.00 to $1015.00 without at least trying to bid $410 or something first? It's like it's put up all its budget in one go, silly bot!
maybe its author made a mistake and set its ai_type to dumbAI.plist or something

I like .space domain more and more ))

[Cody]

$1015? WTF? Madness!

I Know! think of all the baked potatoes you could buy for that money. Oolite.space is awesome by the way, i think that's a great URL for us.
Looks like bidding ends in about 5hrs, are we all going to be here watching to see how high it goes?

[Cody]

Yep! Will it make five figures?
