Bitcoin Forum

I own the short domain SV.GD, and as I'm using it very little, I've decided I'd sell it. The domain will be transferred from Kalyhost to the winner within a week of the auction finishing (possibly earlier).
I'm using a dollar price similar to other auctions on here, because of the unpredictable price.

The domain starts the auction at just $60, or a "Buy Now" of $400, and will end on the 12th of April 2013, 2013-04-12 at 00:00 UTC
Minimum increments of $1.

The dollar price must be paid in equal value of LTC or BTC.

How many months/years are left on it and how much does it cost per year to renew it?

Right now there's 1 mo left on it, and it's $26/yr at kalyhost, and ~$30/yr at most other hosts (hooray for expensive domains)

So someone would be paying $400 for a month, then register it again for $26? Why wouldn't they just wait a month and save $374?

Because otherwise I'll nab it myself again, and raise the price?  :P
If someone really cared, I'd be happy to part with it for $400 - $26 = $374 if they want to make it complicated.

I bid $60.

I use namecheap cuz of their support of btc. Can we move it there if I win?

Thanks

Yeah, I don't think there'll be any restrictions on where I can transfer it to, as long as your registrar supports .gd domains.

Did not think of that. I'm not sure if they do or not.

Anyway I'm sure we can work something out if I win.

Thanks

Bid $65.

$70  :)

i just checked kalyhost is owned by that tibane guy linked to mtgox.. so you can renew with BTC direct on kalyhost.

bid $80

Hmm, any more bids...?

Yes but near the end.

Pretty tempting. I'd love to have a domain that short. I kinda wonder what it could stand for...

Site for SV650 fans?

You could almost open up a sub-TLD (or something class TLD? I forgot the exact term) using one like that.

Yep, short domains like this are great... especially when the 2 letter domain namespace is running really low for .gd's

Just 5 hours to go, let's see what happens.

Does this come with hosting/code for the URL shortener service? I'd probably do something a bit different anyways, but I noticed that was on there.

Right now it's "rented" out to someone, so I don't own that code or hosting to sell. This only includes the domain.

Thanks for explaining.

My bid is $100.

$110

Guess you're the winner, as it's now 12:13 AM UTC - I'm going to bed right now since it's past 1 AM here in the UK, and since Gox isn't open yet, I suppose the payment can wait til tomorrow until we get a reasonable BTC price.

I thought I had more time, I should have bid higher:)

The winner, Stunna has been gone for 2 days now, and hasn't responded to the PM I sent him asking for payment a few days ago. The domain is still in my hands, but if Stunna doesn't re-appear for much longer, I suppose I'll have to take some sort-of action, i.e. re-do the auction, or give to the second highest bidder?

I will pay for his bid at 110 if you are oksy with that.

He's replied to me telling me that he's no longer interested and would be fine with you taking his place at $110
At the current price of $65, that'll be 1.7BTC to the address I've sent you in PM, and then I'll discuss the transfer.

Damn, was hoping for re-open, could have done $120

Paid 1.7 when btc was 75

Does this mean someguy123 sold you the domain?

I do feel it should have gone to the next highest bidder. I haven't ran many auctions, but that's generally how they work. I would've been happy to pay $100 for it or have the auction start over.

But anyways, congrats on the domain.

Still dont have this domain.

We were able to sort this out. I did in the end get the domain. Not OPs fault for the delay, it was who he had it hosted with. No shock there was a problem there, lol!

what will anyone do with this domain? a URL shortening service? :P

so far nothing:)
