Note to Everyone.

So I have been in the domain industry for a long time. I am not very well known. My highlight is selling the following name: www.youpornhd.com for $6250.00 This was about 2 years ago. I have been very excited lately because I have found some awesome names but it seems no one wants to buy them. Its all good with me but the one worry I have is that I am trying to catch that "golden drop" name just like everyone else. It seems impossible unless you pay one of the dropped sites $60.00 just to backorder it. Realistically domain buyers should not have to do this. We should be able to grab the name on a first come first serve basis. I am not sure who these dropped services have on thier payroll but I think its criminal. So if anyone out there has a way to beat these guys let me know. So my main concern is this madness needs to stop. Here is my plan:
I own www.tntnames.com. If anyone is willing ot help me develop it I would like to offer our customers the option of place a bib and it sticks. If we cant grab it then you get your money back. I am pretty sure we will find the api to grab what we want. I have many resourses but a limited amount of capital. PM me or post so we can talk. I wish to change the whole way business is done in this industry. Most of us are adding our names but no one gets to see them becasue we dont have the money to do it. I am looking for total visability and a no frills way to advertise.

How is that 'criminal' ?
Get real
The best names seldom drop nowadays, they are auctioned off by the registrars as they expire.
Plus, an API will never compete against an army of registrars with direct connections to verisign.
you are ten years late to the game IMO.
