I had always thought drop catching hinged upon how aggressive one particular company is stand alone. Is there a reliable source of information where I can read about the process? |
Yes more dropping connections there is higher the chance. Also there are rumors the exact dropping time can be calculated a little bit which would increase the odds.
There is lot of info, some at Dnjournal (i.e. interview with the guy who were programming Dropclub is particulary informative). Also lot of info here on dnforum from older times.
But now dropcatching singnificancy is much lower than ever before, as all those groups hoarding names are not dropping them.

Honestly, they all appear to be one of the many Directi Reseller Club storefronts.

All are on LOGICBOXES platform, there is hundreds and hundreds of registrars using this platform.
My guess is Snapnames will be pulling their registrars out of LB platform and start using their own. Which must have pissed Directi group so they separated.
Another thing is the drop pool is smaller/of lower quality now and tasting ended (in the past Snapnames was tasting gazillions of domains every day so all their registrars paid off) so they do not need that many registrars.
