You may not be aware of the fact one guy got I would estimate about 95% of all the valuable US reserve drops. It took me many hrs of going thru the entire list of 49,000 reserve names and most every one I looked at was taken by that one individual (he has already posted in this thread).
As I scanned thru them I made notepad or mental notes of the numbers and estimated values and stopped counting at many millions of $ in values and well over 1,000 names, perhaps as many as 3,000. You really woud need to see the list to realize mult-millon $ is a good estimate!
Do you really think that is a fair system where one domainer owns such a huge slice of the good and truly valuable us namespace for only reg fees? Did he really work that much harder than all the other domainers to warrant that kind of success?
In a big way it is a negative to the us namespace since the names did NOT fall into the hands of good developers but instead into the hands of a well known reseller who I am sure will hold many undeveloped for a long time, resell many of them (likely to other resellers - see the sale to Blink) but develop very few comparatively speaking.
P.S. The list url was NOT located by me anywhere on the neulevel website when I looked for it several times before Dec 22 when so many good ones dropped. Perhaps I was blind.
