Topic: BTCForums.com auction experiment (Read 1407 times)

Not collecting stats but without development not my guess is not much type ins

the buyer did not honor his offer. I am putting it back for sale here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/btcforumscom-domain-for-sale-offers-from-005btc-1996079

10 minutes, last chance

Only two hours left approximately. I will get in tough with the winner by PM after the auction end today or tomorrow

0.05 BTC   and approximately 11 hours till the end of this auction

Correction, around 26 hours to end

Less than 24 hours to end. The price is still at ridiculous 0.05 BTC

Tomorrow the auction ends. It is almost certain that  someone will get this amazing domain very cheaply tomorrow

2 days

Only 3 days to go and the current bid is just 0.05 BTC.
The domain name has over 1000 USD market value as you can see from the past sales above. Looks like someone is going to get a deal

I forgot to mention that you can pay me the equivalent of the winning btc amount in USD, stratis, zcoin, NEM, Sia, waves, and nexus. Equivalent at the time of auction end

Ok. Thank you.
So current bid is 0.05 BTC

This Bid is from a hacked Account -> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/account-hacked-darkjon-uid-132212-1977634
Its not me or my account so this bid is not valid...

Hey but let´s get back to the point:)
The current bid is 0.06 BTC. Which is pretty cheap right now. Auction ends in about 5 days

It was created in 2013 - unfortunetely I forgot to renew it and expired, but I managed to re-register it right after expiration again in 2014. So if you check the whois now, you will see it is registered since 06.2014 .
Number of visits, I dont keep stats because it does not get much type in traffic. Regarding potential visits, well that depends on development.
I did receive a few offers in the past, which I rejected, the highest being 900 USD.

even if those details exist. it won't stand a chance against the existing forums it will be buried down the pages of search results. there is a reason why you can't find the existing bitcoin forums when you search "bitcoin forum". mainly, bitcointalk wins it all. site wide links going to cover the first pages lol

Domain is good, but can you give us more informations on it, like when it was created, number of visits, potential visits?
If someone is interested to buy it, these informations can be helpful.

Ok guys. Its nice that you have an opinion on whether the domain is worthless or not, but this is not the place to discuss it. However, since some seem to have an issue with the letter "s" at the end, let me remind you that many, many successful forums have the "s" at the end.

For example.
ubuntuforums.org - global rank 3,797
tenforums.com - global rank 4,282
sevenforums.com - global rank 5,178
leakforums.net - global rank 9,023
india-forums.com - global rank 9,522
englishforums.com - global rank 8,984
physicsforums.com - 6,057
androidforums.com - 9,957
hackforums.net - 11,598
freeforums.net - 10,523

The list goes on and on. The above are just a few of the top 10,000 websites in the world.


And here are some domain name sales(not website) of "worthless" domains with the word forums (with "s")in it.

i did not see it  untill superious mention it..

its true with the S make the domain name has no value..

but if you cant get btcfurum.com just get this one



 

Besides the fact that it is very difficult to develop a successful project in this niche, there is one more thing I did not mention in my first post: do not forget that it's  btcforums.com, not  btcforum.com
In my opinion there is a very big difference between these two domains (that extra "s").
