.pro stands for "professional".  When they initially came out, they were extremely difficult to get (and had significant cost).  My wife is a lawyer, so she was able to get them.  They changed the regulations in 2008 (and lowered the cost), so they are making a pretty big comeback...

650 BTC

is a .pro domain name worth anything?

I thought .com, .net and .org were the big 3

700 BTC.

Who.
I am the founder of Boounce (pronounced bounce). My bio is here boounce.com/meetus.php.

What.
This is a reverse auction for the domain name clipart.pro.  That means I will periodically reduce the price until the domain name sells.  I will then recirculate the bitcoins back into the economy to encourage "boouncing."   Specifically, I will offer bitcoins to those that would help us test new versions, provide feedback, and add a link to Boounce in their signatures.  Information (and screencasts) about boouncing can be found at http://www.boounce.com/boouncefeatures.php.

Why?
Well... I like bitcoins; however, it wouldn't be prudent to invest in bitcoins with our start-up capital (fiduciary responsibility to our investors and all), but nothing prevents me from donating my personal assets to get bitcoin.  So that's what I'm going to do.   As mentioned above, I'll use the bitcoin proceeds to encourage forum users to try "boouncing".   This way, the buyer gets a quality asset, and the bitcoin currency velocity goes up.  Please note, this auction is also available on eBay, so if it sells there first for old-fashioned dollars, I'll change the domain name out.  

Good luck! -Troy
