Can You Beat my Time on Pyramid.com?

Michael Cyger launched a fun solitaire game called Pyramid solitaire on the exceptional Pyramid.com domain name. I’ve played it many times and find it quite addictive. This morning, Michael shared that 5,000 Pyramid solitaire games were played last week.

My best Pyramid time was 56 seconds, which I shared with Michael:

I have been trying to beat that time for over a week and haven’t had any luck. If I can’t finish in a little over a minute, I reset the game to optimize my free time. I would love to see the game retain my stats with either an account login or cookie.

Have you been able to beat the one minute mark? What’s your best time so far?

My Experience with Afternic / Dan Checkout Link

I recently sold a domain name I owned for several years after an email discussion with the buyer. During our negotiation, at least three people from the buyer’s side were involved in the discussion. Once we agreed on a price, I wasn’t sure whose email address to use for the transaction and had a feeling it could be someone else entirely.

Because of the relatively low value of the deal (under $5k), I decided to use Dan.com for the transaction. In my experience, buyers have had few difficulties with payment, and Dan support works with the buyer to facilitate the domain transfer instead of having to do that myself. Despite a higher cost % vs. escrow, I have found there to be fewer speed bumps.

Because it was unclear who would be managing the transaction, I did not do the traditional lead import at Dan.com. Instead, I opted to get a checkout link via Afternic. Since Afternic and Dan both offer the same 5% transaction fee on imported leads, it was essentially the same cost and I figured I would see how the checkout link works.

Salesforce.com Acquires 111.org

Whois records show that Salesforce.com has acquired the 111.org domain name. The domain name recently transferred from GoDaddy to MarkMonitor. Using the DomainTools Whois History tool, I can see it had been registered for a short period to NameCorp, Alan Dunn’s domain brokerage. Prior to that, it was registered to a China-based domain registrant.

Salesforce is not yet using the domain name. My guess is Salesforce will use 111.org for its “Pledge 1% movement.” On its website, Salesforce describes this movement in terms of 1+1+1, so 111.org makes sense for this type of organization:

Andrew Miller Confirms Gold.com Price

As you may have seen yesterday, George Kirikos published an article about the A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. SEC filing that mentioned its acquisition of Gold.com. A few weeks ago, I learned the domain name had been acquired by JM Bullion, a company owned by A-Mark Precious Metals, in a deal brokered by Andrew Miller of Hilco Digital. At the time, the sale price was not shared.

As George noted, the SEC filing stated β€œIn March 2024, JMB acquired $8.5 million of intangible assets that included Gold.com’s domain name.” Since the filing mentioned “assets,” indicating the potential for multiple acquisitions, I reached out to Andrew to ask him to confirm the sale price of Gold.com. Andrew was able to confirm the domain name sold for $8,515,000.

Commenting on the deal, Andrew shared the following with me:

Michael Cyger amplified a post that offers a look into a massive pitfall for operators on non .com domain names as well as off-brand domain names. Misdirected emails, also known as email leakage, is an issue many business operators don’t even know about or understand until it becomes a problem. See for yourself:

John Berryhill and I are raising funds for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute via the 2024 Pan-Mass Challenge ride in August. Together, with your support, we have now raised more than $175,000 for this important cancer fighting organization.

Each year, we wear a customized jersey with the logos of domain industry supporters/sponsors. We will wear these special jerseys as we cross the finish line on the second day of the Pan-Mass Challenge. We will also wear them as we do our final training rides along with rides in the future. It’s a fun way to show the domain investment space supports us as we support Dana-Farber and its cancer fighting mission.
