If anyone's wondering why the results started looking a tad more strange (and higher rate of unavailable domains on the list), it's because todays list was just processed over the course of the past. ~20min. Have some jobs spread out a little to be nice to the server and inconsistencies.

For the next who knows maybe hour or so, from this minute actually, you'll probably notice a few more than average domains one the list are already taken. Don't worry i've got my best robot people on it

Oh now that's decent!! Which one of you picked it up. I'll pay top dollar!

You know I briefly looked in to it because I'm not dumb I understand it'd make this unstoppable, but there's very few options with very high prices. You never know with what the future holds but yeah, not cheap. Definitely doable though.

The good thing about 'our' filtering is that it would take down the number of daily requests to their API, but still...a. lot. I wouldn't say it's out of the question even remotely, I have the funds but am cautious with my finances/investments. But you're right and I should definitely give it some serious though..

I don't own a single one nore have tried but I understand many would. Honestly I did that 100% because they're simply always taken by bots on the spot. It'd be a waste of space on the site/cluttering the feeds. Our process is muchhhh slower around the clock as we check all domains and delete any no longer avail, again to keep the lists tidy, it'd only get everyone's hopes up just to have them let down. I can guarantee it

Ha. So here it goes I guess, I’ve been working on this pretty consistently for too long now (backend mainly).

Inspiration for the project was based off one I made over half a decade ago. And I gratefully got recognized on HN for it! I saw (my) username that posted it, tried a few of my go-to password ’s, and boom, I still got it :)

Here was the thread for a trip down memory lane https://web.archive.org/web/20160322215116/https://news.ycom...

And the new one is called DecentDrops.com - Would have totally used DomainInferno again but looks like some squatter had it, hey that’s what I get for neglecting I guess. Still not sure why.. Updated daily. Sorry I’m bad about rambling and don’t want to do a (bigger) wall of text but if you’ve got questions shoot em!

Ha. I've been working on a project [1] for wayy too long, but the backend utilizes things like this, negative strings/words like many first & last names, word identification, basic ML, a decent pronounceability algorithm to filter junk and score what's left, etc.

The back end.... is not the prettiest, but it works. Every day 's deleted domains are refined then you can search through our list. The idea is to save people a wholeee bunch of time and ideally find some hidden gems.

Thanks for sharing op. bookmarked.

[1] https://decentdrops.com - Please be kind! First time i've mentioned it.. I'm ready. I procrastinate too much. Haven't done a Show HN thread, want to tweak/touch up things a bit more first.

Shoot,it's ~$60 for an UberX according to http://uberestimate.com/cost/1/JFK/Manhattan/ .....I'd much rather get to tha choppa
