DomainInvesting.com reports on domain name sales, acquisitions, disputes, and registrar practices, mostly for people who trade domains.
HN links it for details on big domain deals, like OpenAI getting chatgpt.com, and for GoDaddy's response to claims about frontrunning domain searches.
I was trying to get a copy of my transaction history at the time, after someone mentioned it might be handy in a class action suit
First the server started responding "this page does not exist" then just blank response

Sources close to the issue, in touch with SiliconAngle, have confirmed that more than 700,000 bitcoins are indeed missing from MtGox’s coffers as has been rumored during the history running up to this shutdown.

How the fuck is this bullshit fake news still here.
It's just not true and is also pretty close to liable.
It's understandable OP mightn't understand domain front running and how Go Daddy will NOT be doing that.
But Go Daddy has addressed front running before and also this specific incident [π]
Is everyone here mentally ill?
No one able to even talk about how this might have come from a side channel so we all actually learn something rather than whatever this is?
[edit] And wow, the account claiming this, was created to post this. No other comments. Not even on this thread. We don't even know if they are 12 and also searched for the domain on another site but forgot. This is what we are basing this liable on?

This happens a lot. Godaddy comes up in the news, someone accuses them of front-running, someone else investigates the accusation and finds that the allegation in question was definitely not the result of front-running.

I have no information on whether they are or aren't front-running, but every time I've seen a specific allegation, it's been disproven. That doesn't make it factual either way, but I like Godaddy for enough other reasons to not use them, so I don't particularly care if they are or aren't, but I've yet to see a specific allegation be found credible.
It's not clear wether it has been bought:
> I don’t know if there was any financial settlement involved in this dispute. Generally speaking, the only incentives I can think of for a respondent to settle a UDRP dispute early is if a payment is made or in order to prevent an adverse UDRP decision. In addition, even if a UDRP panel ruled in favor of the respondent, it could have been a Pyrrhic victory if the complainant opted to escalate this to the courts, where legal fees can add up quickly

According to this, spase.com was registered in 2005. Spase, Inc was incorporated in 2019. This company is accusing the owners of the domain, who had it for 14 years, of domain squatting and trying to take it away from them.
My sympathies lie more with the long-term owners of the domain, and not a recently formed company that is trying to take over a domain name they don't own.
This is a lie and total slander of GoDaddy.
