Isn't it funny how the level 2 always goes a bit crazy and then wait... all of a sudden an RNS!

"The .london gTLD is due to launch April 29 this year, according to the registry." Cool, sooner that I thought - depends what they mean by "launch" though.

Nice work Kev (recommended). Once ICANN decide what to do with the feedback on the last resort auctions and if they change their rules/timings based on that we should have a flurry of private auction activity (or not depending on which was they go I guess)

Quite a lot of money shifted this way towards the end of the day there. Always good to see.

lack of liquidity in the market + mms not sure where it's going to go - that would be my take on the massive spread. I wouldn't want to be coming in on that kind of spread.

Dampened now by the increase to a 40% spread!

Logistics and tactics! The ones we want to go to auction for early vs. the ones we want to hold out for - and how much money we have to spend on each - as you say the big kicker is the other people have to agree - not easy when you have several large companies involved!

The "Minds + Machines" name is and will be the customer facing brand, it makes sense 1) to allign the two 2) to do it this way rather than change M+M to TLDH as the would lose any goodwill already associated with M+M.

Welcome! I'll let Pranchalee answer that one. Good to see a few actual buys coming in this afternoon too.

If we go a couple of days without an RNS telling us who was selling then I'll probably top up a little bit to lower my average - anything below 0.07 is a good buy in.

I was doing dummy sells during the day and would say that everything listed as 0.065/0.065 or below is a sell. Not necessarily a bad thing - a handful of people selling small amounts of shares, and one big holder shifting a lot in big parcels. Goes to show there may be a lot of shares in issue but there are a lot of people who are holding big amounts here who are still happy to wait. I wonder if any of the sells were stop losses being triggered?

Normally I take the BB with a pinch of salt - news flow is great - but in AIM it neither arrives on time nor brings the expected result all the time. With TLDH though we have just had a placing with Major Institutions coming on board - that for me adds massive weight.

Haven't been able to find anything out - tbh I am going to stick - I haven't got crazy money invested here and nothing has changed, still just playing a waiting game until any deal / deals is / are done. That amount of volume we should see who it is that has sold with a holding RNS though.. that could tell a story.

Big sells - I guess we'll know if this is a big deal if a holding RNS comes out.

this is the only source of info I have seen on an auction being on the 18th Feb: http://www.circleid.com/posts/20140127_exploring_the_various_options_of_private_gtld_auctions/ From a project manager at Applicant Auctions. TLDH haven't said whether there are in the auction or not - which makes business sense to me to keep your cards close to your chest.

Yeah it will be interesting to see. The more contested domains that get sorted out (regardless of TLDH involved or not) is only going to be a good thing. Less that need to go to ICANN will speed up the process for everyone else.

Bonum I'm surprised we still haven't seen any further confirmation of the auctions on the 18th - Applicant auctions are normally very good at updating their website. Nothing came out from "rightofthedot" either, who said in a reply to an Applicant Auction blog they were doing their own private auction (via the sealed bid method) on 8th Feb.

Good to see some more positive movement on this today - expect this trend to continue for the next few weeks. Think triple digits will be a bit ambitious in that timescale, but once all of the TLDs are launched, and available and revenue generating then this really fly high.

I was wrong about what I said the other day! Another instituion bought in during the placing - not sure why they weren't all announced at the same time - but bodes well!

.Rugby has quite a high prioritisation number (278) so hopefully this will push forward quite quickly now the matter is settled.
