The great big .uk Rights of Registration thread!

As far as I can see, there are pretty much zero bids for even the most attractive generic domains at Snapnames. Admittedly, anyone with any sense is not going to 'bid' there until the last hour, but I suspect that yes, it will be run as a blind auction, because then Snapnames can auction off all the good names they get, regardless of whether one person, two people, or fifty people bid for a name. They could even auction off names that nobody bid for, if they've identified them as worth bidding for. I suppose it depends whether the rubric says that only those who bid before the cut off time can bid in the post-release auction, or whether they just state 'there were multiple bids for this domain, the final auction for this name will end at...' in which case they would be likely to make more money.

Anyone's guess.

Just had mine. I've been allocated 9 attempts per minute despite only depositing £500 - have others found that they've had their limits increased?

Are the requests per minute the same as originally set out?

The allocations were subject to take up and the number of qualifying registrars. For the top tier, the requests for registration per minute remain at 150. For tiers 2, 3 and 4, they increase to 75, 12 and 9 requests per minute respectively.

from https://registrars.nominet.uk/uk-namespace/dot-uk/rights-of-registration/
 
Based on the number of registrations you told us you intended to make during the release process and your available credit as at midday (BST) on 21st June, your allocation will be up to 9 registration attempts per minute.

Fair enough then.

I'm going to be registering some really sweet names at 9 polls a minute lol.
 
Are we using dac.nominet.org.uk (and ror-epp.nominet.org.uk)? or a specific ror-dac?

think its

DAC: dac.nic.uk port 3043
RoR EPP: ror-epp.nominet.org.uk port 700

i just get "
Script failed, likely cause is the recent addition of the IP address to the Nominet test bed due to the large amount of people currently setting up. Please try running the script in 60 minutes time again.
"

I added my ip days ago

If your connecting to the live EPP (including ROR-EPP) you need your ip address in the live epp settings.
 
Wonder why they are using the normal dac when they were concerned about overloading a single server! Dac will get hammered too.

Live epp works fine (and always has) for me but ror epp doesn't - IP not changed for days so it should be immediate access?

They actually tried to tell me in an early email that the DAC will be pointless (in that it's unreliable) at release because of time to update. Maybe they don't think anyone is going to use it.

Yes you don't need it will all be over in less than one minute each day

Actually I can think of two situations where a properly functioning DAC would be useful. However they can't even sync them properly on normal chasing (fed up of seeing a N but getting your registration in *before* the domain is EPP available?) so not surprising it won't work under a heavy load.

Yes would be great if it works but....
