How quickly a working idea gets rebuilt

Registry timestamps make it possible to ask a question that is normally unanswerable: exactly how long does it take for several hundred people to notice something is working and rebuild it?

Measured against outbid.lol’s registration, 19 Aug 2026

263 domains on file were registered inside two days of outbid.lol’s own registration. Of those, 240 were still answering on the last sweep, and 29 have reported taking more than $100. Being early was necessary and nowhere near sufficient.

Speed of registration is the cleanest available proxy for how legible an idea is. A format that takes hours to copy is a format whose advantage was never the software. Where the money went is the other half of that sentence.
