Then on a modest budget for many folks on this list, one could buy up and squat on the likely most popular 50,000 to 100,000 names. So it would seem that either the names are memorable mnemonics, and thus some much more valuable than others, or they're less valuable by being less usable. The $0.10 for life does not sound realistic, unless all the names are essentially high-entropy random serial numbers. -- Viktor.
