hogornot.com

Why are you sitting on that? That website would take about 15 hours to build and will most likely earn you more than a few bucks for doing nothing.

any suggestions on the best scripts to set something like this up? I have a similar "ornot" site that I would love to get off the ground but not sure which platform to choose

Very awesome idea. It's super cool seeing so many folks trading, selling, and even giving away domains to other hackers looking to start a project.

Myself, I've only ever owned domains for intended projects and when it became clear that a project wasn't getting developed ever, I'd simply let the domain die for someone else to hopefully get it and make a project out of it.

Or use www.twitter.com/domaintrade. I'll set up a "bot" for it.

Let me know if you whip up something - it's a nice idea you've put forward

Now you know why 78 million COM names are taken. A few here, and a few there. Most doing nothing. I posted an analysis with list of available one-word domains that are left recently: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=480858
