Surprising. I just purchased couple that I found there. My rule for a domain is that needs to be easy to pronounce, preferably it's not a real word, doesn't have many Google results for the name, doesn't contain w/v, i/y and h.

So for instance snuno doesn't mean anything, 5 letters, easy to pronounce in all language, people don't get confused when you pronounce it. The name eventually becomes associated with whatever you put in.

After I saw Mt.Gox taking off, I realized, that the name is challenge only initially. People will figure it out once they think there is value.
