It's still available, I checked. It just happen to cost 12.5k USD.

I don't really get godaddys pricing on these or what exactly they buy you. They're claiming this price is to preregister to maximize your chance to own it. There is a base rate of $19.99 per year but depending on what word you enter, it quotes up to $12k

Bang.ing = 12k; Smash.ing = 3k; Gni.ing = 100; Whyaresomecheaper.ing = 19.99

Bitcoin.ing shows up as $129,999.99/yr. I think I'll pass.

Is that enough to create the TLD itself, let say .banging?

[kykeonaut]

b.ing goes for 130k

Not included: lawyer fees to defend yourself against the inevitable lawsuit from MS when someone there realizes they need to own it.

Just making expensive land out of the ether.

That's not too expensive for some "entrepreneurs" ;-) Especially in the long run it might be a good investment.
