$4 times ?????? Anyone has any idea of how many domains are we currently registering as an average every day.
Again... no one is discussing the supposed "quality" of service. I would definetively admit that apart from a somehow slow implementation rythim and a too "american" strategy (this is nothing against americans.... is just to remember there are international resellers too), the general service we get from OpenSRS makes us be in business, but if this whole business grows (I am very pleased of being part of it) thanks to us, why do we not "all" benefit from it at some point... if not by cash discounts...free renewals, advertising space (for example at Tucows network) contracted in bulks by OpenSRS, corporate gadgets, marketing material, a free holiday in Canada... anything... to make an incentive for the future.
