Proprietary, sorry. Grew it over two years. But the trademark part is weakest link, I admit. I check USPTO TESS, EUIPO, WIPO via API, plus local Swiss registries. Still miss things.
No. It's tied to my data sources, would not help you. The architecture is: RabbitMQ -> worker pool -> SQLite. Standard pattern.
I use SpamZilla for dropped domains. They take crypto but not XMR last I checked. BTC and LTC. Scoring is decent for spam history, useless for trademarks. Their "toxicity" metric correlates well with Spamhaus listings in my experience.
Based in Barcelona, I mostly hunt .es and .cat drops. Different risk profile than .com buyers.
Same here from Frankfurt. Their historical whois depth is why I pay. Seeing five ownership changes in two years is a red flag no terminal script catches easily.
For XMR: there is a reseller on Tor who sells access codes, but I never trusted it. Stuck with card.

BTC is not privacy. LTC is slightly better but still transparent chain. The whole point is my registrar knows nothing, my scoring tool knows nothing, my hosting knows nothing. Layered privacy.
Absolutely not. Not putting domain research into some scammer's hands.

I just use GoDaddy closeout auctions and pray. $11 domains, if two are trash I still come out ahead on the third. No scoring, no automation, just bulk luck.
Texas tax man gets his cut either way.
From Bangkok: XMR acceptance is rare everywhere. I asked DomainTools, they said "no plans." Asked ViewDNS, same. The privacy demand exists but nobody serves it.
I run scoring through a VPN to a VPS paid in XMR, then use card for the tool. Compartmentalized, not perfect.

This is Zurich thinking and I respect it. But for domain scoring specifically, the tool sees your search patterns. Even over VPN, correlation attacks exist if you check fifty related domains.
I buy IPv4 blocks, same privacy problem. No good solution.
Antwerp perspective: trademark risk is overrated for ccTLDs. EU trademark does not automatically extend to .be, .nl, .de. National registry rules differ. I focus on Benelux BOIP database, cheaper than USPTO searches.
For bulk .com, different story. US-centric risk.
Then you are building something nobody sells. Every major scoring provider wants KYC for volume accounts. The XMR niche does not exist at professional quality.
Build it yourself like btrfs, or accept the trade. Those are the options.
This. Two weekends of work, then maintenance. My pipeline is not special, just persistent. The hard part is data sources, not code.
USPTO TESS is free but rate-limited. EUIPO has an API, needs registration. WIPO is painful. No provider aggregates all three well, even paid ones.
