There's a test network. I'm not really giving it any attention b/c of BTSX but I will answer questions and make note of bugs

Everything should work except that the wallet transaction history does not interpret the domain transactions properly.
Temporary paramters:
The auction throttle size is hard-coded to 3.
Auction duration is 5 minutes (you have to spend 5 minutes in the top 3 without any bids).
Domain expiration is 2 hours.
Writeup about how much you get back for getting outbid coming soon, here's a rough version:
"""
* The first time a domain is bid on, if you get outbid, you only get 95% back
* Afterwards, if you bid on a domain that is "in the throttle" (one of the top K domains) and you get outbid, you get 110% back
* If you bid on a domain that is not in the throttle (not in top K and not the first bid), and you get outbid, you get 100% back
AND: the next person's "required minimum bid" is your bid + the difference between your bid and your required bid
so you have to outbid the last person by more than they outbid the previous person by
