So it didn't go too smoothly, but I guess it was kinda expected to be a big chaos. Had to retry like 5 times until I finally got in, and was probably luckier than most. But then, just think about it:

• 10000 people hammering on one site in the same second is just bound to end up in a huge traffic jam. GoDaddy is not AmazonAWS, but it's a lot cheaper.
• "it's not fair": damn straight. That's what the rules said: harmonic series. That's not a fair distribution by definition. Also "but I was first/early": yeah, at your keyboard, but your internet protocol package was not at their servers.
• Basically, this was (probably intended to be) a huge lottery. For that, I think it went reasonably well given the resources one could expect from a bunch of people with ideas but no money.

So I'm cool.
