"here’s how the domain expiry process works." (might have been better to say "here's how I think").
"Domain ‘expires’, and enters a 40 day grace period" although you qualified this saying it like that gives people the wrong impression of your actual knowledge in this area.
"After the grace period, it enters a 30 day redemption period. Again, apparently this can vary, but I have yet to see it "
You say "it enters" (like a fact) but then say "it can vary, but I haven't seen it yet".
My point isn't to give you a hard time but on HN crowd tends to jump on anything incorrect and it's clear from your summary that you don't have much experience in this area. I've made mistakes when I've said things on HN that I haven't doubled checked or don't know very well. (It's possible of course to even make mistakes on things you know well!)
