@raindog308 Forget Class E. There is so much equipment and so many operating systems that would need to be updated before it can be globally reachable... ipv6 would happen much sooner.

Interesting if we will see info about this deal in the news. Price, etc. would be interesting to know. I think Microsoft set the precedent by paying $7.5 Million for 660K IPs to Nortel.

Yes, maybe i misread it. But ARIN didn't have any /11s in stock yesterday. So where would these two come from? Maybe Amazon bought them directly from Dupont or something?

These two were Amazon's before too. When i received that email from ARIN i checked the whois and it was like "RegDate 2011----, Update 2014-10-20". Now it shows  RegDate/Update 2015-01-21. But it is still Amazon, don't know what changed. Don't know if ARIN's database allows checking older...

At least it is above ground...

Yes, 2xL5420 >> Avoton > 1xL5420 For things like the 3EUR/year LowEndSpirit offers and similar it can be an OK CPU. LowEndSpirit currently uses X3440 in Italy, X3330 in Netherlands, X3220 in UK, L5520 in USA, Slabbed inside Vultr VPS in Japan. So an Avoton wouldn't be a bad match for these.

Let's be fair there, the Avoton is better than L5420, and people are still pushing L5420 based nodes. Just because Intel chose the name "Atom" for the c2750 CPU doesn't make it automatically bad.

i7-2600 should have 8MB cache, not 4MB. edit: scratch that, the virtual CPU isn't reporting the cache size of the physical CPU.

You registered today just to post this wall of text?

Ok, our phone verification system is finished, seems to work fine. We have no plans to make a commercial phone verification system or anything like that - it was developed just for our own use. I won't be putting it on github or anything like that either since the code currently has some...

Yes, the customer places the an order, runs through maxmind. If maxmind allows the order there is an invoice and when the customer goes to pay the invoice he is redirected to the phone verification before making the payment. After the phone verification he is allowed to pay the invoice.

I ended up coding something myself (using an invoicetemplate.tpl edit to hook it). Still very early code, but seems to work from the client side - can send SMS or make a call and complete the verification. Need to write something for the admin side to make it easier to use, but it's a good start.

I am using ploop since several months and haven't experienced any issues yet.

Looking at the WHMCS hooks documentation perhaps one could really use a hook instead of a modification to a template file to invoke the custom phone verification. This should be a good starting point - http://docs.whmcs.com/Hooks:AfterFraudCheck

Nah, the phoneverify.php must be local to the WHMCS installation since it must have access to the client details (country and phone number). It can then use an API to an external service to actually make the call. But first it should display the full phone number (with country code). The country...

@trewq for the whmcs part i was thinking of a modification of the viewinvoice.tpl template and add additional check when the customer goes to pay the invoice - if he has a "phone verified flag" (add hidden custom field for this) - the normal payment options are there and he can pay the invoice...

Maybe just any KVM VPS with CDP backup syncing all the time (every 5 minutes for instance)?

Charter Communications just got a nice Xmas present - /12 + /14 - over 1.3 million IPs. Interesting that the total counter on ARIN's website didn't update yet to reflect this.

Isn't this bad for your "credit"? I know you americans are very dependent on your credit score.
