Silent Auction

A week or two ago, the Dubli website changed. The most notable change was the removal of the Zer0 auction.

I’ve not been attending the Webcasts as often as I should, so I don’t know what the official word on why the Zer0 auction was removed is. But I have a guess.

I’ve long believed that the Zer0 auction was vulnerable to webscripts that could automatically check the price and then, when the price was below a certain threshhold, could check the price automatically very quickly until the price was driven to 0. For a good programmer, this would be a piece of cake to do.

I might be wrong, of course. And Zer0 might be coming back for all I know.

And, the new site layout is great, I think.
