Four /8 Blocks Allocated to the RIRs
Re-posted from the arin-announce mailing list: Today, 30 November 2010, the IANA allocated four /8s to the RIRs – 23/8 and 100/8 to ARIN and 5/8 and 37/8 to RIPE NCC. This leaves only seven /8s remaining in IANA free pool of IPv4 addresses, or 2.73% of the total. When the IANA IPv4 free pool [...]
Generator Test Run Video
I made a quick improvised video of our automatic generator test cycle using my cell phone just for fun this morning for a bit of an inside look at Roller Network and the general sequence of how our generator self test operates.

As we like to keep mentioning, Roller Network offers an IPv6 enabled network. We are also continuing to diligently [...]

Credit Card Payments are Broken (updated, fixed)
Our card processor deployed an update yesterday that has subsequently broken our ability to submit transactions (all attempts are returning an authentication error). We are attempting to resolve the situation as quickly as possible. UPDATE: After dumping the raw response we’re getting from the processor, it turns out to be a “500 Internal Server Error” [...]
