They have appeared to have done some work to address the issues I previously raised, but fundamentally they rely on monthly charges for revenue, rather than the ebay model of once the deal is done they back out.
The fact that clearing houses have been popular in the past indicates that this is a viable concept. Further people seem to blame didx for sellers posting dids for sale and then later backing out. While didx does have a sellers agreement this alone cannot stop every seller from posting DIDs to get some quick revenue, then pulling them as soon as they are paid. People dont seem to blame ebay for example when a seller doesnt ship what they advertised for sale, so I find this bias somewhat interesting. I know that I got a working DID which means that the original poster of that DID did not pull it after it was assigned to me. This DID is the one that the sacramento asterisk users group has. side note: for those that said I am saying asterisk/digium is the anti-christ and am generally anti-asterisk please note that I started, secured donations for, and organize to this day the sacramento asterisk users group. I am also the only one so far that has presented anything. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 http://www.sacaug.org/ Sacramento Asterisk Users Group
