All this talk of approved IP's to bid, VPN's and being able to still bid from your iphone might as well have been written in Chinese - I don't understand it at all 
So if you put all those measures in place, people like me will simply not bid on domains we wanted, but didn't want badly enough to stay at home to bid on. I work from cafes, parks and other public places. I just can't be at home to bid sometimes. Are sellers are happy to accept lower sale prices because of blocking legit bidders out of auctions?
I don't think *any* of the measures mentioned here are going to have any noticeable effect on stopping shill bidders either. If someone wants to shill bid, they're going to do it. Nothing Denys can do or say is going to change that. No matter how many technical blocks and checks he puts in place, how can he possibly stop someone asking a friend to bid for them? If he's still only verifying by SMS then you don't even need a friend, you need a free sim card and a net cafe...
Denys keeps mentioning he's detecting people and so on... but like Invincible is saying we have no idea how many auctions are being tampered with. I suspect its extremely high. Not just on domainlore, but on every public domain auction platform. I bet its at least 25%.
