I have an unlock for 05.11.07. I will be releasing on 11/04/09, for $0.00
First off, Jody Sanders, I am declining your $10,000. Why? Because you, and the rest of the iPhone unlock sites out there are scum. You make money selling freeware; that's not cool, and I am in no way going to legitimize it.
Seriously, the people who really lose here are the customers. These sites are full of blatant lies, claiming to have unlocks for 05.11.07 People buy them, and are told the unlock is in development, and the release date is unknown. Imagine you bought a cup of coffee and were told it's in development? Recently, many of these sites sent out e-mails saying they made major breakthroughs and the unlock will be ready 11/04/09. Coincidence that that's the release date of blacksn0w?
I'm not going to post all these scam sites here, as I don't want to give them the pagerank boost. Rather I'll give you a whitelist, two people make unlocks, me and the dev team. Every iPhone unlock site you see out there is selling our stuff, repackaged in some form or another. Same goes for jailbreaks, although ih8sn0w and chronicdev are legit. Notice what all the legit ones have in common? They are free.
Now despite rumors of the ferocity of my legal team, they actually are pretty poor lawyers. And the scum who run these websites are the type who get off on legal battles. So we have to fight them in another way, and I'm asking for everyones help on this. Our weapon is information. Get the truth out, that all iPhone unlocks and jailbreaks are free, and if you are buying something, you aren't getting anything a simple google search couldn't get you, and are probably funding someones crack habit.
This is the first time I have tried to make something simple for the end users, and it enrages me to see people selling it. Let's shut all these assholes down, and tell the iPhone owning world all they need is at blackra1n.com, including blacksn0w instructions on it's release date, 11/04/09(yes, will support hacktivation). You do your part, and I'll do mine making things as simple, reliable, and straightforward as possible.
You have 4 days.

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 587 Newer› Newest»Posting on Facebook, tweeting and so on should do it :D
Lol... "legal team"
You are the man GEOHOT!!! The man! Donating and you get yourself something good man!
I will do my best to support you, you r the greatest hacker who doesnt give a shit about his identity which is awesome, which is great, thank man for all your hard work
Awesome!!!!..
Geo You the man!!!!....
last week I brought my first iphone 3G and accidentally upgraded to 3.1.2 with baseband 5.11.7 and was disappointed a lot ..just couple of hours ago i wanted to sell it...
Now i will keep it..
The decision you took by not accepting the 10K was a wise decision..
@Geohot we always trust you and people asking for money for the information that is available free of cost the most people who only want to gt famous going he wrong way .. all the iphone are with you the kindof work you do helping users like me .. I would say you the Dev-team rocks... Keep up the gud work man .. Way to go .. Tke Cre.
Respect Geo... -Respect!
From Mallorca Island, Spain...THANKS!!!!!
My respect to you Geo! Your the man! Thanks alot for make it free I'm for sure will donate money to you for this unlock.
Well said.
赞!牛!Zan! Niu!
Props to you, Geohot, for not selling out! I'm widely distributing this news!
thanks GEO
You are a genius man! I'll retweet and post this on my blog as well!
Hi Geo,
First, I too, appreciate what you are doing in a big way. I believe the power of the iPhone being where it is today, is only due to the fact it was available for everyone, and is a good platform, once the Apple restrictions are eased a bit, which is what made this community grow.
I believe this served Apple greatly, and not sure why they even insist on keeping this cat mouse, but nm.
I myself do not use the unlock, but believe that if the use of your unlock, will result in a message that pops 2 weeks later with a popup saying: "Thank you for using this free of charge unlock, downloaded from ..." might help promote what you were talking about.
Keep up your great work.
Hey I am going to post it on my Tech blog.
We sort of managed to screw over similar scammers on the Wii scene (after a LONG time) by 1) wrapping our code in an encryption layer that's somewhat tamper-proof and emulator-resistant, 2) adding a huge 15-second fullscreen scam warning to the installer, 3) locking installs to a specific unit - if you try to "transplant" an install, you get a full 2-minute forced scam warning every time you use it. Not sure if something like that would be viable for the iPhone, though, seeing as sniffing baseband commands doesn't sound that difficult.
Well said.
Not only will donate, but also will spread out the truth.
Thanks, Geohot!
Well done Geohot! It is really awesome that you are making a stand against these guys. We will all do our part to ensure no one gets scammed.
GeoHot, How did you get this cool and technical mind with positive thoughts in it. You don't care about the $ about your GREAT Work !! That's unbelievable humankind. I really appreciate it. We will definitely take care of no one will sell it out other hard work !! Thanks a lot.
Excellent work Geo! Will do all I can to spread the word. And for sure donating this time. Thanks a lot. You are the greatest of em all!!!!!
Yea, I am working on some tamper proofing for blackra1n, and will make the popup bigger saying if you paid you got ripped off.
I considered locking the unlock to devices, but would really hate to cause free users problems.
Man.. all the love from Lebanon the Middle east, you are the best seriously not taking the 10k that is very noble keep it up..
Question is, what counts as "selling" the software? Is making a profit by performing the service for people immoral? Of course, you could tell them to google, but what if they just want it to get done? I'm asking this because a couple of my friends do this. I think it's perfectly legitimate, while also showing them that it is in fact free software, and giving all credit where it is due.
Geo,You are the man..
I was till nowusing my 32Gb 3gs as a paper weight.Now I have confidence that I can use it from 4th Nov 2009
THanks again for all your hardwork.Will donate you surely.Even thought you don't reply to my tweets for no reason, I still tweet you.
Thanks

Fine...;)
Respect Geo!! Respect and Support!!!!
Why don't we keep posting on his website, that he is selling freeware? Jody Sanders will delete it as soon as he sees it, but it will keep him busy ;-)

Btw, great work.
Yeah Geohot! I thank you for going against those freaks who just care about the benjamins! I will spread the word. I'm so glad cause o2 is crap where I am and they say if they don't get lots of complaints they won't do anything about signal,Bastards! Will donate bro. One love
just one word!!! THANKS!! donated some money,so you can buy some bagels!! thanks thanks!!!
can i update to 3.2 an unlock with blacksn0w
ooo, I didn't know they had a comment system...yes, post this repeatedly on any scam website with a comment system :-)
Fuck yeah, oh man; can't belive what I just red. It's so cool. It's hard to belive. Geo is right, the best way to fight this fuckers is to let everybody know they are a big fraud. Thanks man, you teach us all a lesson.
We'll make whatever is neccessary to spread the word. Respect, GEO, for all you have done and continue doing it!
LETS " MAKE IT RAIN " ON THAT jody DOUCHE sandrs BloG so that every one knows how stinks he IS!!! RESPECT GEO!!!!
Salutations from Costa Rica, George. Good luck man.
A knowledge is true in SHARING.. not thru SELLING...
Sharing knowledge people always remembering you... selling other's knowledge people always cursing you...
A man like Geo is truely gifted and graceful.
Let us support Mr. Hot... co'z he's too HOT to handle by those opportunists....
geohot ownz ;]
hey just a thought, I'm a php junky and wondering if I could help with a way to dist blacksn0w per download and stop the parasites from taking advantage of the software. Maybe a unique email/ip/imei key? Make'em work for the $29 bucks from your site? Lol
Re: not increasig pagerank.
You can us the rel="nofollow" parameter in your < a > tags.
I hope iClarified and all the other websites that give us so many tools and tutorials also help posting Geo's testimony. These suckers even advertise themselve in Google, I wonder how much they pay for two lines in a search.
LETS " MAKE IT RAIN " ON THAT jody DOUCHE sanders BloG (http://blog.iphoneunlockuk.com/iphone-3g-software-unlock-now-available.html#comment-2753) so that every one knows how stinks he IS!!! RESPECT GEO!!!! spread the news >w<
Thanks Geo Hot !!! you're the Man!! \m/
Yeah there are alot people getting ripped off out there. Honestly there is no easy way to get the news of iPhone Jailbreak & Unlock are really FREE by the original Developers.
But good luck and thanks for trying to do good instead of evil ,')
No selling in Holland or Belgium, I will make sure everybody knows about your sites in The Netherlands and Belgium!
Your a fucking champion Geohot!!!!
Problem is, when you google iphone unlock those scam sites are the first to show up. Your blog and the Dev Team's should be the first results.
Other thing, have you asked someone who understands these software licenses laws to see if you can sue them for selling your software?
By the way, contrats on taking another bite out of the apple.
COOL ! GeorgeHotz ! You saved my life with your word "it supports hacktivation" wooot! I will always support you! (100xThanks here from Malaysia)
There are thousands of Geo fans and followers out there... just imagine if a minimum of $1 is donated to him for his brilliant brain.... he gets better than the offer of those scummers...
so what you are waiting for guys.. donate $1 to Mr. Hot and continuous supporting him in our iphone journeys...
Great post George you have all the support we can give you at www.digital-forums.com from @maltloaf_df
Hi Geo, U R realy Iphone's God. God bless u man.
Maybe we create a "banner" and everyone put this one on his website/profile
I will do my best to support you, you are the man, i started posting that your application is free in the tunisian forums, 1000 thnx from tunisia.

Great work GeoHot!!!
My fear is that 2 seconds after Apple release a new baseband you get we'll see posts saying "I accidentally updated to x.xx..."
The dont update message is the one we should get out there as well.
Let's destroy those Douche scammers!!!
FBed it !!!
Thanks for the remider!
Awesome. You could have become 10k richer, but you declined it, because you knew it was wrong. Money isn't everything Jody (: . Honesty is.
Thanks Geo;
iEdster, Lebanon.
I accidentally believed on those scamartists and payed my 29,99. If I get refund - I will donate. Actually, even without getting that refund, I will donate.
Additionally I will do everything to block those scams from Paypal :)
Doing extensive hours for development (breaking the codes) needs to be payed.
Gr8 work Hot.
Amazing news :D
I also bought a 3GS a couple of weeks ago and it was already activated, but it seems like the store owner had upgraded it to 3.1.2.
I was about to return it to him tomorrow, but now you have save it for me!!
You know how much profit you are bringing to Apple? All iPhones in the Near-East and Middle-East rely on you, and that's at least a million iPhones sold thanks to you.
I'm afraid I can't donate anything since PayPal doesn't work in Lebanon, but I will spread the word, and as soon as I find anything to support you, I'll go for it!
You r the best man.I dont what should i do :) u gr8
Awesome Geo well said. Thanks again to you and blackra1n,blacksn0w also dev team. Thanks for all hard work. Dari Indonesia
Geohot has done his part of the job and I really wish that all the iphone community support this guy (and all others out there when suitable) for the efforts he make.
So GRAB deep in your Paypal or Credit Card account and DONATE as much as you think this relief is worth.
I am sure the community is mature enough...
Many thanks from Georgia and our respect to you Geo!
and same on Georgian :)
დიდი მადლობა საქართველოდან და ჩვენი პატივისცემა, გეო!
well said Geo! You are a genius mate. I have posted this to my facebook and will continue to do so once a week. You do great work (as do the DEV team) but you are on your own dude!! WTF!! as said GENIUS.
This is really great Geohot, maybe it's a nice idea to set up a donation fund, to see if it can reach the 10K. You could fund your legal team with it.
appreciate it man. i saw those websites promising they could unlcok 3.1.2 but i smelled bullshit a mile away. i was like how does iclarified not have it but these lowly fucks do..
You the man keep it going. Lets get geohotz more than 10k in donations. every donate a couple bucks
I LOVE YOU.
P.I.M.P.
IPhoneUnlockUk.Com is under DDoS.
:))
geohot... my respect & appreciation
Well Geohot, I really appriciate you work i know it was not easy to work on baseband update not even on jailbreak.. i just hope that blackra1n on 4th november will be a great success and it will be a bug free software so that people really know who owns this company!
The issue is also compounded by the fact that even on your site there are Google Ads that advertise sites that will unlock your iPhone for a fee.
Just curious, does this new update fix it so if the new 3gs is hard restarted that it won't need to be re-jailbroken on every restart? Thanks keep up the good work
congratulation for these job and
for your human socially and professional engagement.
Wolfgang, Cologne Germany
wow, you just turned down 10k? Donate to this guy NOW!!
Hi George you are Gem, great soul and true genius. Only handful people in this world has heart and mind like you! A great salute to you from within my heart. You have really worked hard for iphone users who wants to get free unlock and jailbreak. Just to lift your infromation campaign I have shared it on SU, Digg, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Wish you all the best for future projects and I wish you get success in every steps you take in your life. God bless!!
eres una chingonada carnal
ahuevo que dono
I spend the last few weeks following the progression on the Jailbreak and Unlock development. I'm a big fan of these kind of programmors. I'm one of them. unfortunatly The Iphone isn't my turf. Let's keep it that way. I don't have alot of money. but what I do have is knowledge building and hosting websites. So what I will offer you is a free design,hosting as so that you can keap up the good work. Your'e the man.
way to go....
thank you from Iran Youre the man!
Geo thanks for all the support and keeping testing alive,and all you scammers your day will come yall know the old saying "what comes around goes around".Great job Geo and Thanks again bud.Ping33tx
Will do m8 and am gonna start posting at facebook after i finish my work 2day
Your Man dude and wer totally behind you
Support Geohot our Hero
Post in MSN and facebook!
Thnx a lot Geo.
The last very good man in the world of the hackers.
A big thanks from Germany, you are a true hero in the Iphone world, your stands tells a lot about your personality, you have a genius heart, you standout from these worthless who only value in life is money.
My respect to you!!!!
Geo, you are so cool!!!
I believe that all iPhone users over the world are waiting for your release. The thing you've done for us is very meaningful.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your effort.
From Bangkok, Thailand.
Yeah, you rule George!! Don't get his money to make it legal to sell, you will get much more from donations!!
@Mark It's good idea to set up a donation fund!
Unfortunately PayPal doesn't work in Georgia, but I hope, everybody who can do it, donate a couple bucks to Geo for this unlock.
Others must do everything to spread out the truth.
You are the great man Geo, Thanks a lot from Giresun,TURKEY.
Just posted requests to Engadget, MacRumors and TUAW to do an article on this.
all respect to you sir- 12wlv from Philippines
Yeah true when people google up iPhone unlock there websites are the first to show up
Also just wondering did you figure it out on your own or you read my comment??? just wondering
Anyways I don't want to scam or anything but can I offer services locally through craigslist to unlock iPhones? Is that OK cause a lot of people are afraid to unlock their iPhones thinking it might brick their phones or so
If it's not OK I won't do it.... but if it is OK then yeah...
I'll donate some of the money I get from it hopefully I do get money... cause your awesome I would love to donate like $100 just don't have that much money right now...
Also another thing don't try suing them or anything cause you have one weakness when it comes to unlocking the iPhone: you do it illegally... DCMA states that you can unlock iPhones but Apple states that you can't hack their software. So you can unlock the iPhone but only through official methods (which in the US are none except for buying the iPhone factory unlocked which to me is unfair I mean at least let us get our iPhones unlocked after the 2 year contract)
I WILL GET RID OF THESE SCUM BAGS
HOPEFULLY YOU SHOW UP AGAIN ON CNN OR SOMETHIN' AND TELL THE WORLD ABOUT THESE SCAMS
Email me back at justinxtreme@yahoo.com
If I'm allowed to sell services cause I respect you bro... besides I don't need the money I just want to get some money so I can donate to you well partially

Jody's site takes anon comments with no captcha, can someone write a script to auto add comments to keep him busy?
@ GeoHOT
Hello Geohot. Thanx for Your Work. Allready donated 10$
On the auction site www.ricardo.ch i have allready start an auction for your software. I sold it for free. The customers become from me your webpage link with your software. Many people sold your software. I not. I just sell a link but for 0$ on my own cost. So after a user buy the link from me he need to pay nothing to me. on ricardo.ch are many people which pay for unlock and jailbreak. So I will try to stop this with my idea.
Greetings to You from Switzerland and Bosnia.
I can't no lobger wait to 4th novembre. Make it today :-)
@Jacko great idea, could anybody do this....
@Justin Reyes come on boy, i think u shouldn´t get money for jb and unlocking friends iphones, really
i´m disappointed about u!!!!!!!
just copied and pasted the Geohot "Information Campaign" to everyone in my email contacts list... lets all do it and wipe those software stealing scumbags off the face of the earth....God Save Geohot. Hull, England.
Fabulous broadcast
Way to go, George :)
Thanks for everything (:
And I'm going to pass this along and make sure no one pays a dime to all those sh1t for brain likes of Jody Sanders et al.
Vienna...THANKS!!!!!
WE LOVE GEOHOT! You're the king!
I've donated in the past back in the BL4.6 days, but I'll definitely donate again on 11/4 AFTER THE FACT... as you requested. We LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU MAN!
Hi George
Awesome text that you have post.
And thanks for the great work on Blacksn0w
The decision you took by not accepting the 10K was a wise and fantastic.
Greetings from Switzerland
Wow!
If the Unlock work, I'll donate the money who other paid at dubious websites!
Many thanks from Germany.

GEHOT, I always said you was a great man.
Today the community you say a big thank you and we doing think donate and I urge all users to make one because it's the only way to remain independent.
Congratulations.
The Guardian had a story on Jody before. We should contact them again to do a story. http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2008/jul/03/iphoneunlockertemptscustome
PEOPLE! Please remember for as much as this isn’t about the money, we unfortunately still live in a world that’s moreorless controlled by it.
Sometimes the only way to fight fire, is with fire. If everybody was to give just $1 (more if you can!) towards this great cause, Geohot (and the rest of the Dev Team) could pay for better lawyers and keep THEIR code safe, resulting in a significant proportion (if not all) of these ‘ripoff’ sites closing over night.
Being completely new to the world of iphone, I have learnt so much in the last 3 days about basebands, boot loaders, ‘ripoff’ unlock sites etc, but most importantly the superior power and generosity of the human mind.
Geohot, it’s been said 1000’s of times already, you are a true inspiration.
I’ve never looked to forward to midweek so much in all my life LOL!!
Thank You
Mars, London, UK
this is very good, thanks for work
You got it... HELL Yeah!
Geo....come on a trip to India man, my home is open for you.... anytime. RESPECT
thanks bro... waitin eagerly fr 11/4
if any want Joy Sanders
whois http://www.iphoneunlockuk.com/
send assassins and :) :) :)
Dear Geohot, I'm supporting you from Brazil. You're really working to break this kind of monopoly that Apple has created. It's like buying a car and must put gas in only one gas station. And, as you asked, I am going to spread the information about your free solution. I've already paid for sites that ad to unlock my iphone, took my money and gave me nothing. Fucking liers! Congrats!!!
Here's another scavenger...
http://www.automaticiphoneunlocker.com/
You really are a hero of iphone's world! We all very appreciate of what have you done with iphone communities all over the world! When you release this unlock tool, I really want to donate to show my honest! Thank you again.
seriously you are the man, will do all i can to put ur news out.
THE BEST HACKER EVER !!!!!!
Thanks, geohot, for your contributions.
Why not have the same "viral marketing" and make sure that this post trends on Twitter or something before you release it? It's not really a good thing to many but nonetheless very effective in letting people know about this. (:
Hi, George!
I'm from brazil and here the price and the acessibility of a count in the Itunes Store isn't good.
So, I hate the who's trying to sell the jailbrake more than I hate the people who make the politics of appstore.
I never donated for anyone, but you deserve.
To add to the list, here's one more;
http://iphone-3gs-unlock.com/
If i had boobies id flash them for u geohot.. :D
you are the best man on the earth
THANK'S FROM THE TURKEY
We support you everytime
YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!!!
thanks from alicante (Spain)
thanks from alicante (Spain)
Lets shut down there processing. No Money = No more problems. Email http://www.nochex.com/ with a complaint. Site the selling of your software as well as any needed proof. Also have the Dev Team do the same. All users here should complain they don't have a 5.11.07 unlock even though they claim to. All the above is a violation of Visa's TOS and if we can get them shut down and blacklisted. They will never be able to take credit again, thus they will be shut down. LETS DO THIS PEOPLE!

Thank you from Cyprus.
All the best and congratulations on your work.

From Serbia Big THANKS
LOL !
its quite ironic..u r telling ppl to stay away from all those illegit websites and yet all the google ads on this blog point to them.
Altho I'm not affected by the baseband upgrade, I still am very excited abt the blacksn0w launch. In my country(Malaysia), you won't believe how many mobile phone dealers are profiteering from unlocking the iPhone for their clients. Simply becos many of them aren't tech savvy enuf to unlock for themselves. But I'd say blackra1n is the simplest jailbreak of all, albeit some unsuccessful cases. I'll do my best to educated my iPhone friends to DIY their JB and rid the peddlers out there from profiteering. Thanks Geohot
You have a right :D I post it on facebook to my friends. :d
Hi Geo ...
Thanks for all your hard work.
I'll spread the word !
Thanks & greets from Germany,
Marc
I will support you with my donate(s)!
Geohot, I agree with you. Thank you for your good job, We ara going to do our part.
We trust and we respect you...
Well said. You and the Dev Team are doing a great job. Thanks for all your hard work. We all appreciate it..
Can you do something about the ads on your blog,google has obviously is advertising things in relation to you but in doing so it is advertising all the scam sites you are fighting against.
These scam sites are getting free advertising on your blog and that can only help them,the enemy is within.
Hopefully people will realise it's not an endorsement of any kind from yourself and that you do not control the ads,but it dose not look good.
Keep up the good work Geohot.
Thank u bro, greetings from brazil
ice
I must say that i was one that fell for the buying an unlock cause i thought they made there own unlocks.
But now im in contact with Paypal regarding this site that is selling freeware. Hopefully paypal will stop supporting this site so they cant take any cash anymore.
Keep up the good work!
GeoHot:
If you were to release the source code under GPL3 license, and explicitly assign the copyright to the FSF, the likes of Jody could be sued by them for non-compliance.
FSF do actively believe in free software, and have the legal team to back it.

from malaysia...this is bloody brilliant!!!! what's even more amazing is that it took you 1 week to sort it out! my wife said perhaps I should start doing hacking (I'm in the IT line). I told her there is one and only George Hotz...and then the rest. Remain humble man!
geohot+dev team=the best
keep goin'
people who fight for their ideals are rare in these days,thx a lot!
Geohot is the man. This Jody Rat has history of being a scum bag, I'm sorry to admit I live in the same country as this conman.
Complain to Google about Jody's scam site and any others here. We might be able to get his site removed from the rankings.

Donating. And keep it up.
والله صبيت ماي بارد على قلوبنا

You are controlling the Prices of iPhones on Ebay ^^
BTW Good job, keep up your great contribution for all of us
Probs from Germany
I truly agree with all the comments about these thieves. Here is 2 of them:
http://www.iunlockanyiphone.com/index.html
http://www.iphoneunlocking.com/
They took my money and never responded to my questions and complaints through paypal He is all also using SWREG.COM. I will donate for this cause. Spread the word.
Great news and get rid of these money grabbers
you should team up with Dev-Team?
We can cost this scum bag Jodie Sauders money if we keep clicking his ads on Google. He must have a CPC (cost per click) rate with Google.
I click all the paid unlock sites ads on Google all the time! hehe
Is his website unlock the iphone dot com?
To all the people who be helped by GEO, donate !!!! The man put so much work on it to solve so many Iphone users, this must be highly appreciated, so DONATE to him!!!!!
Hello Geohot,
I would like to share one more perspective to your point of not paying to people who unlock. Your are right but ...
Your this efforts will give rich community their luxury phone unlocked. But give bread-butter to many.
In India (might be else where too) there are guys not so educated, earn their earning by repairing and unlocking phones. And have to support their big/poor family. And happy to get such small fee for their efforts.
So should we stop such people ? Not these at least.
You have not created unlock free!! But created a industry who can earn. You are feeding indirectly many.
I use to get angry on Apple Fat brains to lock their phones, but other side of this is due to locking, many people earn !!!!!!
Kindly dont take this comment in wrong sense, but we have come to this world with some quality, if our qualities get utilized for the benefits of others. Then this quality is the most precious.
Thank you for your effort. I wish you more such brain, which should crack software for good cause. For the benefit of human race.
Thanks, harpreet singh
Great post and great work. I wouldn't be able to earn a living without the tools you have provided to the iPhone community. That is why I am happy to promote your word and views about freeware and to donate to your cause.
Thanks

Anyways, because of you georgehot, I finally can take out my 3GS 32GB from my drawer that had been locked on September 11 / 911(unlucky day) and now can be use again after 2 months. Really thanks and I also envy you because you had saved alot of people in the world who had their iphone locked. GeorgeHotz, I love you ! Keep it up man!

Great Job Geo
Follow me @iPhonePwn
C'mon Geohot drop the google ads and go to donations only,I've posted about the advertising thing already but would like to hear from you about it and ask you to remove the advertising for these scam sites from your blog.It does not look good for you to have these scumbags on your blog.
Make a post Geohot
respect from Iraq... GEOHOT you are awesome... keep it up
for the work you have done you should be paid but you didnt take the money people are nothing but scums these days i know you work very very hard for us people and i want to thank you .!! your awesome man
Will this release work with the new "unlock proof" bootrom iBoot-359.3.2?
My respect GEO, GBY (From UIO - EC)
GeoHot you are the dude, because you dont sell your soul for these Mother fucker sites !
I'm glad that you're providing all this for free and even fight others who try to make a profit out of it...
but posting a "whitelist", saying you wont give unlock sites a page rank boost and at the same time using google ads ONLY! showing those kind of sites is a bit ridicolous.
still, keep it up.
Guys this is no joke, let's all help GEOHOT in this battle. What I don't get is why people pay these scammers where they can "Donate"for much less.
Come on people let's leave negative feedbacks for these scammers.
geo you example of coffee under development is funny .D..great brain with excellent sense of humor
Surely some online challenge/response could be crafted, so blackra1n users would be required to hit a particular site, input a generated code by the software, and the end user inserts what the webpage replys in order for the process to go ahead.
That way sellers of the freeware would be more deterred, as you could have blatant "You should not have had to pay for this service, please request refund." or similar.
Wouldnt be bulletproof, but would have some impact with little impact on users getting something for free. Just a thought.
DONATE! DONATE! DONATE! DONATE! DONATE!!!
And fu** up these guys that sell his job!!!

you are abso-fucking-ly, the MAN, ya'll my shit, you are the PIMPZ, you fucking RULE. I will fucking donate to you. Fuck yeah.
Dude i'd take the 10 grand and release anyway. He's still going to use your release and charge people for it, he just now doesn't have to pay for it. You deserve to get paid for your hard work.
