Same happend to me. I had to login to DBP (same username and password as GD), cancel the protection, than ask my new registrar (Gandi) to restart the transfer. It seems to have worked, at least now I am in the 'waiting period' for the transfer to finalize.

Thanks, will check it out.

Does one need to reside in US to use your service?

Nope! We have customers throughout the world.

what is really amazing is what amount of traffic goes directly to Wikipedia (just deducting from the spills that we are getting today).

From: http://stats.grok.se/en/200910/Barcode

Went from 24.6k hits to approx 1.3m

Very nice link - many thanks!

Nice, most complicated part for me was getting images "up to the spec.", since I am mostly competing with desktop software, that pre-install drivers and fonts my EPS files needed to embed OCR fonts (it took tons of time to produce them accurately).

I heard about Red laser barcode scanner, but did not try. The problem with EAN/UPC (grocery) symbols is that they are optimized for laser scanning - flat bed, one laser pass, poor light conditions etc ... QR, 2D barcodes are optimized for imaging where a complete (or incomplete) picture is analyzed.

Yes, actually finding a good domain name for this purpose is difficult - so ended up with the long one. Best written in camel case: BarcodeRobot

(vector) EPS files are sold over PayPal - no subscriptions yet, was a side project really but seems to break even the hosting charges etc ...

Obviously the comments on the site are most welcome ...
