   Hi- thanks! I open sourced the code so that no one is locked into the service. You can run your own instance if you like very easily. If it becomes very expensive for me, I'll try to just operate it at close to cost. I don't think

   If it really helps some cool new services get off the ground, I'm happy to spend a little money on it and in the FAQ it says that if you verify more than 30,000 numbers, we'll ask you to help defray the cost. I don't expect l

    You can view content on the site without an account, but you need to use Twitter or Facebook to create an account right now and edit anything. We might change this later.

    Can you send the e-mail address you tried to use to bugs@quora.com? Our validator allows for domains that start with numbers so I think it was rejecting the e-mail based on something else.
