Zibri, the creator of ZiPhone, is leaving the business of jailbreaking and delving into personal issues. Even though he hasn’t contributed to the 2.0 jailbreaking scene, he was still a major part of the 1.1.X jailbreaking effort. He made my extremely time-consuming (1 hour) instructions for jailbreaking 1.1.3 (here), into a process that took about 2 minutes. Here are the words from the man himself.

It was an incredible ride, guys, and I’m sincerely grateful
to everybody who made this happen.
As some of you may know, from the 7th of November 2008 I’m a father.
All my efforts are now focused on my family then, later, I’ll start some other project
maybe related with the iPhone, maybe not.
So, from now the ziphone.org domain (Pagerank 6 on Google) is FOR SALE.

I don’t really get what the whole domain sale is for, though. It won’t be the same for whoever actually buys it. Zibir, we won’t forget all the hard work you put into the jailbreaking community. Thank you.

   Hi! Thanks!
   Well I’m not retiring.
   I’m just selling the domain.
   But as I wrote, only for the right price.
   Otherwise it will stay there for historical reasons

   I guess you are “partially retiring” from the public iPhone hacking world. In “Zibri’s World”, however, you are still active. I keep some tabs on you.

   I really wanted to buy this domain – is it sold?
