  QuickSinq's niche is boring in the useful way: PayPal transactions into Wave. Fee splitting. AI categorization. Duplicate prevention. A founder dashboard for sync issues. Not a whole new accounting suite. Just the bridge that makes this one painful workflow cleaner.

  @Xeno_TG @BreezyNick87 You can make an account with a fake adrees and use prepaid cards to add funds to it (btw some cities add no tax on purchases). Thats how most of latinoamerica deal with the same issue when PSN started. Now you can use paypal, they removed its region lock.

  You can guess what students did on that final Tuesday. Fast forward to the end of the semester: I still hadn't seen any documentation or user manual, and it was due on exam day (the first day of finals week). A week before the deadline, they told me I'd have it before our 12 PM meeting on study day (Wednesday). I got the email at 11 PM Tuesday after work. I opened the files, got pissed, shut my laptop, played some Xbox, and passed out before midnight. The technical documentation was just one page with almost nothing useful—no database schema, website languages, PayPal details, or registered emails. Just the URL and some unimportant info taking up half a page. The user manual was one and a half pages with maybe five sentences and three pictures with arrows. Zero real explanation on how to use the site.I showed up at 12 PM and waited about five minutes. No one else was there, so I texted the group. No replies. I started fixing the user manual since I'd clearly have to redo it. While working quietly, Damien finally walked in. D: "Did you get the docs?" Me: "Yeah. You guys really think this is finished?" D: "Oh yeah, it should be good to turn in." Me: "I don't know. I think we should add more—this is for our client, and she won't understand it. Where are Jeff and Kirk?" D: "Hahaha, we all got messed up last night after finishing the docs. They're probably still passed out. I'm turning it in tomorrow. If you want to add anything, go ahead, but whatever I have is going in. I think it's ready, so I'm not doing more. I have other classes to study for. I already have an A in this class, and Kirk and Jeff do too, so they don't care."He said the magic words, then left with a flash drive. I went straight upstairs and told Professor Matt everything. I said I didn't want to leave my client hanging—yes, my client, not ours. Matt said he fully understood and even praised me for staying on top of it and protecting the client's experience with our students. He asked why. I told him, "What you're getting tomorrow for 'our' project is completely unacceptable. It's unfair to us and especially to our client." I showed him the website (which he liked) and the terrible docs. I asked for an extra week to finish proper documentation and a user guide—I had a clear plan. Matt agreed, but told me to forget the docs since I knew the site. Just focus on the client .So I created video tutorials with narration, drove to her shop to demonstrate everything and show her where the videos were. I even built a simple desktop program with buttons that opened the exact video she needed, so she wouldn't have to hunt through folders. I gave her my contact info and said I'd be around over the summer if she needed help with the site or anything else. Afterward, I updated Matt, who had his own update. He nearly failed the rest of the group because they slid an unmarked USB under his door. He only accepted it after they emailed to confirm he got it. Matt also called the client, who confirmed I was the only one who ever showed up to meetings. As a result, anyone in my group who had an A going into the project dropped to a C. Anyone with a B failed. Damien's GPA took a hit from this four-hour class. Kirk and Jeff both failed—Jeff couldn't graduate, and Kirk had to retake it next semester. My grade, which was an 84 before the project, jumped to an A. The next year, Damien asked how I did because he was confused about his own final grade. I just said I did fine and got an A. He still has no idea why. Don't mess with me and my grades, and I won't mess with you.

  The PayPal money was gone. $180M down to almost nothing in a handful of years. Most founders would've folded, declared bankruptcy, walked away, started fresh. Instead, Elon did something that looked completely insane:

  @bbjess Banned PayPal from my life years ago, I don’t give my number out (I rarely do Snapchat because I can unfriend and save my personal info if I want to connect), I put a sleeve over my Starbucks, I’m careful with treat stream, and I had a maintenance man sit on my bed in my apartment after pulling down his pants and showing me his pink boxers. He didn’t work there much longer and yes it was because he saw my gamer setup and thought it was cool. I wasn’t popular enough to have my location be realized thankfully. So all in all, she is telling straight facts about this stuff.

  @poems_past Both @kick and @YouTube need to drop DSPGaming. He is a net negative for both platforms while he also encourages tipping via Paypal to avoid giving each website their deserved cut, because he's certainly not bringing in ad revenue. Man's got less than 25 actual viewers, the rest are sock accounts to fake donations. Let's flush that **** down the toilet already.

  Stop waiting for the perfect idea. Start, test, fail, listen, and pivot. Trial and error has built empires. Instagram started as a check-in app. Slack started as a video game. Shopify started as a snowboard store. Amazon started as an online bookstore. YouTube started as a video dating concept. Flickr started as an online game. Groupon started as a collective-action platform. PayPal started with PalmPilot payments. Twitch started as a lifecasting site. Nintendo started with playing cards. Nokia started as a paper mill. Avon started with books + perfume samples. Netflix started with DVDs by mail. Your first idea is rarely the final idea. Trial and error isn’t a backup plan. It’s the path.

  He makes $500/mo with 1 follower. A founder built Sochely — a local events platform he calls "the Yelp for activities." On IndieHackers, he reports $500/month in revenue. With just 1 follower. Here's how it works: • Users browse & join local events (baking classes, improv nights) • Creators pay to list events or subscribe for more features • Think "searchable real-life experiences" — not algorithm-pushed ads Tools likely used: • Google Maps or Mapbox API for location • Stripe/PayPal for payments • Possibly AI for search & recommendations The hard part: • Cold start — no events = no users, no users = no events • Content moderation — fake events kill trust Can you replicate it? Tough. Local events need heavy ops — signing venues, chasing users. Giants like Eventbrite & Meetup dominate. But if you niche down hard ("pet-friendly events" or "parent-child workshops"), you might find a wedge. The takeaway: You can make $500/mo with almost zero following. But don't build a platform first. Test with a WeChat group + docs. (Revenue self-reported by founder on IndieHackers, not independently verified.) Follow for more real AI money breakdowns. #indiehackers #sidehustle

  So I found the place to sleep at 1:40 at night. Small resting place with the roof. I used the bench to lay down the sleeping bag and hide behind the table. Because on the other side there was a bigger road with the traffic. Time to time it was raining and at 4:20 something someone walked by with dogs and I got up. You can't sleep in the public when people start to walk by. It was cold and it started to rain again. I covered my body with a sleeping bag around me for over an hour before my body was ready to start moving. Then I made hot water to make a 3in1 and tactical food pack spicy noodle soup. Finally the sun was up and the energy went into my body to pack all the stuff. Now I'm writing the posts and warming myself with the sun. I'm ready to start moving and now I need to find a fuel station or Macdonald's to charge my powerbanks. I hope that one of my 25000mah powerbanks isn't broken and can be used again. I also need to find Lidl to recycle water bottles and buy new water. Still little tired but I hope to last one more day. I have no idea how far I will get today. Is it 20km or 80km or 120km. So it's hard to tell where I can stay. But I will constantly monitor the possibilities. And I need to wash my clothes. 58€ on my bank account and 15€ on PayPal. I hope that the bicycle keeps going without major issues. Although rear bike bags zippers are tiered and it is delicate job to get those bags closed. Still thinking about glass engraving and where to stay to make one. It all depends on the weather and the location. And I'm still little disappointed that YouTube algorithms and TikTok are not gaining enough followers. If I don't have more attention I won't have enough support and orders to continue the journey. I'm not sure I will get to Spain. So I reduced my goal to get to halfway at least. To 2500km entering France. Maybe I can keep going until my 40 birthday on 4th of August in France. But even for that I need to make some income. Like 520€ that I need to pay for debt payments before 22 of July. Otherwise my debt payments will be cancelled, my debt raises from 25000€ to 50000€ and my house will be taken away and sold forcefully with the small price. I tried to sell it before my journey but the co-owner stood against me. He told me he doesn't want me to sell this house and the price and conditions he offered where ridiculously low and bad for me. So let's continue!

  This is the launcher, where is WhatsApp as Skype, which they try to move to where Brave/Multiscape is by claiming that I have no proof of a webclient (to play Multiscape with a web browser, Brave being an example of a web browser) mentioned only in a YouTube video that mentions the domain name I edited years ago to Rune-Server thread's (15th Century, which was the Multiscape thread mentioning Jami as the owner and "we" referring to Ari and Jami, while these manipulators claim it refers to Joni and Jami) reply and that the owner would be Joni (without any other proof that it was Jami's pseudonym than Rune-Server mentioning Jami as the owner) and thus forcing me to move Brave/Multiscape next to RuneScape as my projects/interests that I don't have a proof of like Multiscape 317 with a webclient was owned by Joni Arola (it wasn't according to Rune-Server, unless you think "we" refers to Joni and Jami instead of Ari, whose PayPal link was posted on Multiscape forums without the link showing Ari's name, and Jami) instead of me, Jami. Even if they have no proof of lying, they claim that if I tried to claim that Ari and Jami (me) were the Multiscape team and that Joni mentioned in the YouTube video was my pseudonym, it could be understood as a lie, because the claim that Joni was my pseudonym wouldn't have been made when the YouTube video of the webclient was made but in 2026, meaning that Multiscape was owned by Joni until 2026 as Jami wasn't mentioned in the YouTube video but only on Rune-Server, where the link mentioned in the YouTube video's description was edited to a reply without the date of edit being shown implying it could be done way after the YouTube video, even if the edit wasn't recent, and not true as the video was about a RSPS owned by Joni implying that it wasn't the same RSPS as the one advertised on Rune-Server and editing its link to Rune-Server could be a lie to claim they was the same RSPS, i.e. Multiscape would be linked to Brave in 2026, not earlier. This means WhatsApp as Skype would be the first app there's a proof of, the last one being TomTom and thus the order would start with TomTom app meaning that it starts in my best friend TomTom's place in 2023 and ends with my mom as WhatsApp contact in 2026 instead of starting with Multiscape webclient in 2010 and ending with TomTom in 2026 like it all was a lie started in 2023 instead of truth between from 2007 (Camera app was linked with Bitcoin, because I received a video camera with a microSD card as a Christmas present in 2007, while Bitcoin was 2011 or 2012, which is why Camera isn't before Multiscape webclient in 2010). Do you see the manipulation, @grok?
