  @Oneirio I've been doing commissions on VGen and then having the money from there go to my business PayPal with no issues at all. I don't think VGen requires a code anymore either?

  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

  oh great, latam is in trouble now if these groups start targeting it. The security is laughably bad and so much so that even gov web sites in places like Mexico and Brazil do absurd things sometimes like disabling right click in the browser while also running 5+ year out of date wordpress based apps. I live in Argentina currently and find this a bit disturbing since mercado libre and mercado pago are tightly linked like how ebay and paypal used to be. Mercado pago getting pwned could turn into a major dumpster fire. I see this thing growing in latam in general because the comical security also extends to basically all mobile apps like rapi and pedidosYa(like uber eats) as just two almost obvious examples that almost certainly will get pwned eventually.

  In my opinion: One of the major reasons Tech Nation applicants get rejected is self‑authored evidence. Over the past few months, one rejection reason keeps appearing again and again, evidence dismissed as self‑authored. When applicants book consultation calls with me, many don’t fully understand what this means. Others feel their evidence was unfairly judged. But the truth is this, in most cases, Tech Nation’s feedback on this is true. I’m not saying applicants are lying or fabricating documents. Most are not. The real issue is how the evidence is presented and the type of evidence being submitted. What “self‑authored” really means People think self authored only means you made it up. But it’s deeper than that. If your evidence can be easily created by you or anyone else, Tech Nation may treat it as self authored, even if it’s true. For example: Dashboard screenshots made from something like a Canva templates Charts created in Excel self designed visuals showing revenue, users, or growth you manually entered. These things can be created by anyone in minutes. There is no external validation. No third party source. No independent confirmation. Even if your numbers are real, Tech Nation, I believe will begin to doubt. And let’s be honest, mistakes happen when people manually enter numbers into Excel or Canva. That alone, is enough to creates doubt. What I Believe Tech Nation trusts more From my experience with successful applicants. Evidence from credible, external, independent sources carries far more weight. Let’s continue with the instance above, instead of using canva template or excel to show earnings, use 1. Payment gateway earnings (Stripe, PayPal, Flutterwave, etc.) 2. Audited financial statements 3. Signed statements of account from a Bank These sources are harder to fake, harder to manipulate, and easier for Tech Nation to trust. Because it involve people, organisations, platforms they can trust, contact if they need to. The simple rule to avoid rejection as a result of self authorship This is one of the simple rule that has helped most of the successful applicants I have guided. If you also want to reduce the risk of your evidence being dismissed, make sure every piece of evidence comes from, or is backed by, a credible platform, organisation, or individual. If it looks like something you could have created yourself, Tech Nation may treat it as self authored, even if it’s genuine. Your evidence should remove doubt, not create it. Your job is to make Tech Nation’s job easy. Raphael here! I provide experience‑based guidance for Tech Nation Endorsement (Stage 1) applications, leveraging proven strategies that have helped numerous successful candidates. I am not an immigration lawyer, and my guidance is based solely on practical experience, successful evidence structuring, and real‑world application insights. Leave your questions in the comments, I’m happy to answer. All the best.

  @thetect0nic @NSAGov Fable being pulled down has absolutely nothing to do with the David Saks being part of Elon Musk’s Paypal mafia and the IPO of SpaceX, except for that happening on the exact same day. 🙃

  @MAGAVoice Zohaan is working towards people improvement. Elon is working towards self-enrichment, that the system has been built for. he has the money, the larger zionist ecosystem , the Paypal gang. Zohran has nothing, and the entire media tried taking him down for doing right by people

  @camiinthisthang I recently caught an LLM trying to implement a payment API without an idempotency key. Explain how a non technical person would catch or understand the problem here? I assume that you, as someone who worked at paypal, should be able to answer this if being technical is just cope
