  Saint John: Evernode 1:1 Freedom (@AverageJohnEVR) reported 6 minutes ago

  The utility of bitcoin has always, to me, been to force the governments of the world to give the humanity what they deserve, self-sovereignty. Bitcoin cured many ills in the world by bringing us all together and giving us all a clear view of how the traditional banking tyrannists are abusing media and other platforms to brainwash the population into accepting that they have no place to store their productivity for future needs. Bitcoin broke us free from traditional finance slavery, no more do we have to put in 10 times more value than we get back, no more are we forced to get down on our knees and beg our bankers to let us use our own money, no more are we locked to monetary policies inflating our savings away, no more do we need to worry about reversed transactions… And trust me, reversed transactions were one of the biggest reasons bitcoin grew big in the first place. Once upon a time we were making business with each other through paypal and skrill, and it was not an uncommon thing to get our funds frozen and stolen. It was not an uncommon thing to get screwed over by creditcard hijackers and other conartists. Bitcoin saved us from this aswell. But it hasn’t been easy… Today we have valuable assets on blockchains. But it was a bloody battle to reach this point. Me and my friends used to count how many fiat bank accounts we were frozen at. We used to count how many (faulty) police filings for money laundering we had against us… The onboarding of retail during the bitcoincore days were a challenge, we hung out on irc and we educated each other on lanparties… We counted heads, every single new face was a reason to celebrate, and the statistics of the bitcointalk forums were closely followed. I am one of few that managed to stay out of trouble, I almost got sent to jail for money laundering but I prevailed my case. A couple of friends have died along the way and a few others have fled to europe. It truly hasn’t been easy. Today, everything we bled for is being sucked up by scamcoins and VCs… The cryptocurrency industry is solely being used to fundraise venture capitalists and other scammers. Most of the new coins we see are indirectly created by VCs, they are followed by a fancy website and a big exchange listing that generates a pump and a VC dump. After that, all the people that bought the pump are forced to slave and promote their shitcoin to their friends and family, and the only winners are the VC’s. VC’s are here to eat our pie, they always leave with more money than they join in with. So do scammers and meme coiners. The last remaining thing I will do before I die or before I vanish into the shadows is to bless the world with decentralized hosting. I welcome you all to be a part of that, if you still believe in the fundamentals of crypto -Empowering humanity. Evernode is the name of the last project we will ever see in our lifetimes where retail can buy in at the bottom and enjoy the ride for an eternity. It has a low supply in combination with a low price, in combination with a low inflation rate, in combination with predictable halvings. The magic of this project is that it is actually useful, it actually solves things, it actually is valuable, and best of all it is based on a clean capitalistic free market where the invisible hand solves all the obstacles. The network consist of nodes, and each node operator is getting rewarded in EVRs. To get rewarded they have to offer a certain amount of computing power (minimum 4 vcpu, 8gb ram and like 250 gb ssd). The reward exist to incentivize node operators to run the network. But it’s not just about running a network, it’s much more. Each node have ”instances”, and these instances can be rented by network users. When you rent an instance you can use it for whatever you need it for. You can run a website, you can run a bitcoin RPC, you can create a decentralized application for whatever you want, or simply use it to execute orders based on inputs. Example of decentralized hosting: If I want to run a decentralized website that nobody would ever be able to take down, I would host my website on evernode and combine it with a nomadic smart contract and a dynamic DNS. This would mean that my website is moving from node to node, forever, of course until I or random donators stop paying evr for it. While moving from node to node, I make sure the website sends a signal to a dynamicDNS provider, that way I can keep pointing my A record for my domain.tld to the newest node. Of course, I could also just boot up the website on multiple nodes and use a round robin approach, but never the less, since I can decide what countries and what nodes to run my website on, it’s untouchable. The value of this network is incredible, and we will need it to fight the risk of centralized exchanges getting a pure ********** over the markets, this is where the smart contracts get in. Evernode smart contracts: The network got thousands of nodes, if you rent 5 nodes that are independent of eachother, and you force these nodes to shake hand before they execute an order… Then that gives us smart contracts for everything, and the order can be executed based on anything. On evernode instances you can install bitcoin nodes, and you can then send a bitcoin transaction when your instances shake hand about something. What they shake hand about is up to you or the developer to decide. It could be based on the temperature today or based on a webshop sending a payment call. The key here is that we get automated bitcoin transactions on our own terms! Sophisticated programmability for bitcoin has been solved this way. We can create our own decentralized bitcoin exchanges with this methodology. We can price match peer to peer traders with eachother directly on a trading platform, we can even use cexes and price match to cexes and other on/off ramps. This way we can manage to battle the centralized exchange control over our funds (It’s getting really bad and really concentrated, this is a serious problem.)

  21-year-old student living with her mum, single for 6+ months, openly admits she dates for money and will cheat if he doesn’t pay up Babe, you’re not looking for a boyfriend, you’re running a side hustle with terrible ROI. Loyalty isn’t a PayPal invoice, and the streets already have better rates. Men, this is your sign to stay single and invest in yourself instead. Peak 2026 dating logic " Short, savage, factual, and gets laughs while dragging the entitlement. Post at your own risk — it’ll probably cook. Want it spicier or milder?

  A man woke up to 147 password reset emails. Amazon. Netflix. PayPal. LinkedIn. Someone was trying to break into everything. He spent hours changing passwords. Nothing worked. Then a cybersecurity engineer spotted the real problem in under 60 seconds. "You've already been compromised." What happened next surprised him. Here's what every internet user should know: 🧵

  Deeply disappointed in @eBay and @PayPal for their handling of an issue with a Seller on eBay. Allowing the sale of fraudulent products and expecting buyer (me) to return the knock-off product to China at my expense - when the SELLER used photos of licensed product.

  @AskPayPal Hi, I'm locked out of my PayPal account because the verification code is being sent to an old phone number. I can't login to update, can you help me to reset the phone number or disable sms verification so I can regain access please?

  @BuildWithOm This is exactly what I've been seeing at PayPal. The engineers who thrive aren't the ones writing the most code anymore. They're the ones who can architect systems, understand business problems, and make the right technical decisions. I spend way less time on syntax now and way more time thinking about scalability, security, and how systems fit together. The shift from "can you code this" to "should we build this and how" is already happening. What skill from this list are you doubling down on?

  @AirbnbHelp I have an issue adding a card to my account (replacing expired credit card), multiple calls to customer support who cannot resolve. Their suggestion is I use PayPal instead of a credit card??? No card means no more bookings from me. Is this a known issue?

  @AsianDawn4 Even if there was maximum damage, you're talking about 13% of the US population. The damage wouldn't be impactful as Asians are flushed with cash. Plus there are videos of these chicks trying to find and shame patrons of the business. Problem with that is, there is a monopoly over things like nail salons, and there's little choice selection. The business choice selection thing has a time decay. I see people starting to go for Bud Light again, they're using Paypal again.
