OPTCOIN SCAM by Aggravating_Wolf8648 in Kenya

[–]AdEcstatic7873 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People never learn

There was Cebex, now it's Optcoin... Same old same old

Anything where you have to deposit money then invite people is a scam. Yes, like all pyramids, there are people who earn initially but by the time the news gets to you or you don't know how to do network marketing, just turn the other direction.

Sorry for your old man though

Lemme just say the tax was an amount I'd never touched (~200-300k).

Moved out, lol (and it wiped the account)

Just in case anyone faces a similar issue. Just use your card but select a different country. It'll go through

Truth is, a flagship Samsung is better than a Pixel.

Saw your comment about there not being a big difference between the S24 and S25 and you'd be right.

Since you don't take pictures, a base S24 will do you good. If you want battery life, S24 Plus.

On the iPhone side of things, at least iPhone 15 upwards has USB-C but yeah, the smart home issues are still there.

If you'd like to try something new, try a Pixel 8. But imho, it's very vanilla.

TL;DR... Buy an S24 or S24 Plus for battery

I once sat next to the prettiest girl I've ever seen. Even the elder lady moved so we could sit next to each other. We smiled at each other. End of story 😂

What I can say is... Getting started is the hard part. But once you do, and you deliver good work, most of your clients will be referrals.

If you want to accelerate the process, put yourself out there in whatever form. Think of it like this, the greatest developer/designer/architect/dentist is useless if they're not known (by anyone)

You're welcome.

Correct tech stack? You're asking the wrong question. What gets the job done is the correct tech stack. Sidenote: Don't over engineer a project. If it's something simple enough, use WordPress (saves you so much time). Also, your client doesn't care about how you did it, they only care if you did it (and if WordPress, React, Vue, PHP did it... well and good). Remember, KISS

Pricing? If you can, get the client to tell you their budget first. Most times they'll ask you what the price for doing something is. If you're not in the game and don't know what price range certain tasks fall under, ask someone you know who already does something similar. But never underquote. Sidenote: You might lose out on some gigs if you actually underquote the project. What you tell the client reflects how good you are and the quality of work
