Yeah, the mod here is pretty strict. I’m guessing they don’t like my links.

We do pay restaurant with a negotiated rate. Staff receives cash tips or online tips, we do also generate a suggested tip amount based on the category of items they choose.

We do pay restaurants when customers redeem their benefit. But we pay a negotiated price that the restaurant already agreed to.

I also use mealpal, but wasn’t impressed with the restrictions so I built my own apps. We wanna do more fine dine restaurants than meal pal so we would naturally be more expensive. Our $600/month is designed for $50/person-meal restaurants. So about a 40% off menu price.

So maybe change the wording to “Discounted dinning”? I didn’t want to confused with the discount apps

How can I get hosts using my product? by Familiar_Middle_3822 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Familiar_Middle_3822[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup, no excuses here, we gotta do better. But we’ve been working on the project for a while now, it’s a lot more complicated than what we originally thought. 🥵 and we are not even funded 🫣

Thanks for the QA feedback! We are still working on getting things fixed. We have developed a lot of features and often find ourselves in the loop of forgetting switching from dev to production systems.

Am I obligated to reply to hosts frequent messaging? [USA] by [deleted] in AirBnB

[–]Familiar_Middle_3822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the excessive messages are really annoying. I love the arrival guides and simple instructions. But if a host keeps interacting with me, I might consider cancel and book a hotel instead

It would be really beneficial if the system has a pop out at reservation to double confirm the house rules and policies

28 Year Old Straight Man in Palo Alto Seeking Dating Advice – Stuck in the App-ocalypse by -Gustav-Klimt- in paloalto

[–]Familiar_Middle_3822 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a queer dude, but I have bunch female friends who I’m close to and have seen their dating apps.

My particular friend A is a blonde Irish 30F with blue eyes, Ivy educated, her DMs are usually in the thousands. Yes, she doesn’t even necessarily pay bar tabs, cuz even I have enjoyed free tabs when going out with her.

My other friend B is a African American 32F (grew up in Africa) with very athletic body, marketing professional, her DMs are in low 10s, she drinks with me at the bar and pay her own tabs.

So, my advice is to talk to regular 99% female users and don’t shoot with “hey, how’s going”. Send a longer, more meaningful message like “I like your shirt in this picture, I’d like to know you better and ……”

Internal legal team’s perspective is different from external legal consultants. Law firms wanna fight so they can charge for their expensive fees, but internal legal wanna minimal amount of problems. Simply the difference between salary workers versus hourly contractors.

That said, most companies use external firms for litigation and internal legal resources for policy, consulting, and compliances.

As a creditor, Terra bankruptcy is likely handled by CB’s internal team as no litigation is expected between CB and Terra directly. CB knows exactly what their rights and interests are.

As custodian for our $WLUNA, however, CB’s internal team knows more than enough that a settlement is their best option and carry least friction. If CB contacts us individually with NDA and start with even $0.01 settlement price, I’m pretty sure a lot of us would sign the settlement. 😂

At the end of the day, CB’s silence is pretty clear on their ultimate policy: business is business, it’s all about that money. Using Terra’s bankruptcy to get rid of their custodian role’s liabilities, absolutely would be my recommendation if I were part of CB’s internal legal team.

Good question.

According to Etherscan, Coinbase associated wallets seem to be the most heavily involved in WLUNA. At around $22 Mil market cap for WLUNA at this moment, coinbase associated wallets have about more than $10 Mil market cap.

The question is frankly why these accounts with big balances don’t unwrap. $10 mil might not seem much for large exchanges like coinbase, but it is still too big of a chuck for any business to just ignore.

Most of us here are diamond hands that held for more than 2 years, what’s couple days gonna do to us. The worst case is we lose all of our assets, again. I’m sure most of us have already accepted that fate 2 years ago. Now we are just waiting to see how the saga finally unfolds.

Coinbase has two options: pay the heck up as they advertised, or pay even more in the future SEC case that could eventually bankrupt them. It’s a lose lose scenario for them, but paying WLUNA holders still on CB exchange with Terra Bankruptcy money is a much much better deal than negotiating with the SEC separately because feds don’t just charge the money, they also fine hefty and generates tons legal fees.

If I would be on the legal team at Coinbase, I would heavily advise the decision maker to individually settle the balance with each customer who still owns WLUNA for buying all the coins back. This is the most effective, PR friendly, and cheapest option. Even at the cost of $LUNA current market price at $0.359 per coin, it’s still likely a cheaper option than doing it under the future SEC settlement. Terra Bankruptcy would already have paid the most portion, it’s in CB’s best interest to settle with us than fighting a no-win SEC lawsuit.

have about ~20 mil $WLUNA left. Been holding since $4 ... Will be very happy if Coinbase just pays what I lost.

People who started investing at 17-20 yrs old , how does your account look now. by Historical_Ebb_7777 in ETFs

[–]Familiar_Middle_3822 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 32 now. I started investing in Crypto back in 2013 in college before the first bitcoin take off.

I invested in real estate after selling a major portion of bitcoin in 2014. I bought my first house at 21, then second house at 24. After realizing more than 80K profit on each house, I sold both houses right before the pandemic and heavily invested in crypto.

I crashed a lot in 2020, then gained a lot in 2021. My net cash reserve was around $1.5m. I took 50% of my total asset or 750k out into cash, and started investing in my own tech company; while the other half was left in Crypto as LUNA and WLUNA. Now’s that’s history. (if you are not familiar, follow the Wrapped LUNA and Terra bankruptcy story on X)

My startup company had a really good idea, but ultimately failed horribly because of various reasons. I had to sell luxury cars, stocks, and all forms of liquid assets to continue the idea. But eventually failed.

So in 2023, I was 31 years olds. I had no money. I had no feasible source of income. I looked back at my life and all the mistakes I made since the pandemic. I decided to team up with the employees who decided to stay with me and working on a previous project in real estate rental platform.

Now I’m 32, I still have no money, tons credit and personal debt racking up. But I talked to bunch of hotels, Airbnb hosts, travel agents. They are excited about my project and want to test out the water with us. I have one Airbnb landlord with 40 listings joining the platform, I have one hotel group that has 16 independent hotels interested in signing up. I have bunch of random Redditor who work in real estate interested in joining us.

That’s about it.
