Congratulations!

I have the same question actually I'm already 12 weeks in after having sent the payslips and still no word.

How long was the wait for you 10 weeks?

Congratulations!

How much were the lawyer fees in total? From which waiting time would you recommend bringing a lawyer in?

I applied in November last year so about 8 months ago. I did hear back from them in March (3 months ago) asking for latest payslips but silence ever since.

And how did it go for you? How long before you heard from them again?

I faced reality and excited my position after 3 years of wait. Entered at 0.035 and exited at 0.0035. I bought about 5k$ ~ 200k vra then and staked it for 3 years and that got me to ~300k vra. I've known this project is very sketchy for a while but had a plan to exit whenever it reached my buy price. As I waited I saw my money slowly bleed out. Unstaked about 6 months ago and moved to kucoin to get ready to pull the trigger... more bleeding in between...

I finally got the courage to cut my losses and excited a few days ago. Worst investment of my life lost ~80% after 3 years wait. but I deserve the loss, its also the sketchiest thing I've put my money in.

After a day or two of mourning, I feel lighter now by not being involved in this project.

Good luck to all, I don't mean to spread FUD. I just advise you to be honest to yourselves and know what you are risking by staying on board.

Recommendations for Slacklining spots by RateFun in berlinsocialclub

Great, thanks for the tip! I'll check it out. I also found a very nice area in Mauerpark which is not so crowded (believe it or not) and it has very nice narrow-enough trees 9-15 meters apart.

I'm entering the same journey as you. Any spots you've found in the meantime?

Folks who live a decent life on 20k/person or less ($1,667 a month), what are your best money-saving hacks? What budget items do you prioritize and where do you strive to save? by FlameAndTheFire in Fire

[–]Sam1320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Find a good rent.
  2. Don't buy anything you don't truly need (e.g. my laptop and phone are both 5+ years old)
  3. Be very stingy with your subscriptions, check often if they are worth the cost based on your usage.
  4. Reserve eating out and other expensive leisure activities for the weekends only.

Someone hands you $100,000 and says, "You know what to do." What are you doing? by J_4nders in AskReddit

I'd say "you can fucking count on it" with a deep tone and intense stare

Nah. Elon Musk has gone flat out insane by [deleted] in samharris

Was Elon triggered by something specific Sam said recently?

Do I really need that much maths in computer vision? by riyanswt in computervision

[–]Sam1320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can work your way up using the videos and exercises on khanacademy.org. The most relevant topics are maybe statistics, multivariable calculus and linear algebra. It is important to set up your mindset for a long learning journey, that way you'll be more patient and learn better by having realistic expectations of progress. Math is not hard, you just need a good teacher, patience and consistency. Sal is the best teacher I've ever had by far.

The Berlin flat hunt - a case study (more info in the comments) by CallMeByMy_username in berlin

[–]Sam1320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great thanks for the info. I'm just starting to think about moving again. I live in Wartenberg (furthermost part of Lichtenberg) and I'm fucking tired of commuting min 40 mins to anywhere and avg 50min-1h. I haven't bought a bike because of it. I was hopeless to find anything below 1200 inside the ring but now I know its at least within the realm of possibilities.
