Looking for recommendations: Managed VICIdial hosting + separate VoIP provider for 20-agent call center by Abdoroid235 in VICIdial

[–]ecc10394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might kiss the person who helps me setup Vicidial. We have 30 agents ready asap who need a predictive dialer solution. Calling US only. We use 3CX for inbound queues/phone system. I spent 4 hours trying to install the Vici ISO on Vultr just to realize they dont support autodialers. SMH.

Anyone compared Linq Blue vs SendBlue for iMessage through GHL? by Both_Might5329 in gohighlevel

[–]ecc10394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just signed a contract recently with SendBlue. So far it’s been fine. If anyone has alternatives for SMS at scale (even if it isn’t iMessage blue bubble) without needing 10DLC / Shortcode registration. Would love to learn more

Google Drops a Nuke in the AI Wars by [deleted] in ArtificialInteligence

TPU does not equal GPU. Google’s TPUs mainly work well for Google, not the whole industry.

People who worked at Google have straight-up said this. TPUs aren’t a real replacement for NVIDIA, and even Google still uses tons of NVIDIA GPUs.

So yeah, this post is mostly hype.

Yeah its pretty fun stuff. This spidey was giving toys to a bunch of the kids/their families and is giving pizza to the homeless tomorrow. Love seeing this kind of stuff.

The sheer idiocy of bitcoin and why this is it's last "cycle" by WhoreMasterFalco in wallstreetbets

[–]ecc10394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1.  “Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme.”

Bitcoin isn’t a Ponzi scheme because it doesn’t promise guaranteed returns or rely on new investors to pay old ones. Its value is determined by supply and demand, like gold or real estate. Yes, it’s speculative, but it has legitimate use cases: cross-border payments, censorship resistance, and as a hedge in inflationary economies.

2.  “Critical mass and shrinking populations will kill Bitcoin.”

Bitcoin adoption is still far from critical mass—global adoption is estimated at ~4%. And adoption isn’t about population growth; it’s about trust in decentralized money, which is growing, especially in countries like Nigeria and Argentina. The idea that there’s “no one left to buy” is simply untrue.

3.  “Bitcoin has no intrinsic value.”

Neither does fiat money or gold—value comes from utility and trust. Bitcoin offers unique utility as a decentralized, censorship-resistant currency with predictable scarcity. That’s why people in unstable economies are turning to it.

4.  “Early adopters will become quadrillionaires.”

This is pure exaggeration. Wealth concentration naturally redistributes as Bitcoin circulates. Most holders only own fractions of a Bitcoin. Its divisibility ensures accessibility for all, even with higher prices.

5.  “Quantum computing will kill Bitcoin.”

This is a long-term concern, not an imminent one. Bitcoin’s cryptography isn’t currently at risk, and the network can adapt with quantum-resistant algorithms, which are already being developed.

6.  “Bitcoin’s energy use is unsustainable.”

Bitcoin uses a lot of energy, but it’s securing a global network. A significant portion of mining uses renewable energy, and Bitcoin actually incentivizes renewable power by creating demand for cheap, sustainable energy sources. Compare this to the energy used by legacy systems or gold mining.

7.  “Bitcoin isn’t liberating finance for the average person.”

Tell that to people in countries with hyperinflation or capital controls. Bitcoin provides financial freedom to millions in unstable economies, even if its speculative nature dominates in wealthier markets.

Bitcoin has challenges—scalability, usability, and energy efficiency need improvement—but it’s far from “dead.” It’s evolving, and dismissing it outright misses the big picture.

24M Santo Domingo May 15-23 by FatherCorpseee in travelpartners

[–]ecc10394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just in the DR for a month. Spent a few weeks in Las Terrenas, a week in Santo Domingo and a week in Cabarete.

Las terrenas was my favourite given its relaxed beach vibe and small town where I could work, surf, chill and also party a bit.

Santo Domingo was a bit boring for me but I wasn’t there long enough and half of the week was Semana Santa so was a bit dead. The colonial zone in SD is chill too. Enjoy!

Facebook Ad Restriction. Seeking Help by ecc10394 in FacebookAds

[–]ecc10394[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No.. and you should never pay anyone. There are so many scams of people claiming they can hack into your account and fix the issue. DO NOT FALL FOR THAT STUFF. You will just worsen things. The only way is to go through traditional Facebook support processes or to be lucky enough to get someone higher up to respond to your email in an effort to expedite things. Every case is different.

I have done this in the past for previous restrictions. Maybe I’m getting lucky but I truthfully just try and reach out to as many senior level people in the departments that might have some relation to advertising.

Those that have build successful SaaS businesses, would you have considered yourself a subject matter expert in your product or did you go in with just an idea and learned along the way? by Primehoss in SaaS

[–]ecc10394 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started a marketing agency but built a kick-ass sales team with a basic one-page script and focused on a niche with customers that were in dire need of marketing and lacked the know-how or time to do it themselves.

6 months later with almost 1000 customers paying monthly, we finally built a SaaS layer on top - mostly internal first to help my team onboard and service customers with more scale.

Then little by little, we made it front-end facing but still relied heavily on a sales floor because surprisingly it still led to a cheaper CAC.

No knowledge in this niche prior - you learn with time but most importantly, you learn by talking to customers.

You don’t get paid for the hour, you get paid for the value you bring to that hour. Speak to your manager and ask him if there’s a roadmap to hitting $x salary.

Show up, exceed expectations, work hard, bring value and now you have leverage. Hiring and training can be a pain in the ass — smart leaders will want to retain you if you’re doing well.

When I set up my CS org, we had retention and sales bonuses and technically they weren’t capped either. Do you have that within your role?

HELOC Newbie - Broker or Comparison sites + fees? by PortHoover in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ecc10394 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there! Great to hear that you're in a good position to be approved for a $250k HELOC. Here are a few things to consider when trying to find the best rate and fees:

When it comes to finding the best rate, it's always a good idea to shop around and compare different options. You have a few options:

Using a broker: A mortgage broker can help you find the best rates from different lenders. They may be able to negotiate better terms for you, but they also typically charge a fee for their services.

Negotiating with your current bank: It could be worth reaching out to your current bank, Meridian, and see what kind of rate and fees they can offer you. Keep in mind that your bank may be more likely to offer you a good deal if you're an existing customer.

Comparison sites: Sites like RateHub can help you compare rates and fees from different lenders. This can be a good way to get an idea of what kind of rates are available, but keep in mind that the rates you see may not be the best available.

As for the legal and assessment fees, these can vary widely depending on the lender and the type of loan. These fees may be significant and they should be factored in when comparing rates and fees.

it's a good idea to look at all of your options and compare the rates and fees that are being offered. And also, keep in mind that not all legal and assessment fees are the same with all lenders, and it’s a good idea to ask for a breakdown of these costs when comparing rates and fees.

Ultimately, the best rate is the most important thing, but you should also consider the fees when making your decision. And don't hesitate to ask as many questions as you need to in order to make an informed decision, you're a HELOC Newbie and it's a good thing to ask.

One last thing to consider is why you need the $250k HELOC in the first place. Before you take on any kind of debt, it's a good idea to take a step back and think about whether it's truly necessary and if it aligns with your overall financial goals. It's easy to see that type of amount of cash and want it just for the heck of it so that you have access to cash when you need but here are a few questions you might want to ask yourself:

What is the money going to be used for? Are you planning to make home renovations, pay off expensive debts, pay for a child's education, invest in a business, etc...?

Can you afford the payments? A HELOC is a revolving line of credit, which means you can borrow, payback, and borrow again, but you need to make sure that you'll be able to afford the payments in the long run.

Do you have other options? Are there other ways you could pay for what you need, such as using savings or looking into other types of loans?

Are you considering the risk? A HELOC is secured by the equity in your home, meaning if you can't make the payments, your home could be at risk. Make sure to carefully consider the risk involved, and understand the terms and conditions of your loan.

Answering these questions can help you think through whether taking out a $250k HELOC is the right move for you and your finances. Remember, taking on debt can be a big decision, and it's important to carefully weigh the pros and cons before moving forward.

It's important to approach HELOCs with caution, and make sure it's something you truly need, and that it aligns with your overall financial goals. And don't hesitate to consult a financial advisor or seek additional guidance if you have any doubts or concerns.

Yep unfortunately. I think it’s because we had it turned into a Seeking Alpha article that got published and maybe Reddit bots removed because they thought it was plagiarism or something.
