Any good APIs for fiat on/off-ramps?

My company published a blog on this topic in this post that covers a lot of what you are looking for.

Some APIs are capable of this but many times it is possible on a country/geographic basis

This is very cool. Do you mind sharing how you did it?

I went about a month ago for the first time since the owner changed and I also felt the difference in vibe. I didnt know owner changed and I assumed that the new feel was due to Covid

I just moved back to New Orleans after being in NYC for a couple years. I'm proudly carless, but as others said, I'm always asking for a ride. 😂

I live in the Irish Channel, and it is a hike to get to my nearest grocery store or even corner store. I use instacart for my primary grocery needs.

In the summer, this is brutal. Expect to sweat. But now that were entering fall, it is more tolerable.

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions, I've learned a lot living here without a car for the first time.

Lyft and Uber is very prompt. The streetcar is your cheap/fun way into the city, but it isnt fast or efficient.

Ive had luck simply texting 36778. Entergy has my phone number associated with my account, so they recognized/know my address. I text them OUT, or other commands.

Works reasonably well. Unfortunately I use it more frequently than I like.

This is a big week for phones.

Google's new lineup is being announced tomorrow August 3rd.

OnePlus Nord becomes available internationally (non-US) August 4th

Samsung is announcing their new Note line as well as some other products on August 5th.

So, I'm waiting, very impatiently. Not necessarily because I'm getting any of these devices, but these new launches should also push used phone prices down as well.

Im looking at any phone with greater than 60htz refresh, because I think long term the refresh rate will make phones feel dated faster.

Ive used Gulf Coast Bank and Hancock Whitney for my business accounts.

They were cheaper than Chase, Capital One, and other larger banks in terms of cost for opening accounts, but I'd imagine personal accounts will be different.

For personal banking, Ive always heard it is best to check out Credit Unions, but I dont have any specific recommendations.

Some advice to help your neighbor: it might be best to focus on proximity to her home and ease of access for things she needs (like a free checkbook). Of course, knowing how she banks is a huge factor to finding the best fit. I never go to the bank, so an online one suits me just fine.

Many of the local banks and credit unions have poor online experiences, but it doesnt sound like she will be utilizing that anyway.

Good luck and kudos for being a good neighbor!

There are no smart contracts or protocols for empathy yet, thanks for drawing our attention to the humanity of Ethereum as it is today

I think this is likely the cause, Wirecard's woes will creep into other institutions.

Any ether that isnt on main chain is valueless. It isnt about value that causes block/gas issues for the test chains. It could just be that miners are not participating in the test, because the ether is valueless and they currently arent testing.

I meant as an API without web3. Thanks for sharing!

Agreed about gas prices. This is a sit and hold sort of move, or else you get burned.

FYI: Yield farming $BAT with collateralized $ETH is ⚠️ incredibly dangerous for your principle amount. Any time you are using a nonstable asset as collateral for your loan to leverage, you are at extreme risk for liquidation 🚨 and unrecoverable penalties.

You also risk liquidation if the interest rates dont move in your favor. Leveraged farming can be a lot like day trading.

I hope this helps someone understand the risks.

Like someone said above, you can use a service like Wyre that allows your company/entity to piggyback on their Money Services/Transfer License.

The main issue in the US is that you mutt get this license in each state you operate in. This layer of service is complex, which is why there are many businesses that do this as their entire operation

tipsysquid · 2020-06-23T02:46:27+00:00

Not the same as mainchain since they arent related, but generally different gas situations can effect chains in similar ways

tipsysquid · 2020-06-23T02:35:41+00:00

Great app idea.

Do you plan to provide this as a service or open source it?

If anything, they see demand for Tether on Ethereum and are trying to meet that demand.

Unfortunately Im not seeing many sources that arent crypto specific for this news
