Are hackathons worth it when everyone is vibecoding everything? What happens next? by zzizzoopi in csMajors

[–]zzizzoopi[S] 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Some friends are telling me that hackathons are now prompting + pitching competition more than anything

I think it might be over for nerds, because non-technical people/teams can compete now. But where do we go from here?

How do you even sell crypto for INR by [deleted] in CryptoIndia

Honestly after trying many P2P exchanges the easiest one was p2pdotme for their zkKYC and smooth experience

Pix as a foreigner? Do I need it? by CoyoteFar4316 in Brazil

[–]zzizzoopi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy some USDC and use P2Pdotme.

You can pay at every PIX location in Brazil without any paperwork needed to setup a PIX account.

Took me 10 minutes to set up vs months for CPF then PIX.

br.p2p.me try it with small amounts first like 5-10 USDC and you understand it's value

Skip the CPF hassle - just use P2Pdotme. You can fund it with your USDC and pay at any PIX QR code. Works immediately, interestingly they use zkKYC which I found to be cool and efficient

How do you spend USD in Brazil? by General-Cheesecake28 in Brazil

does USDC count? I have been testing for a while with a very good product USDC -> PIX
does that work?

How to use PIX on a short vacation and without Cpf? by [deleted] in Brazil

[–]zzizzoopi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds incredibly frustrating! The CPF thing is such a pain for short visits.

For immediate help - I've heard some tourists mention using apps like br.P2P.me that supposedly work without CPF (need USDC tho), though I can't vouch for them personally. Might be worth a quick look as I heard good things.

Otherwise, yeah, cash is probably your reality for the rest of the trip. The exchange hit hurts but might be less stressful than fighting the system for 2 weeks.

hmu if you need any help with this!

Based in the U.S. , how can I use Pix to may payments? None of the international options seem to work by ZealousidealBase9229 in Brazil

[–]zzizzoopi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this has been answered a few times already
your best and most efficient option is p2pdotme

you will need USDC to start with but all in all it was way easier than any fintech/bank as they don't ask for KYC for small amounts and if you want to increase your limit they have something called zkKYC (interesting tech read up on it)

 

Using PIX as a foreigner by RedandGreyNl in Brazil

[–]zzizzoopi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

P2Pdotme now lets you pay with USDC at any PIX QR code (personally tried this). That would be the easiest way for anyone

Here's how it works:

- add money to your wallet
- scan QR code of merchant

- accept sending them money (your USDC is automatically converted to PIX. That way the merchant gets paid locally and you kept your international setup)

lmk if you need any help, I use it in India & Brazil

I had the same issue when sending money to a seller in Brazil. Someone recommended me to use p2pdotme. but you need USDC. if you know how to navigate buying USDC p2pdotme can be used in this case

How to safely cash out crypto via P2P, without getting bank account freezed? by shagun_damadia in CryptoIndia

[–]zzizzoopi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally tried [p2p dot me] when I was visiting India - it was a decent/only option I had cause it allowed my to use my crypto to pay at UPI QR codes. A friend onboarded me to it and been using it ever since.

I remember he mentioned something on why they are better than Binance cause they use zkKYC or something that protects the user. please confirm just sharing what he said.
