so the idea has beens doing circles and donuts in my head for months now but in simple terms a community satellite with a twist, where the twist is the storage nodes are paid out via paypal in either Euro € or USD $ depending on where the storage node is located i would have put this in the proje…

while at it looking at the customer side: [image] not much is changed, the dropdown in the upper right is moved to the left sidebar but i have added a feature that allows a company admin to set up a org and invite users so they can access company projects, they should be able to do so without th…

[image] boelle: but at some point i will get to where i could launch a satellite I guess there no need to have 99.99% uptime (yet), let just self hosted a satellite and leave it there, 90-95% uptime is good enough for hobby scale (you can improve it later) and congrats on getting this far.

that is also more or less my plan, run it under a dynamic domain name (like duckdns.org ) have some people test it (both as customers and storage nodes). before that even test it myself so i’m sure it works just somwhat “reliable” what i do from there i ‘m not sure of i could register a domain and…

Impressive, sir. Just thought I would offer some encouragement in respect of your progress. Keep up the good work. 2 cents, Julio

Thanks it will take at least another month or 2 before i have the satellite done, then i figured i could as well add config via webinterface to the storage node too so maybe done after summer :thinking:

The main problem with these providers is the monthly subscription plus a percentage and/or fixed fee per account. This is unprofitable for any startup or with low profit margins. Especially if your income depends fully on your customers’ use of your services.

on top of that people like wise just take an example do no accept EU drivers license and goverment issued health card, so they are out, i have tried to use them personal in the past to send money from DK to UK and ended up using the bank paypal was the only i could figure that did accept the goverm…

Unfortunately, PayPal has its drawbacks: not all service providers can accept payments using it, and not just those in embargoed countries. PayPal has a number of internal quirks that allow them to deny payments to perfectly legitimate customers. Of course without disclosing a reason.

While you are at it can it be done so that optionally at a later stage additional ways for paying SNOs can be integrated? I am thinking of global mass payment providers like I have listed here, but also e.g Wise etc.
