Venmo is owned by PayPal and will freeze your account just like PayPal.

1) you need an archive node to get historical events which is the only way to do lots of things. E.g. scrape all NFTs

2) Erigon has horrible bugs and is missing data. I filled a ticket against one such issue and they "fixed" it by making the exception go away and returning null. Their lack of attention to detail made me abandon the project.

If you know someone in the project I can produce MANY examples and would be willing to do so because running an archive geth node sucks.

Name a main stream one that is easy? I run archive nodes for SOL, ETH, Polygon, others.

Have you tried storing the list lately? I don't think you have a 10TB plus flash drive.

Crypto is more and more centralised because the hardware to run your own node is now thousands of dollars. That is without even getting into miners...It is kinda failing.

Ahhh, yea did that as a kid too. Although, I tipped it on its side. The trick was to make toast then microwave the cheese :)

But seriously, my mom was furious. No YouTube required.

I still maintain a product with a few $100K/year revenue written in meteor. We long ago ditched the backed/DB layer but the frontend has aged fairly well. It is still fast and responsive. I will never create another product in meteor but I don't regret using meteor for that product. Coffee script on the other hand.... :P

My account was effected. I contacted support and they said it would remain open. Today I got an email saying it will be closed. I transferred my 10K cash balance out. I still don't know if my account will remain open. I used to recommend Brex heavily but their communication has been horrible.

Also, A one month notice to change all payments is insane. Brex should not be trusted.

But, see, your analysis doesn't inspire confidence in the economy which is bad for the economy. We need a different explanation. Ya know like "transitory inflation". Dam, used that, I guess Ukraine.

You sure you were not just out of the loop? Engineers are often not included because they would object. You were only there a few years so I doubt you were privy to much of the politics.
