Have you considered how much money you could loose to credit card chargebacks and similar fraud?
How will you stop a flood of scammers trying to use your service to pay a 'freelancer' that is actually an accomplice in Nigeria by paying with a credit card then calling the card company and saying they never did that, or using stolen cards?
Have you seen the recent news stories about North Korea using fake identities and proxies to get North Korean workers remote jobs?
You will need to verify the identities of people you are sending money to.
This sounds like a cryptocurrency exchange with extra steps. Cryptocurrency exchanges have found it very difficult to avoid having their bank accounts closed as soon as the flood of fraud claims starts. Expect most banks to refuse to give you a business account as soon as you mention cryptocurrency.
There are lots of laws around this such as international sanctions, money transfer laws, money laundering regulation, the US Patriot Act, and the requirement for a payment processor to submit form 1099-K to the IRS for anyone receiving over $600.
The entity that is paying will, in many cases, be required to withhold 30% and give it to the IRS, so it will not be as simple as a client just paying you with a credit card. "Withholding tax" can be complicated.
"with the latest policy update in 2021, WhatsApp made data
sharing with Meta mandatory for all users"
"Given the network effects and lack of effective alternatives,
the 2021 Update forces users to comply, undermining their autonomy,
and constitutes an abuse of Meta’s dominant position"
"all users in India [...] will be provided with [...]
the choice to manage such data sharing by way of an opt-out option"
The background to this:
In the early 2010s Whatsapp charged a $1 per year fee, which brought
in hundreds of millions of dollars.
In 2014, Facebook bought Whatsapp for $19 billion.
Before the buyout, Facebook claimed they would not be able to link Whatsapp
and Facebook accounts.
After the buyout they did that, they began doing things like using location tracking in Whatsapp to allow Facebook to know where
someone has been and use Whatsapp calls to allow Facebook to know more about who a person is in contact with.
Meta has been fined much more money by the EU and UK for things they have done with Whatapp.
In comparison, this $25 million fine is so tiny that they won't care about the fine at all.
India forcing them to give everyone in India an opt-out option is a worthwhile win.
I think it is a good thing that people in India will be able to use Whatapp with somewhat more privacy.
I think this would be better with a "How do I use this?" section at the top.
Normal people are unaware that the person who wants to receive a file or message should be the one who generates the key pair (in a public key system).
"To use this, the person who wants to receive a file or message generates a key pair, saves the links on their computer then sends the public link to a friend who uses it to encrypt, saves the encrypted file then sends it to the first person by any convenient means such as email. Messages and files are not stored on this website or sent to this website."
In Chrome browser on Windows and in Firefox and Chromium on Linux, the text on the /signup page is black. The background is black. That makes the text invisible.
It sometimes makes sense to made a distro that is specifically for new or unusual hardware.
I point to Asahi Linux, supporting Apple computers based on their M1, M2 and M3 ARM cpus is a load of work that is still in progress and sometimes issues are only found when a load of people use it. Eventually the source code that has been written or modified to support Apples relatively-new hardware will reach mainstream distros so people can run Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat etc on an M1 mac with working sound, gpu etc.
If some new RISC-V single board computer reaches the market it might make sense for someone to make a distro specifically for it.
A distro for specific hardware may get better performance by being compiled to use the specific instruction set and cpu features.
VOLMET radio transmissions, which are computer generated voices reading out weather information on shortwave frequencies are getting much less range than usual.
Listening on some WebSDRs, overnight Shannon VOLMET on 3413KHz upper-sideband from Ireland was too weak to understand in continental Europe.
The 8.957 and 13.264 daytime frequencies have mostly faded out at my location in the uk.
Hardware that uses a new chip, such as some wifi devices released in the last couple of years, may require using a kernel from backports or waiting a couple of years for a new major version.
The website was/is served by an ip address that appears to be a home or office internet connection from a large cableTV ISP in the city they are moving away from. Out of date Apache httpd.
Perhaps whatever server, old PC or raspberry pi they use to serve the website is current in the back of a moving truck.
Perhaps they have not got internet installed to their new office yet. Perhaps the internet at their new office is CGNAT so they can't directly host a webserver on it.
Windows file explorer parses files in the folder you are looking at.
It does things like read jpg files to get the date that that a photograph was taken from the EXIF data, read eml files to get the date that a saved email was received and read mp4 files to get "DateReleased" or "DateEncoded".
I prefer having a medium amount of RAM, 32GB, because I mainly run Linux with xwindow and many years ago I generally found that it handled out-of-memory condition very poorly.
I do not like the whole of xwindows crapping out or applications being killed.
I don't really know if it is better than fifteen years ago and have little interest in finding out.
Anyone doing that should be warned that it is not unusual for a new laptop to have the harddrive/SSD encrypted with bitlocker without any notification to the user.
If you don't create a Microsoft account and then later the laptop won't boot or the TPM gets erased then you loose access to all the files on it if you didn't make a copy of the bitlocker key. You can't take the hdd/ssd out and read it using another computer.
You can also be screwed if you don't have access to the email address used for the Microsoft account.
Yes, people should have backups but they often don't.
