It's a big club and you aint in it. Now give us your sats and say thank you.
The OpenSats country club needs you to believe theyre a "democratic org" with "no dictator" after they let NVK sit there and ABUSE devs that MIGHT interfere with his business interests. For damn near a decade. With Odell parroting this same hollow line that "there are 9 board members = fair and democratic". Two aggressive businessmen surrounded themselves with nerds and women. As if those with no dog in the fight would say no when those two decided to steer money to friends and away from threats to their business interests. Total sham.
Odell is still on the board. The people that watched and enabled NVK's bully behavior and nepotism are still there. And they want you to believe theyre completely transformed and democratic. It is a lie. Do not give a sat until Odell steps down and theres major reform.

Still planning on it! Iโm done with the cartels.
right now though i need maybe $2000 ... broke my leg. need pins to make sure they heal straight.
guess i am stopping smoking lol also.
As if there weren't enough signs. "Democratic" should even tell you everything you need to know. Every one of these things you look at on its own makes OpenSats look like a bad idea to support or depend upon.
yes. i leaked the old one. was some time ago now. i forget, mabe iwas in tbilisi or istanbul when it happened. Or was itlast month when i was in bishkek. oh yeah, i made htts://git.smesh.lol/advertize because of it.
@HODL you are a coward attacking your buddy with your alt ๐
update btw:
approximately $1387 is the bill for the surgery and $320 per week i am in here. haha i wish i could go now, but this means that i am owing probably $2000 in total by the time i get the stitches out and i'm able to walk (carefully) without crutches.
i know i can cover much of it but then i have the problem that i have to leave kazakhstan because of visa limitations (3rd of october i need to be on my way elsewhere). and i'm gonna come up short there. probably i have 2100. probably in 2 more weeks time i can pay that bill and be out of here but i need about $250 for a flight to georgia, plus ongoing funding for $60/month health insurance and about $20/day for living costs. i can't even go back to bishkek... i have to go forward somewhere else. georgia is the easiest for completely sorted out.
so, i keep posting my ads, because i'm hoping someone out there needs something done and i can do it and make the extra ~$500 or so i need in the immediate term. i have an ongoing contract, which i haven't been working on enough but i will get to it, 100h/month racked up about 6 on that so far haha. anyway. i think there is other things coming in that might fill the gaps already but more is always welcome.
well, anyway, there's no real need to panic. i have to leave kazakhstan by 3rd october either way. that's not even up for discussion. i will just arrange to pay them end of october, that's gonna have to be good enough :P should be anyway. they can't get a debt collection order against me any sooner anyway. i wouldn't even care that much if it meant a travel ban but i'd rather not and these people didn't do a completely bad job taking care of me so it's not moral or ethical for me to not pay anyway, just came out of the blue, like the fracture itself.
