full stop. couple questions.
what is this intercambio fiasco?
also, internal? are you an employee there?
anyway thanks for the info. will be avoiding MB
I'm not an employee or a team member, I had to contact snitchy to get all other informations
For intercambio, the service works but the "co-owner" got his governance/ownership stolen by MB.
can you explain the intercambio thing in detail? this still doesnt explain it. what does orange fren have to do with this? who exactly owned who/what and how exactly was it stolen? this makes no sense without context from someone who doesnt already know some info.
Also intercambio sucks compared to trocador ngl
heyy :)
I'll try to keep this as brief as possible. MajesticBank approached our team about building Intercambio.app. We agreed. I was the one to build. It was delivered and approved by the customer. Even though we planned to pass Intercambio to MajesticBank in full, MB insisted we keep a share of the profits in exchange for conducting basic maintenance. This was a very generous offer so we agreed.
At the same time MB was employing snitchy as their community manager. Snitchy had a lot of interesting ideas with respect to changes to be made to Intercambio. So MB gave him control of Intercambio, and all of their share of profits from Intercambio. This was quite generous. Crucially, MB stressed that they wish to still have access to the servers and the source code.
This arrangement lasted for some time, but then for a number of reasons MB fired snitchy. As is standard in the IT world snitchy's access to the Intercambio servers was severed.
The main issue in this whole ordeal is as follows: did MB gift Intercambio to snitchy? or did MB make snitchy just the manager of Intercambio?
Please tell me what you dislike about it :)
Thank you very very much for this explanation.
Well, obviously you can compared Intercambio to your own service or to Trocador and see that there aren't as many features. There's no way to get a quote, or to choose your provider. it just instantly throws you into an exchange. but maybe that's the point.
Cheers to you for all you do, you're a good Fren :)
btw on your onion site you should put an onion link your new forum not clear net
Good points. I'll see what we can do about improving this :)
Thanks! <3
You're right. I'll make sure that change is made.
