Octopus energy in the UK has something like this https://twitter.com/energystatsuk would be great if you could push energy back to the grid and get paid for it too
I was interested in a server, but the website does not mention how much storage or any details at all really. Anyone happen to know where to find that info?
matrix.org is the website for the non-profit foundation that looks after the overall project. https://matrix.org/hosting lists hosting providers, of which https://modular.im is run by the core team and directly funds development of Matrix. There aren't hard storage limitations on Modular currently.
Just to add a dissenting voice to the conversation, I recently attempted to transfer some money with transferwise and they refused just after I had uploaded all of my ID etc. In the end I went with worldremit and they were much easier to deal with. Slightly more expensive but I'd choose that over the hassle of tw.
To add another voice, I spent several weeks in Bulgaria unable to use my Transferwise "borderless" card in any shops (including all the major ones, like Lidl and DM).
The first few times Transferwise insisted it's a broken card reader, then a few calls and emails later it became the merchant's terminal that's at fault.
On some of the calls, Transferwise simply hung up on me when I didn't take "you should try it again" for an answer.
Finally after escalation it became the terminal's providing bank, which didn't recognize my Transferwise card number (issued in New Zealand).
Meanwhile other people used their Transferwise cards at the same locations mine failed. So I requested a European version of my Transferwise card but TW insisted that would break their contract with Mastercard or something.
3 or 4 weeks later, after I had already left Bulgaria, they emailed to update that my card would now be working.
Needless to say, I always travel with more than 1 provider's card with me, and this runaround from Transferwise is why.
Interesting, I had a similar issue with my NZ-issued TransferWise card, however it resolved itself in a few days. This was in Dubai airport & then across a few merchants in the UK, though.
I’m suspecting that the answer to my question would be no, but will still ask anyway. Did Transferwise give you any usable reason for their refusal or was it a blanket “sorry, we can’t do business with you” that many companies use for all kinds of reasons while hiding behind the garb of security and fraud?
