Clearly I have misunderstood the rules of Show HN and for that I am sorry.

The website was shared to me some time ago, and I have actively used the information to yield a better TC; which worked flawlessly. And I wanted to share this with the community, by using the Show HN. Apparently things don't work that way here.

Again very sorry for the wrong submission and thank you for all the work that you have done.

Ask HN: Is there an FOSS digital wallet?

from the ask-hn dept.

I am not comfortable using proprietery digital wallets mainly for privacy concerns, is there one that is open source and local first?Searching on f-droid does not return something other than cryptocoin specifics, what I am interested in is loading all the NFC cards I have on it and use my phone instead of carrying all my debit cards and NFC tags together.

Unfortunately I do not (passport-wise), but I do qualify for 482.

Well, after staying around 5 years in NL I would have to say that yes, bikes are a thing here and yes you can definitely have some excellent positions here and overall the place is great.

But covid has forced me to reconsider and I have made the decision to move to a place where I actually enjoy the outdoors and is overall beautiful and adventurous. Australia is that place, and I have been looking to get sponsored for the past 2 weeks albeit with no success.

I am very open in moving to any of the big cities (with Brisbane being my favourite) but it seems that the local employers are reluctant to sponsor even though the process looks straightforward and very affordable.

So yes; relocation to AU is more of a life choice than a carreer one. My question is, do you perhaps know where to look for local companies interested in sponsorship?

From my side, if you want some info on NL hit me with some questions and I will do my best.

I think that the salary should not be a percentage of your life cost rather of the value you create.

Therefore the salary should stay the same wherever I am located.
