Yeah. On Paxful you need to buy USDT and then Sell USDT for NGN.
You can choose to sell your USDT on Paxful (The rates on Binance are much better, last time I checked. Geegpay has saved me from crypto watching. ) However if you wish to transfer out, Paxful charges about 5-6$ for outgoing transfers.
Appreciate you. Geegpay has fixed my issue so I'm using them now.

Also, I saw a news about Paxful shutting down. You might want to remove your funds there if you have any

I went to the tax office in my state secretariat. I got it on the spot after a brief discussion with the staff.
Apparently it's just sitting there in their system/portal waiting for a staff member to "Approve" it.

One tip I can share is to not tell them you're already working. They wanted me to pay some amount for back taxes. I had to negotiate down from 50k to 0.
Thanks alot, I experienced the same, I was given the TIN on Monday when I went to the tax office, they also asked me, I told them I didn't come with cash, moreover, it free, I got it anyway

Guys with the improvement of AI bots such as GPT. Do you think we freelancers should start seeking a plan B.

I mean with the power of those AI, I don't think freelancing will last any longer.
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Ayomipoe(m): 2:01pm On Apr 08, 2023
LOOOL.
Sounds like a joke.

GPT may be able to write a fantasy novel soon, but there will always be far more interesting human authors using it as an assistant.
GPT is just a tool, how do you translate emotion into code, giving love and hate weights?
Imagine you need to write a 300-page novel, even after feeding the AI the prompts, it will never be perfect. You also know that the end target of the novel is a human ( at least for now ), so the structure of the book has to make sense, not just ramblings of predictive text.

Same for code, I don't know anything about Elixir and Phoenix, but yet I needed to desperately create a route on an existing project and return a response. I did not have the time to open Manning and finish a textbook for something due in 2 hours. So I asked GPT, and as you can see from the screenshots, it was a good tool to use, although not perfect.
In my opinion, it is the same way people fear technology, they start to think of how it makes their field extinct. If you think computers have taken away the job of accountants, or AI will suddenly be able to prepare your books for the tax man or write legal documents for you, I sincerely wish you well.

it's like one will stop using Geegpay, it's 725 compared to 740 rate, that's a whole loss of funds compared to Direct BDC.

I mentally track their rates with naira4dollar.
The only reason why I use them is because of convenience, and that UBA DOM account prevents you from transferring with the mobile app.

I hear access bank still works with Payoneer though. And you can easily transfer to another access dom account. I think I'll be going back to that method since paxful is no longer an option.

Why not use https://noones.com it is simply Paxful rebranded. I migrated my data completely from Paxful and I have already traded Wise several times on the new Platform

Hi

Please I need some advice and direction.
I want to receive payment from a client off Upwork. I want to know which platform is the best option.
I have actually tried wise but payment reversed back to the client.
I need another option.
I will appreciate a feedback
Thank you
Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Ayomipoe(m): 3:40pm On Apr 11, 2023
Remitly directly to your DOM account. If the person is from the US, ACH to GeegPay. I wonder why Wise is being reversed tho, suspicious!

Please this is 2023, and even clients are looking for Nigerians to do good jobs for them, why ghosting?

If you can not make it as Nigerian you can't make it as American.

Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Babtunz: 9:43pm On Apr 12, 2023
Hi all, please I need your inputs. So there's this client I'm working for at the moment, we agreed they'll be paying me by milestone for the contract.

However, the work I'm doing for them is totally off Upwork and is not something I can submit.
I basically do my work on my PC and push it to their version control infrastructure (think GitHub).

Since the contract started, they've released payments for two milestones so far. And each time the milestone is approved, I do not submit anything (reason above), just a simple message to maybe say thanks.

I'm worried Upwork might think there's something off - that I'm being paid without doing any work (which is false) - and could lead to them suspending my account.

What do y'all think I can do about this? I really hope I'm not breaking any of their rules.

Thanks for your feedback! I appreciate it.

I don't see a problem here, as long as you have an active contract on Upwork and you are getting paid on the platform, you are good.

If any issue arises, they will reach out to you and ask for prove of work.

I once had a client I worked with for about 6 months, the job was customer service and there was nothing to "submit" on Upwork.

You cannot bypass the verification, simply ask a friend in foreign country to allow you to use his account, and even if he agrees, you will be considering the tax of the country if it is worth the effort

That's a breach of Upwork's terms of service that can get you permanently banned.
