I didn't have that problem, maybe they've since fixed it?

Wow. When ever I've done cross border wires they take at minumum 1 day.

I'm curious, are those payments for work you've done for a US company? I do love what transferwise is doing, thats awesome that the banks are riled up about it :)

Thats pretty slick.

A friend had mentioned XE to me, it looked like a good option. What makes it a PITA? You mentioned broker but I'm not sure exactly what you mean.

Even international wire transfers? Eg US to another country.

Is it safe to use Bitcoin?

Wire transfers always seem to take so long. How long do they take for you?

I read about them, they sound awesome. Is your employer happy to use them?

Does PayPal also charge their international fee and currency exchange fee? https://www.paypal.com/cr/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-xborde... https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/helpcen…

Yes, transfer fees etc. Also I found out my bank takes a cut on currency exchange!! Eg they take 2.5% vs the market rate. PayPal fees seem high.

To those that work for a US company (but live elsewhere), how do you get paid, and do you manage to avoid horrible fees?

Very slick, works well on my phone. But I dont really get it. What does it do?

You could avoid that by 1. having many apps up at once instead of just one. 2. Probably isn't hard to use a proxy for each device.

Ah interesting, as in: she's the person who rates your app if you "buy" some ratings?

The swiping seems to be really laggy, makes it seem like its broken.

I think Level 3 is saying they'd be willing to pay for the cards, but not bandwidth, eg continue using the free peering agreement. Verizon is saying that Level 3 should pay for the…

It doesn't look like they had a control group, did they?

I'd love to hear your success (or lack thereof) with retargeting. Have you concluded that it delivers a positive ROI, eg are you sure those people weren't going to buy anyways? My …

Looks like you built your own http://cloudinary.com but with less features

I've talked to a few businesses (mostly Saas) who run AdWords campaigns that don't "work". The campaigns drive some traffic, but they're not seeing a good positive ROI. Have you ma…

I'd be interested in discussing further. Fire me an email alex at alexblack.ca
