Yes, ok so Stripe cut off our account

2017-09-21 01:44:00 UTC  

So right now, basically no one is paying dues, because we are 100% cut off from processing credit cards

2017-09-21 01:44:07 UTC  

every credit card processor has shut us down

2017-09-21 01:44:13 UTC  

Ah ok I figured as much well that makes me feel better

2017-09-21 01:44:17 UTC  

That's trash!

2017-09-21 01:44:27 UTC  

Oh right, I need to figure out this bitcoin thing so I can join formally

2017-09-21 01:44:28 UTC  

Any one in the north east region can contact me (NJ,NY,CT,RI,VT,NH,VT,ME)

2017-09-21 01:44:39 UTC  

Goddammit 👿

2017-09-21 01:44:39 UTC  

Which i apologize about delay in post Cville contact, but the leadership team has been sorting through all this

2017-09-21 01:45:13 UTC  

So everything will be run through bitcoin

2017-09-21 01:45:21 UTC  

I didn't know that Michelle Obama knew how to work a switchboard

2017-09-21 01:47:07 UTC  

lol, but yeah. So our tech guys have built us a dashboard, private forum (which we will use instead of here due to discord shutting down WN chats)

2017-09-21 01:47:15 UTC  

we will pay dues monthly, quarterly etc in bitcoin

2017-09-21 01:47:29 UTC  

and, each members profile on the forum will show if they are up to date on dues, as a friendly reminder

2017-09-21 01:48:17 UTC  

but it will be far more secure as a platform

2017-09-21 01:48:54 UTC  

Can I give you a different email I've been using to get the info to instead of my old one?

2017-09-21 01:49:26 UTC  

yes, so this week, hopefully tomorrowish, everyone will get the details sent to set up their account

2017-09-21 01:49:33 UTC  

on that, you can modify your address, email, etc

2017-09-21 01:50:24 UTC  

this will make it a lot more efficient for keeping up to date, vs going through several channels to get things updated

2017-09-21 01:51:18 UTC  

Awesome, I'll keep a lookout for the old one. Since I officially joined, by being at Cville, it's just gonna go to my email I listed on the Charlottesville sign up page, correct?

2017-09-21 01:51:48 UTC  

It should be, ill be posting a pinned post in here for anyone who doesnt get it, to get with our tech guys

2017-09-21 01:52:17 UTC  

now whats also cool, is each officer, depending on their region, will have a far more dyanic way to know who is in their region, etc with the programs we've built

2017-09-21 01:52:21 UTC  

Excellent, looking forward to seeing the new setup,

2017-09-21 01:52:25 UTC  

this will dramatically improve contact and organizing

2017-09-21 01:52:32 UTC  

I'm excited lol

2017-09-21 01:52:36 UTC  

Good, we really need more of both

2017-09-21 01:52:58 UTC  

And i think, put us infrastructure wise, above all other groups. Our issue has been constantly having corporate software etc shut down, which then takes work to transfer data, back it up, and then we get shoah'd

2017-09-21 01:53:02 UTC  

now, we have our own stuff

2017-09-21 01:53:09 UTC  

which is totally immune

2017-09-21 01:53:21 UTC  

and everyone is already set up on the dark web, even if they pulled our website

2017-09-21 01:53:33 UTC  

so at no point will we lose contact with one another, just gotta make sure everyone has Tor

2017-09-21 01:53:34 UTC  

Hell yeah!

2017-09-21 01:54:30 UTC  

That's a huge hurdle our entire movement has been struggling with

2017-09-21 01:54:57 UTC  

but if we have all our infrastructure immune to shutdowns or threats, it puts us in a great position

2017-09-21 01:56:38 UTC  

I agree completely, especially with everything going on. Now there's not really a chance of moving a lot of ground and we can finally get on to addressing a lot of the interest in people wanting to join or support us I hope. As well as just the ease of having decent contact with each other

2017-09-21 01:58:39 UTC  

@MatthewHeimbach What's the best way to join currently?

2017-09-21 01:59:42 UTC  

Fash Emporium is our official Party shop, which will also handle dues

2017-09-21 01:59:56 UTC  

due to the integrated nature of our new system, all the pieces come together

2017-09-21 02:00:17 UTC  

people can also sign up as supporters, which is free, to get on the email list and get networked

2017-09-21 02:00:28 UTC  

We want people involved and engaged, money, while important, is secondary
