Imagine if South Africans could make money on real events that happen everyday ?🧐 Well, I’m building @VerdictZA ✅ - South Africa’s homegrown prediction markets for sports, politics, forex, weather, cultural events & more. If you’re tired of news headlines that manipulate stories and miss the mark… welcome to the future. Prediction markets turn what people actually believe into real money prices. And SA needs this right now. Thread 👇

@SizweDhlomo @MightiJamie Must have a got a stern directive

Shame, that prosecutor is getting fired today…

Couldn’t relate more ngl

a startup is a group chat with a bank account

@heygurisingh Man oh man, what a time

WhatsApp's API costs you per message. Someone open sourced one that costs nothing. Someone open sourced a WhatsApp API gateway that runs entirely on your own server. No vendor lock-in. No per-message fee. No hidden paywalls. It's called OpenWA. The thing that makes it different is the pluggable architecture. You swap the database, the storage, and the cache through config alone. Never touch a line of application code. → SQLite for zero-config, or PostgreSQL for production → Local storage, or S3/MinIO when you need to scale → Memory cache, or Redis when speed matters Flip a setting. The whole backend changes underneath you. Here's what you actually get: → Full REST API for text, media, reactions, and bulk sends → Multi-session support so you run multiple WhatsApp accounts on one instance → Real-time webhooks with HMAC signatures → Groups, Channels, and Labels all covered → A full React dashboard for sessions, webhooks, and API keys → API key auth, rate limiting, CIDR whitelisting, and audit logging built in The wildest part is the setup. One Docker command and the whole thing is live on your machine. Dashboard, API, and Swagger docs all running. Most people are still paying a middleman per message to do exactly this. 90 stars.

Credo Mutwa said South Africa will end up being ruled by Muslim people 😑

@juliandorey @LibertyLockPod Man.

"The Lex Fridman - Elon Musk 2027 AI Warning conversation was deleted..." An AI conversation involving Elon Musk and Lex Fridman left a lot of people unsettled… Because the deeper they went into the future of AI — the darker the implications started sounding. @LibertyLockPod

@TheNotoriousSKi What would you do instead ?

Such a waste of money. Very lazy & inefficient way of allocating rewards & attracting liquidity
