We didn't hire a PR team or ad agency. PQ started w/ just volunteers then slowly hired devs, designers & other staff over time as our crowdfunding grew

We're ppl-powered & not corporate-powered which makes us responsive. So ask me anything, I'll respond!

The short answer to what Panquake does, is it's a short messaging system.

Gives you a few more characters than Twitter, but doesn't allow paid advertising, moderation is visible to the whole network, content is published on blockchain so you can prove it hasn't been messed with
We also designed 4 new pieces of functionality that don't exist on any other platform. These new technologies dramatically increase social reach

On Panquake your messages will go far further than on existing social media, be seen by more people. There's more user interaction too
The 4 new pieces of functionality are called

* Panquakes (fast curation & stacking of messages compiled into 1 shareable link)
* Thunderquakes (opt-in sharing of pre-scheduled messages)
* Cupquakes (one-click user promo messages)
* Lovequakes (blanket sharing of account content)
The best rundown of what Panquake is, why we started it, the ethos behind the company and how we're doing what we're doing is available here:

THREAD:

Want to become a PQ BETA user? Check this out!

Below you will find all the awesome details (and tons of eye candy) about our July Public Delivery Meeting tonight - and at the bottom of the thread, you'll find the event video link so you can check it out for yourself!!
July is our 6th public delivery event since we brought the idea of Panquake to the world back on Jan 17th of this year. We've never missed a monthly delivery (and never will!)

I guarantee you will be WOWED by the progress we've achieved since then as you follow this thread.

2/
As always we kicked off the event by reviewing our key campaign statistics. (Patience grasshoppers the cool BETA announcements come next!) PayPal withholding 6-7 weeks of donor money & us refunding it all screwed up our stats temporarily but we're recovering nicely despite it

Another nail in the coffin of the idiots claiming I was never a part of Occupy Auckland has surfaced.

In this Jan 14 2012 vid (in which much of my media team is interviewed) both myself & my son, as well as my car, repeatedly appear in the background

At 17:16 that's me walking across the grass behind Ben (Occupy Auckland media team co-ordinator & later Internet Party deputy leader) carrying my son on my hip, taking him to play with Lyn's daughter. Lyn is interviewed in the vid at 11:45.

Yes, THIS Lyn:
The vid at the top of this thread is from the day my media team established Occupy Albert Park, the 4th occupation site of Occupy Auckland

ANYONE who was a part of Occupy Auckland not only knows who I was, but that I & my team were an integral part of establishing the new occs.

I'd like to clarify a few things re the @PayPal censorship of @pan_quake

1. PayPal didn't facilitate refunds. Our staff managed to do it ourselves.
2. PayPal charged fees on all the money they withheld from us
3. PayPal also charged fees on some refunds

This left us short-changed and has resulted in us having to make arrangements to top-up refunds of donors with other funds

So @PayPal didn't just withhold all our donor money from us for 6+ weeks, they also pocketed a bunch of it while leaving some donors & thus us out of pocket
If you are one of the affected donors (anyone who donated to gogetfunding.com/panquake and paid your donation via paypal from May 13th til we cut off PP) & you got refunded less than you donated cos of @PayPal double-dipping pls email support@talkliberation.com & we'll top you up

Dear New Zealanders:

As the news hits today that NZ spies have been spying on you through the Auckland Transport camera network for years, kindly remember which Kiwi living in exile in Russia was warning you about this all along. And while I was still in NZ!

& it was crickets.
Here is me trying to tell Duncan Garner, one of the most famous NZ media figures about it... in 2013!!!!

THREAD: @pan_quake's 5th Public Delivery Event just wrapped filming and will be posted online soon. Featured some huge announcements on all that's been done in the last month & what's to come this week!

Read through the below for a spoiler with a TL;DR of all the details!

1/
Thanks to YOU all our key campaign metrics are UP UP UP this month, despite PayPal having effectively seized (without saying so) 40% of our total income since May 13th

No wonder the powers that be feel threatened - this campaign is consistently GROWING!

2/
Because making good on our promises in our delivery meetings is so important to us, we revisit the previous month's announcements then present the new month's progress. Last month we said coding would begin June 5th. It did & now MAJOR parts of our build are underway!

It's not lone wolf infiltrators operating. There are teams of them, orchestrating, working together to pick people off & use them as cover.

They encircle & influence their "useful idiot", then get the useful idiot to front the attacks, creating deniability for themselves... 1/2
..so that the useful idiot draws the return fire, leaving an appearance of friend fighting friend, which the agencies consider a win-win.

But scratch beneath the surface & there the infiltrators are, constantly shit stirring & breaking solidarity & wrecking relationships & lives
I want to be clear that I do not believe there is presently any infiltration of Panquake. Our team is solid, old hands. That's why Panquake has been attacked so much. If they were controlling it, the smears would stop. But they aren't, so they denigrate us til they can get inside
