As a foundation customer & a business owner I need to know when your IT department is going to UNBLOCK your international customers like me from accessing our own accounts & our funds
You haven't tweeted in days & I still can't access my accounts a WEEK later
That means:
1. I can't access account balances 2. I can't transfer money between accounts 3. I can't pay staff 4. I can't make international money transfers
And I have ZERO word from you on when this will be fixed. Not good enough.
@KiwibankNZ persistently claim to customers that service is "intermittent". This is demonstrably false. Service is down 24/7. Their own website (per screenshot at the top of this thread) proves it's because KiwiBank IT staff have configured CloudFlare to block international TLD's
Yet they will not admit that this is what they have done, even as their own website tells everyone that it is what they have done.
I demand to know when the restrictions on international customers will be lifted and when we will again have access to manage our own accounts.

Full thread below detailing all the news, updates, progress & more of our incredible next generation social media development project!
Follow along with me and please share to help spread the news that it's out :) Video link at end of thread
Thanks to the generous support of our community, Panquake now employs 9 full time staff! We've regained all the ground we lost from PayPal censoring us & withholding our funds, & we've raised another $4,551 on top of that, picking up 127 new donors & 113 new @pan_quake followers
We've had another HUGE month of development progress, designing the 8 microservices which will compartmentalise (& make easily extensible for scaleability) the delivery of various types of Panquake data to our users. This is best practice & discussed in much greater detail in vid
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
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.

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
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!!!!
