Paid in USDC, Living in Indonesia: How I Use Raenest to Receive, Hold and Spend Stablecoins

I work in web3 from Indonesia, and a growing share of my work — bounties, contests, research and security gigs — pays in USDC on Solana. Getting paid was never the hard part. A client or a platform sends stablecoins to my wallet, and they arrive in seconds. The hard part starts after the money lands. A wallet full of USDC is not the same thing as money I can use. I still need dollars I can hold…

In the article "Paid in USDC, Living in Indonesia: How I Use Raenest to Receive, Hold and Spend Stablecoins," the author describes their experience of receiving payments in stablecoins while living in Indonesia and how they utilize Raenest to manage these funds. The platform allows users to receive, hold, convert, spend, and transfer USDC and USDT stablecoins.

Setting up a USDC and USDT wallet within Raenest takes less than a minute. To receive payments, users share their wallet address with the sender, specifying the network being used. Currently, supported networks include Ethereum, Tron, Binance, Polygon, and Solana. Once received, stablecoins remain in their original form until the user decides how to utilize them.

The Stablecoin Vault within Raenest allows users to earn variable returns, up to 7% APY, on eligible balances. However, the actual rate is variable and subject to market conditions, so users should be comfortable with the inherent risk. Funds can then be spent using virtual or physical Visa cards, which can be used anywhere Visa is accepted.

Converting stablecoins to other currencies or withdrawing them to an external wallet is also simple, with fees displayed prior to confirming the transfer. Raenest offers a streamlined solution for freelancers and remote workers who receive payments in various currencies, including stablecoins, allowing them to manage their funds efficiently in one place.

GitHub Actions vs Argo Workflows: which one runs what

GitHub Actions vs Argo Workflows is usually a false choice, because the two are not sold the same unit of work: Actions runs a workflow file in response to a git event, and Argo Workflows reconciles a…
