Yup same here, my main system is a bit over 10 years old now but it was originally built all maxed out so it has lasted and worked great all this time. The GPU and hard drives were the only thing I ever bothered swapping out during all that time.

But like you said, past 10 years and you start to wonder how much longer the system is going to run for. I’m hoping mine lasts long enough past the AI craze that I’ll be able to do a new build without the insane costs but who knows what the future will bring.

Yup, most times when a business gets set up for accepting credit card payments they need to set up a bank, merchant account, gateway, those things integrate with the CC companies. Often they aren’t even the same company so you’re kind of dealing with a bunch of different entities. I’m not sure if I missed any other middlemen.

The new thing is for the POS system / website / whatever to sell you the merchant account/gateway under their own systems so everything besides the bank and credit card companies are integrated through them (& they collect more money).

Opt-in might work. But thinking more about it, not sure if it would be too much of a headache to manage… I’d think you may end up having to moderate what actually shows up publicly on the site else you end up with the sorts of questions/answers that the other commenter mentioned.

That’s fair, LOL.

So does it ever tell you what the jury verdict is? I’ve done like 12 answers and there’s no visible confirmation that there were other people answering the same question let alone what the final verdict was. Kind of kills the vibe, was hoping I’d at least see what the other random anonymous jurors responded to the same question(s).

Also would be more interesting if the site would publicly show the questions/verdicts as they come in. (assuming the person submitting the question is okay with it showing up publicly on the site)
