Open core, not open source, only for the Community edition, wait till you notice that you will need enterprise license since most powerfull features/addons are enterprise only and you end up paying more money for "open source" ERP than normal ERP


> you end up paying more money for "open source" ERP than normal ERP

That's not what I see on the market. Even the paying version of Odoo is way more affordable than traditional ERP:

- licenses are 5x lower than competition: https://www.odoo.com/pricing (avg 25€/user/month vs 180€ for Netsuite - Odoo has a "no-extra" / transparent pricing policy)

- On implementation service fees, Odoo is usually from 30% to 75% cheaper: more capabilities and easier to implement or customize.

As a result of capabilities + affordable, Odoo became the most used ERP in the world: 16m users (incl free ones), 200k+ clients. (Netsuite is 43k clients, Dynamics BC is 40k clients)

> licenses are 5x lower than competition

The competition licenses include support (like that netsuite €180 license). Odoo doesn't.

When you factor in finding another company to provide support them Odoo becomes easily equal in cost to other options. Or you have to do it yourself which is also very expensive (in time rather than money).

Also for some weird reason the Odoo forum is incredibly locked down. After a year of using it, I hadn't even earned enough trust to comment, let alone ask a question.


The Odoo support is free, you can test it here https://odoo.com/help


> That's not what I see on the market. Even the paying version of Odoo is way more affordable than traditional ERP:

The system looks well organized and clearly built by people with knowledge of the domain(s), but traditional ERP has significantly more depth in functionality, I don't think that comparison makes sense at this point in time.

Oh hey, it's my favorite pet peeve. When flagging a potential conflict of interest, the word is "Disclosure". "Disclaimer" means "I'm just a random guy who cannot assume responsibility for what they're saying", like in IANAL.


It’s an awesome start to a stack, you’re right though a typical seat based install runs average enterprises 25+k usd per year. I wish that someone would just make open oodo compatible plugins, because the big fundamental win is a unified data model built on open technologies.


It is at least "source available". Once you pay for an enterprise subscription (or just search around) you get the source.


Yes, you get access to the github repo if you pay Odoo Enterprise


Thank you, I Will fill the form and hope something happens

Among the crazy things that Kontigo did, was that they allowed Venezuelans to open an US bank account, without any check or anything, you just had to put random "passport number" on a field (no kyc or anything) and they would issue you a chase checkings account number.

heres the ig advertising for that service: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DMljYtUsrDI/

anyways, they got shut down by chase few days ago:

https://www.pymnts.com/cryptocurrency/2025/jpmorgan-chase-fr...



Imagine telling venezuelans living in venezuela, to go educate themselves about venezuela

Sire thing your links will be right and all my years suffering here are BS


you will be surprised, but it's all about corruption oportunities.

In venezuela right now, there's a YC startup (2023), "Kontigo" [1], who's part of it, they went all in with this "stablecoin" bullsh*t and manage to get a license to operate in US (stripe) and with Venezuelans users with absolutely NO KYC, fully connected and "licensed" by the venezuelan "National Superintendence of Cryptoassets and Related Activities" a.k.a SUNACRIP

Take note that this SUNACRIP had closed operations since 2020 when a huge corruption scandal hit the govt, they used crypto to run corruption operations and money laundering [2][3][4] and somehow SUNACRIP, an organization that is not even working or functioning, this january licensed "Kontigo" to operated in the country, the founders themselves made a bragging video on instagram about "noone expecting it", wich is hillarious, you can find the video at https://www.instagram.com/p/DFd8ouoNKuI/

Anyways, the corrupted govt, approved a YC startup to exchange instantly USDC to VEF using venezuelans banks APIs and USA banking system (plaid, stripe, etc), without any KYC, without any sanctions screening, nothing, the reason for this approval is pretty simple, they doing the money laundering process super easy for them lol, they helping venezuelan corrupts officials bypass sanctions and easy money laundering.

I'm absolutely baffled at the situation and wondering how the fuck this happened, I myself know lower/mid size venezuelan corrupt officials using Kontigo to instantly wash money into USDC, and all of this is backed by YC itself.

And inbefore any user comes here telling me that "venezuela is sanctioned" and whatever other random thing, this company absolutely doesnt help venezuelans, it only helps corruption and launder money from corruption and drugs

how you guys interpretate all this price swings with barely no trade volumen increase?

i think the whole crypto narrative it's slowly dying, okay its ATH now, but yeah, we still got this huge elephant in the room called tether and well u know


I don't know. What's going to happen with Tether?


I expect they will continue to get obscenely wealthy off interest payments on their US Treasuries; Others have forecasted for many years that they will collapse to zero.

https://www.investopedia.com/stablecoin-issuer-tether-report...


Tether has huge trust issues surrounding it, and might be little more than one of the greatest pieces of financial engineering in history.

The best place to learn about this is Protos.


noone knows, but the real question is why any govt hasnt done any significative investigation or attack on tether? the only explanation i see (from the US pov) is that they actually collaborating in deeper investigations so they let it coexist, otherwise it makes no sense how legitimated it is knowing that it's pure fake money and it's not backed up at all

bitcoin wont be real till tether dissapears


We know that Tether is sharing information with law enforcement in the US. Maybe intelligence also.



It's backed on air. Not even hot air.


So I should not believe attestations by third parties because they are all lies then? https://tether.to/en/transparency/?tab=reports

I guess that would be not much different than Moody's lying about debt ratings prior to 2008.


"Crypto is dead, that's why it's more valuable than ever"


Nominal price and value are not the same thing


For an asset with no intrinsic value, it is. Just like the nominal price of USD and its value are the same thing.


That's because you express both the price and the value of USD in USD

That isn't the same as the price of BTC in USD


You can express USD in BTC, BTC in BTC, etc. It's a bit arbitrary.


Everyone is a fool but you I’m sure


I didn't say that. I merely pointed out what I perceive to be an issue with your use of "valuable"

fun fact, Maduro's announcement of X blocking, was made on X

https://x.com/NicolasMaduro/status/1821711329536663936


cause they did not release any official statement, they only read those numbers on national TV and 8 hours later they made maduro sign the papers as a winners.

now, more than 72 hours after elections, we still dont know the results and there is not a single place to check the acts or the numbers by pooling center.

it was all fraud.


Let me present to you the official site with the results of the actual results of the presidential elections that were held on July 28, 2024. This site serves as proof of the fraud that occurred in the election.

These elections determined whether Maduro or Edmundo Gonzalez would be president of the country.

The official government results were presented by the National Electoral Council A.k.a. (CNE) on television during the night of July 28 and have not been published elsewhere.

The results announced were as follows:

Nicolas Maduro with 5,150,092 votes for a 51.20 %.

Edmundo González with 4,445,978 for a 44.20 %.

Others with a total of 462,704 for a 4,60 %.

Note that the decimals of these results add up perfectly, as if they had been calculated with excel. as explained on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41123155

The site https://resultadosconvzla.com/ allows you to view the results of 24,576 (81.85%) of the 30,026 polling stations available and has been put together in a collective effort to avoid fraud.

The actual results, so far are:

Edmundo Gonzalez 7,173,152 votes for a 67%.

Nicolás Maduro 3,250,424 votes for a 30%.

Others 251,446 votes with a 2%


cool read but this article misses pretty much the biggest factor in the whole history and is that no matter how much you think about this "problem", it will always be defeated by the players will to win or take advantage

lets remember after all, games and virtuals worlds, are that, games and virtuals worlds, so players have pretty much nothing to lose in trying to exploit whatever system you put in place

so if you are a gamemaster/game dev/etc, noone cares how much time or resources you invest in thinking how to solve the land crisis or housing crisis, you wont solve it and at the end if you put the most complex system or the most punisheable on you will most likely end up with your player base actually quitting or not interested in playing your game or following your rules.

so its actually just about to just accepting that there will be a land crisis or housing crisis and that you will just have to look the other way and let it be, cause at the end you might just end up killing your own game by going with the full try hard way.

theres actually silly solutions that have been proven to be good, like for example, adding new areas with the updates thus rendering the old areas useless and having people repeat the cycle of trying to be the new ones in those areas

or the favourite of all the game publishers, just tax with ingame credits that can only be purchased with $$$, so everyone is happy haha

btw, most of games end up failing trying to solve this land crisis or housing crisis cause while the focus so much on that, they have bigger problems that affect direct on it like currency inflation, RMT, gold farming and even more deep problems like cheating/botting


club penguin not on this list, RIP
