My bad. I guess it's only allowed if you used other coupons before you applied the 100.
Well, DO just locked my account and won't be unlocking it. Retards.
Why lol ?
YEY 100$ credits xD.
Just redeemed my coupon. Everything went flawless
Abuse according to them. Been running Observium for some time now on a Droplet, that doesn't seem to be abusive for me..
That kinda sucks. But why abuse ? I mean it's just Observium. I can't imagine that it will use 100% of the cpu 24/7. lol.
Awesome, they are quick about it too...took less than 5 minutes for me to be approved!
Anyone got their account approved with student ID?
how long will it take to manual verify documents
Nope. Dint receive an email from github yet.
me also not
I did, took them 4 days to give me discount. (Requested at 30 Aug, discount was given at 2 Sep).
I got instant activation.
I got it too, feeling excited XD
I got activated
what is the best Do droplet which i can run for 24x7 on my $100 credit
I put down that I was staff (because I am), and it gave me a 15% discount for github... I dont think i'm able to get anything else.
I really wonder how Digital Ocean is able to give so much free credit. Are they even making profit? Anyways, I'm from the Netherlands and got my pack instantly so I guess someone from my school activated it before and the domain was already verified.
There's something called VC investment.
He's right, they invest it, in hope to get more customers paying for their services when the credits run out. Without talking that it is a strict group of persons (students) is not for everybody.
lighting investor money on fire, then working on securing another round, rinse and repeat
Great, all set. Only thing I have to do now is thinking about what to do with it
Anyone use Bitnami? If we deployed a server other than AWS free tier (medium, large), do we have to pay AWS bills too?
@Coffee
https://bitnami.com/cloud/pricing
LOL i love credit http://prntscr.com/4uc4f3
i grabbed the domain
robinprojects.me
Well that's strange, I wonder if they whitelist certain domains. Weird none the less.
well i was verified by sending ID along with my school email
99026292 @ mydavinci (dot) nl
Github not recognizing my @californiacolleges.edu addres
or am i doing something wrong..
Most likely they recognized you wanted to scam them
They almost certainly do - they picked up on my Uni email and when I selected it, it said underneath which Uni I go to.
Ah, well that explains that. I sent in a copy of my ID, so hopefully they'll accept that
