Twocents.money Addresses Account Linking Bug Hindering User Financial Displays

A software engineer associated with the nascent social networking platform twocents.money has publicly acknowledged a bug preventing some users from viewing their linked financial assets. The issue, which reportedly surfaced recently, is prompting the company to advise affected users to re-attempt linking their accounts.

"if you don't see your money on @twocentinc but you linked your account please try again," stated the engineer, identified as "terminally onλine εngineer," in a social media post. The engineer further noted, "just got a bug report like this," indicating the company is aware of the specific problem.

Twocents.money operates on a unique premise where a user's net worth serves as their primary identifier, replacing traditional usernames. The platform integrates with financial services like Plaid to link bank accounts, brokerage portfolios, and crypto wallets, aggregating a user's total net worth. This figure then fluctuates in real-time, forming the basis of their pseudo-anonymous social identity.

The platform, which raised a $3 million pre-seed round in June, aims for "radical transparency" by displaying users' financial standing alongside their posts. Founder and CEO Andi Duro previously told NYNext that twocents verifies user net worth through Plaid, a common fintech service. As of August, twocents had onboarded approximately 1,400 beta users, connecting over $150 million in assets.

Such account linking issues can be critical for a platform like twocents.money, where the core user experience revolves around the accurate display of financial data. While the company has not yet provided further details on the bug's root cause or a timeline for a permanent fix, the engineer's direct communication suggests an active effort to resolve the problem and restore full functionality for its user base.
