  Steven ios developer (@Historyshorts24) reported 2 minutes ago

  7-Day App Store Ship Challenge Prize pot: $300 | 10 app builders | 1 clear winner Core Concept 10 independent app builders compete head-to-head. The single goal: build + ship a real, original iOS app that goes live on the Apple App Store within exactly 7 days. Only one person can win the entire $300 pot. No points system, no fancy features required — pure speed-to-live-app wins. Exact Winning Condition (so only one person wins) Build any original simple app (todo list, habit tracker, tip calculator, unit converter, etc. — nothing complex). Submit it to App Store Connect. Get it approved and publicly live on the App Store. Be the first participant to post public proof in the group chat/Discord:Live App Store link Screenshot of the app page showing “Available on the App Store” Timestamp of approval email from Apple First verified live app = automatic winner of the full $300. If two people go live on the same day, the earlier approval timestamp wins. If somehow nobody succeeds in 7 days → pot rolls over or is split equally (your choice). 7-Day Timeline Day 0 (kickoff): Everyone pays entry + gets Apple Developer account ready ($99/year required). Days 1–5: Build + test + prepare screenshots, privacy policy, description. Day 6: Latest possible submission deadline (gives Apple ~24–48 h review window). Day 7 (midnight UTC): Competition ends. First verified live app wins. Entry & Pot Rules Exactly 10 spots. Each person puts in $30 → $300 pot. Money collected upfront (PayPal/Wise/crypto) into a shared escrow or trusted organizer account. No refunds after Day 0. Money Payout Terms (clear & simple) Winner must provide: Live App Store link Apple approval email screenshot Short screen recording of the app opening from the App Store Once verified by the group (or 2 neutral judges): Full $300 is sent within 24 hours via the same method the winner prefers (PayPal, Wise, bank, USDC, etc.). Organizer takes $0 cut. If the winner used a no-code tool or template, it still counts as long as the app is original and live under their account. Suggested Simple Apps That Can Actually Ship in 7 Days Daily water tracker Random quote / affirmation generator Tip & bill splitter Simple habit streak counter Unit converter (weight, length, temperature) Use SwiftUI + Xcode (fastest for pure iOS) or Flutter if you already know it. Avoid anything that needs backend, login, or heavy graphics. Extra Protection Rules App must be original (no copy-paste of existing public apps). Must use your own Apple Developer account. No paid marketing or fake reviews during the 7 days.

They’re not even in the situation, maybe look down the ******* rabbit hole how long they’ve been doing this are they paying money to certain people on their PayPal Venmo that money certain players points 00 God I might be dead tomorrow, but there’s gonna literally go there and just go lie betting money you can’t do you can’t ******* do but the honey hole is going down. You guys are ******. Heroes is not in the Hall of Fame. That’s bullshit. Pete Rose should be in Hall of Fame. The more you did in 2030 years ******* bullshit. Have to sit here 50 years and look at this bullshit. I’m over 50 years old looking at this bullshit.

  Your donations can be sitting in your account and still not be your money. The moment a creator needs a payment platform to approve their identity, business status, or withdrawal before they can touch what supporters already sent, the problem is bigger than PayPal. That’s custody risk. Creators are taught to obsess over discovery and conversion. But payout rails can choke the business just as fast. You can earn the money. The platform can still hold the keys. I keep coming back to the same point: if you need permission to access your own revenue, you don’t own the business. Owned audience matters. Owned distribution matters. But owned payout rails are part of the same fight. Otherwise “getting paid” is just another feature someone else can turn off.

  @AirbnbHelp urgent safety/billing issue. Reservation HM888ACCSH checks in tomorrow, Aug 3 at 3 PM. System glitched and billed wrong account. PayPal dispute PP-R-HWC-639909781 is open. Phone agents have repeatedly hung up on me and dropped me into dead mailboxes. I need a corporate case manager to take over this file and issue a payment update link immediately before I am denied service at the hotel.

  What specifically should they do to offset the issue. Have less power? Donate to some paypal? This kind of "speak up" wishwash has never solved anything in decades, and it seems nobody has real solutions to privilege other than morally judging others.

  Initially, she sent me the painting and agreed to pay a deposit. She then transferred 100% of the money even though I had only asked for 50%.She suggested using PayPal, but I didn't have it and only had Wise. She agreed, but then said Wise was having problems.

  SITUATION EXPLAINED: Aschenbrenner's letter to investors: full responsibility, no more leverage, staying in public equities. • The letter went out last night, he takes "full responsibility," and says the fund will no longer borrow from banks to magnify its bets • It will keep operating in public equities, not converting into a private fund as people had speculated • He compared the dynamics to a bank run, and partly blamed short sellers targeting the fund's positions • New from the FT: when Intel reported strong earnings and its stock unexpectedly fell, the aggressive seller was reportedly Aschenbrenner, covering losses on Bloom Energy and SanDisk • By Wednesday he had stopped taking investor calls, and was talking to Jane Street, Millennium, and Citadel instead • He reached a deal Wednesday night to sell $3.5 billion of his Anthropic stake to a consortium led by Greenoaks and Sequoia, then backed out Thursday morning • Greenoaks and Sequoia both led Anthropic's $65 billion Series H at a $900 billion valuation, a round Situational Awareness itself invested in • Despite all of it, the fund is still up 80% on the year, and 1,551% since founding less than two years ago • Plenty of big names have blown up worse and recovered: Paul Tudor Jones nearly quit after cotton losses, Bill Ackman wound down his first fund in 2002, Musk was ousted from PayPal before Tesla and SpaceX nearly went bankrupt @theojaffee: "People are getting way too negative about Situational Awareness now. Situational Awareness is fine. Leopold Aschenbrenner is fine. If it literally went to zero, he's still a generational talent and he would do very well regardless."

  i did a paid collab with this brand, when it was payment time them: "pls create a paypal invoice including estimated fees so our finance team can pay you" me: **creates invoice, adds $10 with notes 'this is for the fees but if seems too much pls tell me + what you think i should add as fees' them: didn't complain, "hey can you create a new invoice? it seems there's an error with the first one as it's not working" me: ** tries to create a new invoice, noticed first payment actually came through. decides to tell them "hello, the first payment came through, check your activity to confirm so you don't end up paying me double" + added a screenshot for more transparency apparently paypal only charged $3 for the fees which means there's an extra $7 them: "hey we noticed there's an extra $7 after charges, can we send you something to post for us since we paid you more than the agreed amount" idek what to say next.

  @druilla2ma Right… I refuse to link PayPal to anything stream related for me. They shut down accounts without any reason just because they thought you were suspicious or some bullshit. PayPal is literally so unprofessional and terrible.

  @iriolsw7 It's okayy, they DM-ed me too and it's legit. The admin at that time gave me a different paypal account-one that didn't belong to the ex head admin, so I think the other admin already took action sometime ago to minimize the issue

  @ArcticDago @Veteransforukr1 Are you paying from a PayPal "bank account"? I think the issue is the credit card (bank) I have that is tied to PayPal. PP's fees are fine.... I need to put money into a PP account and then send it, from what I'm seeing online. Otherwise bank charges me ridiculous fees.
