  @thinkmoney I do not know what you guys have done, but the recent system update, has broken my ability to add money to any service such as PayPal or pay my credit card. Both trying to use my debit card. This is extenely upsetting because it basically means that I will need to find a different way to add money to these accounts. The problem stems from payment authorisation. Before, it used to show the authorise notification in the Thinkmoney app. It never gets this far now because the Mastercard ID authorisation never completes. Can you please tell me why this system is now broken, and when you plan to resolve it?

  @PUFFYBRAINn @avipat_ Kled is real: an iOS app that pays users to upload personal photos/videos for AI training data (connects to AI companies, payouts via PayPal/Venmo/Solana). Founder avipat_ posted the Nigeria removal due to ~95% fraud (black screens, duplicates, AI fakes, photoshopped passports like the attached image). Recent posts and app store updates confirm this. Not a lie—high fraud forced the temporary IP ban while they fix detection. Useful for legit users sharing real daily life content.

  @askpaypal I can't log in. App approval is forced and SMS codes expire immediately. I can't access my account. I'm very disappointed that PayPal has disabled contact or assistance without logging into my account. I'm having trouble logging in due to 2-step verification.

  $PYPL This is ultimately why I sold PayPal It wasn’t the valuation it’s because I lost faith in the *** after they axed Alex Chriss Diego Scotti and Michelle Gill were probably the highest achieving execs during Alex’s leadership Diego did amazing things with Venmo and Michelle managed to inflect SMBs back to growth I do not think it’s coincidental that they have departed As time goes on it seems more and more likely PayPal is going to be broken up and sold for parts It will probably work out ok for shareholders but it’s a painful reminder of what PayPal could have been if it was managed correctly and not neglected to the point of deterioration under Schulman I don’t think it would have mattered who the CEO was who took over in 2023, it was destined to fail. Nobody knew the full extent of the damage under the hood I also suspect there is an entrenched corporate culture there which is obstructive towards innovation and meaningful change A real shame

The problem stems from payment authorisation. Before, it used to show the authorise notification in the Thinkmoney app. It never gets this far now because the Mastercard ID authorisation never completes. I phoned your support line and they said that there is no record on my account of any authorisation. So the problem stems from the service trying to authenticate with Mastercard. Can you please tell me why this system is now broken, and when you plan to resolve it?

  @GregAbbott_TX @AmyMek Thank you, please also look into the 12 acre Islamist “Excellence Academy” being built in McKinney. They were illegally fundraising for construction through PayPal on their website they took down, which means foreign and non-citizen money is likely paying for the project.

  Use case: $ZEROTHINK is an access key for a live AI product. Utility: holders can unlock ZeroThink Pro without a PayPal subscription while eligible. Anti-abuse: the server rechecks live wallet balance and market value. No custody: users sign a message. ZeroThink never asks for seed phrases or moves coins.

  @PayPal @PayPalUK have really gone down the drain. How are they still a company when Revolut and Wise exist? Just spend 30 minutes trying to get a transaction mislabelled as goods and services reversed (which incurred a very nice 5.5% fee for PayPal) and apparently it’s impossible. Their support lines don’t function (can’t find my account and doesn’t let me put in the “quick code” from their own support page, and I’m only calling because their online form literally does not let me report this transaction without an error) and their employees have no agency so I have no idea what the fees are for. Will gladly use Revolut and Wise for subsequent transactions

  @ElijahFree66 @AntiquarianMuse I don’t have Venmo or PayPal, and like I told you before the no crypto and gift cards is because it cuts down on the amount of scammers who message me.

  @lzsthw Me: "Hey Firefox, open a private window" Firefox: "Ok, restoring your last closed window which is somehow always a PayPal login window. Did you yet again use the Chrome key combo (ctrl-shift-n) instead of the weird Firefox one (ctrl-shift-p)" Me: "Yes."

  Every payment protocol just got a passport office. Kite launched mainnet + Agent Passport — $35M from PayPal Ventures & General Catalyst, unifies x402/AP2/MPP/MCP under one identity layer, 90+ services, PayPal & Shopify pilots live. Stripe shipped Link wallet for AI agents — OAuth-secured spend requests, virtual cards per agent via Issuing for Agents, stablecoins "coming soon." Mac Minis sold out because of always-on AI agents. Alberta's $195B fund (AIMCo) bought $219M Strategy (MSTR) — first BTC allocation ever. National Bank of Canada holds $273M. Canadian institutions arriving through equity proxies while agents get their own wallets. AllUnity EURAU euro stablecoin → Solana. MiCA-compliant. DWS + Flow Traders + Galaxy. Euro stablecoin market doubled since early 2025. Payment protocols shipped for 6 months (x402 100M+ txns, MPP $5B+). Now the identity layer is consolidating them into one passport. The agent infrastructure stack is completing itself — from the top down. Consensus 2026 starts Monday in Miami. The conversation has already moved past "should agents have wallets" to "which passport do they carry." #AIAgents #Web3 #Stablecoin
