  Found a bug in my store today. A "30% off your first year" code was taking 30% off every year, forever. Claude found 2 other codes had the same problem. Gave Claude read access to my WP install over SSH plus temporary Stripe and PayPal keys. It found all affected subscriptions across both processors, cross-checked what the gateways were actually billing against what my database thought, and fixed each one. $1,782/year recovered. About 30 minutes once I knew something was wrong. Doing that by hand across two payment processors would have eaten my week.

  HOW TO CREATE AND SELL AN EBOOK IN NIGERIA You do not need to be a professional writer to create an ebook. You just need to know something useful that other people want to learn. Here is the full process from idea to income: - Step 1: Pick a topic that solves a specific problem: The more specific your topic, the better it sells. "How to Register a Business Name with CAC in 2026" will outsell "How to Start a Business in Nigeria" every time. Think about what people ask you frequently, what you know well, or what you spent time learning that others would pay to skip. - Step 2: Write it: Use Microsoft Word or Google Docs. Write in simple, clear language. It does not need to be long. A 20 to 50 page ebook that solves one specific problem is more valuable than a 200 page ebook that rambles. Write like you are explaining to a friend. - Step 3: Design the cover: Go to Canva (canva. com) and search for ebook cover templates. Pick one, add your title and name, and download it. Free and takes less than 10 minutes. - Step 4: Convert to PDF: Once your ebook is ready in Word or Google Docs, export it as a PDF. That is the format you will sell. Go to File, then Download, then PDF Document. - Step 5: Upload and sell on Selar Go to selar. co and create a free seller account. Click Add Product, choose Digital Product, upload your PDF, write a clear description, set your price in naira or dollars, and publish. Selar handles payment collection and delivers the ebook automatically to your buyer. Payouts land in your Nigerian bank account the next business day for naira sales. You can also sell on Gumroad (gumroad. com) which takes a flat 10 percent per sale and pays via PayPal. Most Nigerian sellers access their Gumroad earnings through Payoneer. - Step 6: Promote it Share your Selar link on your WhatsApp status, X, Instagram, and any group you belong to. Your first sale almost always comes from people who already know and trust you. Offer a launch discount to create urgency and ask a few people to share your link as affiliates. Selar has a built-in affiliate feature you can activate for free. You do not need a large following. Nigerian creators with 500 engaged WhatsApp contacts consistently earn more than those with 50,000 cold social media followers. Create once. Sell forever. Start today. Above all, love God.

  @DwinTheStoic I have always known Uber to be a terrible seevice, terrible consumer app, terrible company. They are no different from likes of PayPal. Uber is terrible normally and I say this as someone who have patronised them in major countries.

  @stphnmaher It’s gonna be a little more involved than you think- If Canada’s goal is true technological independence from the United States, a Canadian sovereign cloud is only the first piece of an enormous puzzle: Canada would have to replace or become independent of Amazon/AWS, Microsoft, Google and Oracle for cloud; NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Marvell, Micron, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices and GlobalFoundries for processors, AI accelerators, memory, networking, communications and other semiconductors; Dell, HPE, Supermicro, IBM, Western Digital and Seagate for servers, storage and enterprise hardware; Cisco, Arista, Juniper/HPE, F5 and Ciena for networking and communications infrastructure; Microsoft, Apple, Google, Adobe, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Oracle, Workday, Intuit and Broadcom/VMware for operating systems, productivity, mobile platforms, databases, CRM, ERP, virtualization and enterprise applications; Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, Fortinet, Zscaler, Okta, Cloudflare, Cisco and Microsoft for cybersecurity, identity and internet protection; OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Microsoft and NVIDIA for frontier AI models, development platforms and AI infrastructure; GitHub/Microsoft, IBM/Red Hat, Docker, Datadog, Snowflake, MongoDB, Confluent, Elastic and HashiCorp/IBM for software development, containers, databases, data management and infrastructure automation; Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Stripe, Apple and Google for major payment and digital-wallet infrastructure; Apple, Google and Qualcomm for smartphones and mobile ecosystems; Akamai and Cloudflare for content delivery and internet infrastructure; and, critically, Cadence and Synopsys for semiconductor-design software plus Applied Materials, Lam Research and KLA for the equipment needed to manufacture advanced chips. Even that doesn’t completely solve the problem, because Canadian, European, Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean products frequently incorporate American chips, software, patents, design tools or manufacturing equipment somewhere in their supply chains.

  Here's another neat trick I do every year. If you have paypal, you can break down the entire cost into 4 payments. Meaning you pay 25% percent now while PayPal pays the merchant the entire amount and then you can make payments every 2 weeks. Doooo iiiittttt!!

  @linuxuser1996 And if you can't live without it that Paypal isn't able anymore to get money out of you ,you still can use it as a PWA without problems. The ppl who want everything, cloud, KI auto-features, face recognition etc. , despite GOS handling most should maybe have a stock as 2. phone

  @linuxuser1996 Just to verify that this issue still exists. I intentionally logged out of PayPal while my password manager was still enabled. I closed and then reopened it. Then it began crashing. Disabling the password manager (with protection compatibility still enabled) temporarily fixed it

  @Washen_D A business PayPal is how I see a lot of people do it. If you're willing to go through the trouble of getting an artist code, you can try getting a VGen code as well to manage requests better.

  Former CEO of PayPal + Inuit Bill Harris on Moneywise today. He broke down his portfolio and expenses (and what it was like working w/ Elon + thiel. - Net worth: ~$100m. Divorce cut it roughly in half - ~$50m in operating companies he's starting, ~$25m diversified securities, ~$25m bonds. No PE/hedge/alts - "absurd fees" - PayPal/eBay exit: personally "more than 20 million, less than 50" - Personal Capital: sold to Empower for $825m with $23b AUM; his take was north of $100m post-tax - New venture: ~$10m of his own money in - Total annual burn: ~$70-80k all in, property tax included ("well less than a hundred thousand bucks") - No mortgage (cottage paid off), no car, bikes to work - Owned a ton of stuff (houses, cars, planes). Sold it all because it took too much time to maintain.

  Kaz @nejatian on the biggest lesson he learned from Shopify CEO @tobi Lütke: There's only 3 rules you learn in business school: 1. Money is good 2. More money is better 3. Money now is better than money later "What ends up happening is: people very frequently sell future growth at a massive discount for today's stock price." "The result of that is PayPal. Over and over that company made the wrong decisions because they cared more about today than 10 years from now." "And guess what—it is now 10 years from now and the company’s in deep trouble." "Tobi had this wonderful mentality of applying essentially a zero discount rate to future growth." "He was like, 'Growth tomorrow or growth today, I’m indifferent. I will never sacrifice growth tomorrow for growth today.'" "What ends up happening is, because human beings always misunderstand compounding, you end up getting way higher growth later on." "It’s a very hard thing to do in practice because you have to look at a chart and say, 'Nah, I’ll take some of it later.' That’s very hard." "There are 2 SaaS companies that stand differently from the rest: Palantir and Shopify." "I think it’s partially because they do things that are just so different than every other company."

  Does she even understand what PayPal does? What restructuring is. Who are the clients? Why is their business down? Or is it a requirement that you have to be completely illogical to be a Modi and BJP basher.

  @JKhrushche10538 @linuxuser1996 We already provided a clear solution for the bug recently introduced by PayPal above. If you don't tell us what isn't working then there's no way for us to directly help with it. We can only guess what you're trying to do and what's not set up properly to cause an issue.

  Look at the timeline and something clicks. May 2025, Coinbase drops x402 so agents can pay per request. September 2025, Google launches AP2 with over 60 partners including Mastercard and PayPal. January 2026, ERC-8004 hits Ethereum mainnet, almost 39,000 agents register in 90 days. May 2026, @Concordium’s Agent Registry goes live. June 2026, Proof introduces x401 to handle identity proof. That's five major pieces of agent infrastructure landing across just over a year, and the gaps between them keep shrinking. Payment, identity proof, runtime management, persistent registry, verified human anchor, each one built by a different team without waiting for the others to finish first. Nobody planned one unified system. It's assembling itself in public, piece by piece, weeks apart instead of years apart. That pace alone tells you something about how seriously the industry is taking this problem right now.
