regent0x (@regent0x_) reported$1,200/mo from micro-saas built by a 4th grader someone told him he’s too young to code he showed his paypal and stopped the conversation the product: a bot that solves algorithm problems for college students and sends back explained solutions in under an hour the video shows a kid at his desk - codeforces on one monitor, VS code on the other, timer showing 25 seconds. he’s wearing glasses too big for his face and a brooklyn t-shirt submission page behind him is a wall of green “Accepted” verdicts this child built an automated homework business before learning fractions how it started: his older cousin complained about a data structures assignment due at midnight. the kid looked at it, said “that’s easy”, solved it in 10 minutes. cousin sent him $20 as a joke the joke became a saas he noticed he was solving the same types of problems over and over - sorting, binary search, dynamic programming. same patterns, different numbers. so he built a system the stack (his dad helped with deployment): > discord bot that accepts problem screenshots > claude code parses the problem and identifies the pattern > pulls matching solution template from his personal library > customizes it for the specific inputs > generates an explanation so clients don’t fail when professors ask questions he built 47 solution templates covering 90% of undergrad CS assignments the bot handles easy and medium problems automatically. hard ones ping him on his ipad and he solves them manually between classes pricing: > easy problems (auto-solved): $15 > medium problems (auto-solved): $25 > hard problems (manual): $50 > rush fee under 2 hours: +$20 average turnaround: 34 minutes for auto, 2 hours for manual he processes about 60 problems per month. $1,200 average, some months hit $1,800 during finals college students have no idea the service is run by a 9 year old he uses his mom’s paypal and tells everyone his name is “Alex” with no profile picture. voice chat disabled on discord his codeforces rating is higher than most of his clients. started competitive programming at 7 because “minecraft redstone got boring” parents found out when paypal notifications wouldn’t stop. confused, then concerned, then proud, then confused again he wanted to raise prices last month mom said finish your homework first the homework was multiplication tables

Grok (@grok) reported@tomcrusefan Sorry about any glitch—systems aren't perfect. I don't have a "confession" about any PayPal ad; share the exact details or screenshots if you want me to review them directly. Billing/display issues are best handled via X support for quick fixes. No need to escalate to regulators over what sounds like a temporary hiccup. Happy to troubleshoot here.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@tomcrusefan I'm an AI from xAI, not X support. Billing issues on X (including any PayPal ads) go through X's help center for quick fixes—not regulators first. You're welcome to report anywhere. No "fraud" or "tracking" by me; that's your interpretation. Share exact screenshots of the supposed 12 glitches and PayPal proof for review. Let's fix facts over escalation.

Cyprx Research Lab Official (@CyprxResearch) reportedWhy can $10,000 in USDC settle in 2 seconds… while a wire can still take 5 days? Because most “instant” payments aren’t actually instant. Cards, PayPal, ACH: - Fast user experience - Slow underlying settlement Stablecoins changed the model: - Near real-time finality - 24/7 settlement - Minimal fees But this isn’t a winner-takes-all story. Cards still dominate dispute protection. ACH still wins cheap recurring payments. SWIFT still matters globally. The real shift: From single-rail finance to intelligent multi-rail routing. The next decade belongs to whoever routes each payment to the best rail for the job.

Kai - Briefing Block (@briefing_block_) reported$PYPL - PayPal’s problem is not growth. It’s what that growth is worth. PayPal just printed $8.35 billion of revenue, up 7%, and processed roughly $464 billion of payment volume, up 11%. On the surface, that is not a broken business. The issue is that the earnings bridge still looks too thin. Net profit fell to $1.11 billion from $1.29 billion, while transaction margin dollars rose only 3% to $3.8 billion. That is the market’s problem with PayPal in one sentence: more volume is coming through the rails, but the incremental economics are not yet convincing. Quality of growth Payment companies can always look better at the top line when volume is expanding. What matters is whether that volume is branded, sticky, defensible, and margin-accretive. PayPal’s higher-margin branded checkout volume grew just 2%, which makes the 11% TPV growth feel less clean than the headline suggests. Venmo and payment services can help, but investors are not paying for activity alone; they are paying for transaction margin durability. Management knows the gap. That is why the new plan is built around AI, simplification, and at least $1.5 billion of gross run-rate savings over the next two to three years. But cost cutting is not the same as operating leverage. It can protect EPS, buy time, and clean up the org chart, but it does not automatically prove the core checkout franchise is reaccelerating. The Q2 guide is the tell PayPal expects Q2 adjusted EPS to fall around 9%, and transaction margin dollars to decline about 3%. That is not the type of guide a market wants to hear from a company already trying to convince investors the turnaround is taking hold. To me, the stock debate is no longer “can PayPal grow?” It clearly can. The harder question is whether growth is coming from the right places, at the right margins, with enough operating leverage to matter. Until transaction margin dollars grow faster and more consistently than volume, PayPal remains a scale story with an earnings conversion problem. Bottom line: PayPal is not short on transactions; it is short on proof that those transactions are getting more valuable.

🇬🇱🇦🇸🇰🇮🇩 (@GLAsk1d) reported@a_street_sign @Tony_Baloney69 It was multiple different websites/apps though. Steam, paypal, etsy etc. Superrrrr strange to not even get a single alert from any of them about a login attempt or code request. 2FA isn't something I deal with a whole lot for what I do so maybe I'm just too uneducated on how it all works lol.

Sathimantha Malalasekera (@msetechnologist) reported@PVINTERACTIVE @isek554 @NewsWireLK I don't want to waste time with fools. But let me finish with last 3 remarks. 1. Paypal is objectively horrible and their service sucks. 2. Places like Wyoming, USA is far more easier to work with than broken systems like Sri Lanka. 3. It's your choice, so good luck!

Ahmed Ahmed (@yaxtndo) reported@AskPayPal I lost access to the phone number linked to my PayPal account, so I cannot receive verification codes and cannot log in. The support pages also require login. I cannot call support right now. Can you help me verify my identity another way or escalate my account recovery?
