  @BigSeanHarris Except it doesn’t reduce data.. It’s exactly like the patriot act, that was the opposite of patriotic.. And you are falling for it because of all the bots run by LLM’s. Ask grok how many verified accounts support BiP110? And it’s starts to make sense why 0.3% of blocks on average have signaled. As it’s literally about 0.3% of the community that supports the BiP. Please stop letting bots that control what social consensus appears to be, trick you, again. You are falling right into the trap. As Bitcoin is losing usecases, monetary use cases like $2 trillion annually in remittances that are now done one USDT on TRON ffs. Pick your battles wisely, and don’t forget this is a war, not one battle. You fighting a battle against bitcoins own community, bring drama, division to a community that needs to come together and work on adoption and scaling, not censoring things on a p2p censorship resistant network. The ONLY way to stop spam and send a message to prevent it, is to add true formal governance to Bitcoin, aka A Government and Committees of technocrats that actively censor txn believed to be spam. Do you see why that is a bad idea? Do you see some of you fellow bip110’s suggesting this exact thing? Literally making Bitcoin centralized and under the control of one entity that can be summoned to court and forced to censor txn they don’t want to, as bitcoin is for everyone, murders, spammers, big blockers, rap1sts, pedos, dictators, etc.. they can all USE Bitcoin and no one can stop them, but you think a BIP can stop subjective spam? Please step back and think about this please, for your own sake, and for the sake of the community and Bitcoin adoption, success. As growth = adoption = more use = number go up = more mining, rinse and repeat. Yet we are instead focused on keeping growth as low as possible, and did you know that luke and all the bip110’ers that were around during the blocksize wars actively made fun of those spending their bitcoin on good? Literally made fun of for making monetary txns, Luke especially. Riger Ver made a video of a solution that allowed you to pay with bitcoin at any store, and they all made fun of that can joked that it was “PayPal 2.0” and that bitcoin was digital gold and stupid to spend, ie make monetary txns!! Have you asked why they all did a complete 180 on this issue? Because I have yet to see a single one explain themselves.

  This is the launcher, where is WhatsApp as Skype, which they try to move to where Brave/Multiscape is by claiming that I have no proof of a webclient (to play Multiscape with a web browser, Brave being an example of a web browser) mentioned only in a YouTube video that mentions the domain name I edited years ago to Rune-Server thread's (15th Century, which was the Multiscape thread mentioning Jami as the owner and "we" referring to Ari and Jami, while these manipulators claim it refers to Joni and Jami) reply and that the owner would be Joni (without any other proof that it was Jami's pseudonym than Rune-Server mentioning Jami as the owner) and thus forcing me to move Brave/Multiscape next to RuneScape as my projects/interests that I don't have a proof of like Multiscape 317 with a webclient was owned by Joni Arola (it wasn't according to Rune-Server, unless you think "we" refers to Joni and Jami instead of Ari, whose PayPal link was posted on Multiscape forums without the link showing Ari's name, and Jami) instead of me, Jami. Even if they have no proof of lying, they claim that if I tried to claim that Ari and Jami (me) were the Multiscape team and that Joni mentioned in the YouTube video was my pseudonym, it could be understood as a lie, because the claim that Joni was my pseudonym wouldn't have been made when the YouTube video of the webclient was made but in 2026, meaning that Multiscape was owned by Joni until 2026 as Jami wasn't mentioned in the YouTube video but only on Rune-Server, where the link mentioned in the YouTube video's description was edited to a reply without the date of edit being shown implying it could be done way after the YouTube video, even if the edit wasn't recent, and not true as the video was about a RSPS owned by Joni implying that it wasn't the same RSPS as the one advertised on Rune-Server and editing its link to Rune-Server could be a lie to claim they was the same RSPS, i.e. Multiscape would be linked to Brave in 2026, not earlier. This means WhatsApp as Skype would be the first app there's a proof of, the last one being TomTom and thus the order would start with TomTom app meaning that it starts in my best friend TomTom's place in 2023 and ends with my mom as WhatsApp contact in 2026 instead of starting with Multiscape webclient in 2010 and ending with TomTom in 2026 like it all was a lie started in 2023 instead of truth between from 2007 (Camera app was linked with Bitcoin, because I received a video camera with a microSD card as a Christmas present in 2007, while Bitcoin was 2011 or 2012, which is why Camera isn't before Multiscape webclient in 2010). Do you see the manipulation, @grok? The Rune-Server thread that mentions the link of Multiscape forums the YouTube video not posted by Jami but what mentions Joni as the owner mentions in its description mentions Jami as the owner. The Rune-Server mentioning Jami as the owner is as much truth as the YouTube video mentioning Joni as the owner in the end credits. Neither can be proven wrong. The edit to the reply wasn't recent, meaning there's no proof that it wasn't made when the RSPS was ran by Jami. Thus, objectively speaking, Jami and Joni were both owners of the same RSPS. It would be wrong to claim that Jami wasn't one of the owners of Multiscape 317 with a webclient.

  Think about how money works today: It’s slow. It’s fragmented. It needs 3–5 different apps. Banks. Cards. PayPal. Crypto apps. X wants to remove the middle layer.

  small list off the top of my head. - paypal claims for ppl trying to scam (locks up money for 3-4 weeks) - people being lazy about shipping and waiting days / weeks without sending out the cards I bought - cards getting stuck in transit or looping in the USPS system for weeks with me having nothing to show for my money. (not the sellers fault necessarily) - sending $ and then getting refunded after days / weeks just due to whatever circumstance might come up - people sending empty packages & having to open paypal claims & fight to get my money back (& having my $ locked up for weeks) - people forgetting to add 1-2 cards within the package and then having to track down those cards & then get those shipped in a diff box at a later date. i’m sure there are a few others that i didn’t mention.

  Interesting vulnerability in PayPal's @PayPal login flow: If your account uses 2FA and you login, you now get prompted if you'd like to use a Passkey, but when you decline that and close the prompt, it bypasses the 2FA entirely and logs you straight in.

  QuickSinq's niche is boring in the useful way: PayPal transactions into Wave. Fee splitting. AI categorization. Duplicate prevention. A founder dashboard for sync issues. Not a whole new accounting suite. Just the bridge that makes this one painful workflow cleaner.

  !!! Advisory !!! I have received multiple Discord friend requests Impersonating artists I work with and a creator I don't know in the last 48 hours. NovaYstudio Altaluna Ops_saki natalie_gabrielle I've also heard a huge spike in this happening to others over the last 2-3 days. Please be careful on discord. Discord is being used to deliver remote access trojans. asking you to do collabs and install a file, re=downloads of art, or asking you to download corruped mods on legitimate mod sites like curseforge and modrynth. or they ask you to enter a contest like a Mr. Beast contest for money. when they get access, They clone your browser session and use it to bypass login and 2fa and access all of your accounts. To places like youtube discord twitch paypal email etc. they think its you already logged in, no password no token code, they are just in! they then change all of your info and lock you out. Then they use your accounts to try and infect your friends with the remote access trojan as well. you could receive a message from a long time friend asking you to download a Minecraft mod to play with them, and you don't know they have been hacked because they scanned your previous conversations with them to pick what they are going to trick you with. Please be careful and its sad to say but, if a friend suddenly and randomly asks you to download something make sure its really them in control of the discord account first. If they attempt to impersonate me at some point - I never send blind Discord friend invites. Please be safe

  @ShitpostRock "Don't hire **** artists" Kind of terrible advice, but also wholly accurate. It is a business transaction. Don't hire anyone who doesn't understand that. And Paypal has a 6 month window. If they don't deliver or have substantial progress, chargeback for breach of contract.

  MAN UTD FAN. (@Faith181107) reported 43 minutes ago

  This story took place a couple of years ago at university, a campus filled with privilege—mostly children of doctors, engineers, and wealthy business owners. That didn't make up the entire student body, but it was a significant portion. I didn't come from that background, but I chose this school because it was the farthest from my parents. The reason this matters is that I took my education very seriously. Don't mess with me or my grades, and I won't mess with you. I paid for this with a 40-hour work week while taking 16 credit hours a semester. I'd already gotten two teachers' contracts reconsidered and not renewed at the end of different years. I give everyone respect, but I won't let anyone screw me over. I explained my situation to my professors at the start of every semester, noting that I might miss some classes and why, but I'd still put in 100% effort on the material and assignments. Most were understanding. The professor in this story was too, especially since I'd show up to his afternoon office hours after sleeping through the morning, asking smart questions instead of something like, "Hey, what did we cover while I was out?" The spring class was Implementing Business Computer Systems. For the major project, we worked with a real client through a school program that provided pro bono services to small local businesses. As seniors, we were trusted with client work under the professor's supervision. This felt like a big step, and I was excited. I'd been working as a bartender/server at a fine-dining restaurant while keeping my head in books learning to code, with barely any free time. This was a chance to get a real taste of the professional world we were entering.The project started smoothly. We all drove thirty minutes to meet the client—a wonderful woman in her sixties who owned a small floral shop. She was paying 1-800-Flowers a huge fee to sell her products, which included their own website. She wasn't very comfortable with computers, which became important later. We learned she wanted a new website since her contract ended that summer. No pressure—we could finish it by the end of the semester, maybe earlier, and have time to teach her how to maintain and run it herself. We divided tasks. Since I had the strongest background in coding and computers, I volunteered to build the website as long as Damien, Jeff, and Kirk handled the user guide and technical documentation. Those needed to be thorough so she could easily add products later.Over the next week, we developed proposals and scheduled a meeting with the client for the following Tuesday—when everyone was most available. Sunday, Jeff said he couldn't make it. Kirk quickly chimed in that he couldn't either. I said it was fine—Damien and I would go. Monday, Damien suggested rescheduling since he couldn't make it now. I said no, I'd go alone. We shouldn't cancel on the client. No big deal—things come up. As the semester continued, I was crushing the website. I had a working e-commerce store integrated with her PayPal, a shop tab, and a featured page for seasonal flowers. When I asked about the documentation and manual, all three said they were working on it and would share a rough draft soon for me to review. Cool, no problem. Time to show the client our progress to see if she wanted changes. We set another meeting for a Tuesday a week or two later, and everyone agreed it worked.Same pattern again. Sunday, Jeff backed out, and Kirk quickly followed. I said it was okay—Damien and I could handle it. Monday, Damien said we should reschedule because he couldn't go. "I said no way—this is a client. You don't do that to clients." So I drove the 30 minutes alone. I showed her the website, and she was thrilled, asking us to keep going. She was excited for the final version.Our weeks ran Wednesday to Tuesday, so the last day of classes was Tuesday. The school gave a free "study day" that Wednesday, followed by exams.

  Trial and error has built empires. Start, test, fail, listen, and pivot. Instagram started as a check-in app. Slack started as a video game. Shopify started as a snowboard store. Amazon started as an online bookstore. YouTube started as a video dating concept. Flickr started as an online game. Groupon started as a collective-action platform. PayPal started with PalmPilot payments. Twitch started as a lifecasting site. Nintendo started with playing cards. Nokia started as a paper mill. Avon started with books + perfume samples. Netflix started with DVDs by mail. Your first idea is rarely the final idea. Trial and error isn’t a backup plan. It’s the path.
