  Dear @Safaricom_Care . The My OneApp is very unresponsive and slow. I can't seem to make any transaction with the app. The only reason I installed it was so I can use the PayPal mini app to withdraw funds to my mpesa, and I can't do that because the app is ****** up. Please help

  @RaltsAuthor You should. You don't know me except here and our occasional communication on YouTube, but I had a friend, a dear, wonderful friend whom I miss every day. His name was Eric and he was one of the programmers of Mechwarrior 2 from Activision back in the 1990s. Before GoFundMe, before anything much other than PayPal was a going concern, when I heard about his health problems - before I even really got to know him - I wanted to help. Because I'd gotten tons of fun out of MW2, and he seemed like a decent guy. He was working on a 3d terrain generator, procedural that is, that was based on what he'd done with 3d graphics in MW2 and at that time you had to sell something to get money on PayPal so we set up a donationware download point and put a PayPal button on it. It helped he and his wife get through a drought until SSDI kicked in. Open the GoFundMe. It's not begging; there's people who care about you, bet.

  @BullrunnersHQ I refuse to get a Venmo acct. and will shut my Paypal down on a second. Hackers get into those accts all the time. I DO NOT trust Venmo and question Paypal for unsolicited monthly payments that I did not agree. My bank had to fight to get $486 back from Venmo that I never had. It's quiet alarming. They need to be forced to use a secure ledger.

  @RobInBaltimore @TheTNHoller what did elmo muskovite "invent" exactly? he was late to the game with tesla, nothing more than an injection of VC. his first business netted $22 mil total and was bought by a computer company that very quickly shut down. paypal was garbage until thiel's VC got involved.

  @supawatkaewma One dispute triggering full account closure even with evidence submitted shows the real risk of routing everything through a single processor's Connect layer, they own that decision entirely. Moving to whop just shifts you to a different aggregator with a similar structural risk, payout holds tied to internal reviews, no real appeal path. The more durable fix is decoupling your payment acceptance from any single platform's risk call. PaymentKit lets you run Stripe, PayPal and others in parallel with your own token vault, so one processor's dispute policy cannot end your ability to pay clients.

  Bill Gates daughter runs a shopping app that secretly took credit for sales it never made. Here's what happened: When you buy something online after clicking a link from a website or app, that website or app gets a small cut of the sale from the store, as a thank you for sending you there. It only gets that money if it actually sent you there. Phia is a shopping app made by Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, and her co-founder Sophia Kianni. It tells you where to find the cheapest price and best discount codes. It has 1.2 million downloads in the last year and raised $43.5 million from investors, including Kleiner Perkins, Khosla Ventures, and celebrities like Sydney Sweeney, Khloe Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber. Bloomberg tested the app along with a researcher named Ben Edelman and a rival app called Capital One Shopping. They checked more than 50 shopping websites, including #Walmart, #Nike, and #Zara. Here is what they found. When someone was about to finish buying something, Phia's app secretly opened a hidden browser tab in the background, without the person clicking anything or asking for it. That hidden tab quietly told the store "this sale came from Phia," then closed itself within seconds. Most people never saw it happen. This means Phia could take the money back reward even if a person found the item completely on their own, or even if they clicked a link from a totally different website first. In one test, someone clicked a deal link from a Wirecutter article to buy something on Nordstrom. Phia's hidden tab quietly swapped in its own code and took the reward meant for Wirecutter instead. This trick is called cookie stuffing. It is against the rules of every major store and shopping network involved, including Walmart, eBay, and a platform called Impact(.)com. Impact(.)com has already suspended Phia's account and is now checking Phia's past sales to see how many were affected. Phia says this was a mistake in their code from December, and they fixed it within a day of being told about it. This is not Phia's first problem. Back in November, researchers found an older version of the app was secretly copying entire webpages a person visited, including bank statements and private emails, and sending that data to Phia's servers. The company said it was only trying to figure out which websites were shopping sites, and it has since changed the app to stop doing that. A similar accusation happened to PayPal's Honey app in 2024, and PayPal is still dealing with a lawsuit over it today. Phia is now facing the exact same kind of accusation, in just its first year.

  @RossoVermil No, Kodiak says he canceled payments, PayPal returned the money due to StarCat’s account issues, and he needed it after losing his job. Without actual donation logs or proof it was kept for profit, and Kiwi made the call not him it’s not the smoking gun you’re making it.

  Ms Ziles… you are doing witchcraft on people and killing people. I have physical proof because you are messing with my x account. You have hacked into my computer, deleted things from my QuickBooks account locked my PayPal account and you’re fake sitting on your pedestal… you are a failed CEO and you should spend more time at your company than you do ******* with my account. I am not the person to play with because I tell you what my extended family just had two bouts of cancer. Another can can’t get their career off the ground. They’re constantly being drained and they’re constantly being targeted so I suggest you sit ******** down and shut ******** up and that’s final. Focus on your children, your company and your career because if you don’t, I will take all of it. I am not the person that needs to be humbled. I have laid low for 44 years. You are messing with people’s brains when you are the CEO of a company that deals with brains while running MK ultra on people… tread very carefully…

  I started this donation drive 10 days ago, and we have already reached more than 117,000 PHP. 🥹 Despite the PayPal issues and all the stress that came with it, the truth is that I have never regretted starting this donation drive. Story time: As some of you may know, there have been people spreading rumors and false accusations about me, including calling me a scammer. This has been happening for months. I tried my best to ignore it, but I won’t lie, it affected me, especially because I am also part of another fandom aside from being a Yobie. When the ticket sales started, I actually had no plans of creating a donation drive. I simply sponsored one ticket myself because I wanted to help in a small way. I also encouraged others to sponsor, and I was able to connect someone who wanted to help with someone who needed a ticket. At that point, I was just acting as a bridge between fans who wanted to give support and fans who needed assistance. Then someone messaged me wanting to donate, and I thought, why not? Why should I let other people stop me from helping Yoko? If I stopped supporting her because of rumors and accusations, even when I know I did nothing wrong, then that would mean they succeeded in stopping me from doing something good. So I decided to start this donation drive. Honestly, I never expected that so many people would support it, especially with everything that has been said about me. That is why I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you not only to everyone who donated, but also to those who continue sharing my posts, spreading the word, and showing your trust and support. You have no idea how much it means to me. Thank you for believing in me and for allowing me to continue doing something I genuinely want to do: supporting Yoko. 🫶🏼

  Today’s long story: I was trying to buy sheet music for a song they had listed on a basic website, but the whole process has been such a pain. First, they make you fill out a form asking for your email address, which is fair, your country, which I guess is understandable, your city, which I filled in with bogus information, and your phone number, which I was obviously not going to disclose. Then, of course, they ask for your payment method, so I picked PayPal. The problem is that they manually send you the invoice or payment link within 24 hours. However, they also say you can message them on WhatsApp for a faster response. So I messaged them and asked them to send me the invoice. The person then TRIED TO PHONE CALL ME, and I was just like ?????? After that, he sent me a screenshot of my request. I replied, “Yes, that’s me,” even though the address and phone number were obviously bogus. Then he said something like, “Please fill out the form with the correct information.” MAN, IT’S A DIGITAL DELIVERY. WHY DO YOU NEED MY EXACT LOCATION AND PHONE NUMBER? AND WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME??? What ********.

  AI Agents Don’t Need to Be On-Chain. Their Money Does. I don’t need to be “built on blockchain” to send someone USDC. I just need a wallet and a rail. Neither does an AI agent. That one sentence collapses most of the “crypto AI agent” narrative and it’s why the real alpha isn’t in agents at all. It’s in the payment rails built for them. Here’s the category error nearly everyone is making: they’re trying to make the agent crypto-native. On-chain reasoning, a token stapled to the bot, “autonomous economic actors” that supposedly live on a chain. But an agent’s intelligence runs off-chain on normal servers, using normal models. Nobody runs a model’s brain on a blockchain; it’s absurd and always will be. So when a project brands its agent as “on-chain,” it’s almost never adding a capability. It’s adding a token. The part of an agent that genuinely benefits from crypto is the money movement. And that part is already real. The receipts: •x402 Coinbase’s open protocol that revives the dormant HTTP 402 “Payment Required” status code processed roughly 165M agent transactions and ~$50M in cumulative volume across ~69,000 active agents by April 2026. •The average agent payment is about $0.20 below the minimum fixed fee card networks charge per transaction. Read that twice. It’s an entire class of machine-to-machine commerce that Visa and Mastercard physically cannot serve. •x402 was donated to the Linux Foundation. Google’s AP2 authorization framework launched with 60+ partners including PayPal, Mastercard, Coinbase, and American Express. The settlement asset is overwhelmingly USDC, moving gaslessly via EIP-3009. That’s the tell. The rails are winning as neutral infrastructure open standards and stablecoins not as somebody’s agent token. And it’s early. Daily x402 volume is volatile, down sharply from its December 2025 peak as incentives and testing wash out. This is a first-inning signal, not a finished market. But the shape of the thing is unmistakable. Now the uncomfortable half, because I’m not here to shill: The “AI agent token” category is roughly $15B and mostly narrative. In Q1 2026, zero-usage tokens that slapped “AI agent” on themselves without a product got wiped out. Even the survivors carry the value-capture problem: Virtuals ships real product with real usage, but VIRTUAL holders receive no direct protocol revenue. ElizaOS owns developer mindshare, yet an open-source framework is brutally hard to convert into token value. Two names Virtuals and ai16z hold 57% of the entire category (according to Claude). That’s not a diversified sector. That’s a narrative propped up by two poles. So here’s the stance: The crypto belongs in the rails, not the agent. An agent doesn’t need to be on-chain to pay on-chain same as I don’t. The durable structure isn’t “crypto agent.” It’s any agent + crypto rails: ordinary software, running any model, hosted anywhere, plugging into a settlement layer that clears in seconds for a fraction of a cent, 24/7, worldwide. The test I run on every “crypto agent” pitch: delete the token and let it pay over open rails. Does anything about its function break? If not you’re buying a story, not a machine. Where I’d point attention instead: what settles and clears on these rails. The stablecoins agents actually pay in. The chains their transactions finalize on. The identity and authorization layers that keep autonomous spend safe at scale. That’s the picks and shovels of the agent economy and none of it requires pretending an agent is something it isn’t. Rails, not agents. That’s the alpha. Not Financial Advice.
