    Antiwork (@Antiworkship) reported

    @DhawaleVikrant I really don't care People who are worried about CJP's foreign funding are the guys who think protest is illigitimate The cause is real, 25+ kids have died, this was 152nd paper leak under Pradhan. Over 1L kids have died in last 12 yrs. There are issues related to UGC implementation + resevation.... If these are regular thing for you then you don't want accountability or change and then you should spend your energy on finding source of funds Btw not a single $ can enter via traditional routes (WIRE, SWIFT, PAYPAL....) without govt knowing it. Crypto was a loophole which has been now completely plugged. All transactions have a purpose code. Govt knows everything They just behave retardedly for their retarded supporters

    Privacy tools in crypto have become a compliance problem. Mixers co-mingle funds with unknown counterparties. You can't verify who you're transacting with. Zcash works, but only for one token on one chain. Institutions don't want mixers. They want a decentralized PayPal. Non-interactive cryptographic proofs can auto-generate a unique stealth address for every transaction. Counterparty verified. Nothing hits the public ledger. Works across every major chain @Americanfort_io

    @PayPal Terrible customer service experience. Took 23 minutes to get to a human, who then recommended that I call a phone number that led right back to the same automated operator services. Please have a dispute department human employee contact me. Sending DM with details.

    Hi @AskPayPal, I need help recovering my PayPal account. I still have access to my registered email, but I no longer have access to the phone number used for WhatsApp verification, so I can't receive the login code. I also can't log in to contact support via chat.

    Had about 50+ people reach out to me a couple of days ago on insta about private processing So let me break down some common questions Nr1: legal structure If you sell in the US, have a US llc setup This will increase your auth rates and opens a lot of new doors (Same goes for other markets - have a local setup) Nr2: what is “private processing” It is not some payfac Its having processing directly from an acquiring bank You go to an ISO and they talk to the bank and do the whole underwriting process In the end you have your own MIDs (merchant IDs) And you are the only store processing on it Way less wrongful shutdowns than on payfacs cause your data is not mixed with others Nr3: the checkout Its very simple… All you need is a CRM It will high jack the shopify checkout process You build a custom checkout or use pre made templates and connect your MIDs to the CRM Usually will need the MIDs to either be able to issue a VAR sheet or have the NMI gateway But its very common so no worries on that Nr4: the benefits I dont even know where to start lol - full control over your checkout (split test and run what ever you want) - unrestricted upsell flows - if you do mrr then you can own your subscription tokens - apple/google pay wallets + paypal - way less wrongful shutdowns - next day payouts - almost a 0% chance at losing access to all processing - smart rebill logic - built in tracking (sent directly to your ad platform) - no more headaches from SP bs I could go on but you get the point If you are still on SP in the big 2026 its time to rethink your backend Q4 is coming up and volume spikes cause a ton of volatility with SP shutdowns (Not the case on MIDs as you have a HUMAN to talk to) Don’t end up not being able to process payments during November Set this up even as a backup if you don’t want to fully switch Either way if you have any questions or want to get in touch with the right people… Send me a dm

    @AskPayPal I still can’t contact or call customer support, I’m currently in Nigeria how do I reach them to be able to gain access to my account. It’s almost impossible, I have been on this for weeks. Ii can’t login because my device was stolen and I need access

    @tainted_ashes @PayPal It sucks so bad because this is how I make a living. I’ve been doing this for three years now and had no issues, and they blocked me out of nowhere. It’s ridiculous that this happens so often in the art community. 😩🫠

    the market runs 1,440 minutes a day. you run about 40. that's the entire problem. everything else you argue about on this app is downstream of that one number. so people build crutches. price alerts. a hundred goddamn price alerts. and a price alert is the dumbest possible version of your thesis, because it only knows one number. it can't tell a breakout from a wick that got bought back in nine seconds. the other camp sells you a bot. black box, a backtest curve going up and to the right, no way to ask it what the hell it's doing. most of it is a ******* screenshot business, not a trading business. TradeOS took the boring road instead. you type a sentence. plain English, no Pine Script, no repo to clone: "analyze QQQ 1D chart with trend analysis using moving average, MACD, squeeze momentum, ATR" that sentence becomes an agent: > it runs 24/7 > it watches the assets you named while you're asleep > it drops the verdict in your feed. "detected 3 trends." or nothing, which is also an answer. 13,000+ assets in reach. the agent doesn't get bored at minute 41. there's a second piece on there I think is underrated. an indicator market. one premarket S&P model has 19,347 subscribers on it. you can rent someone else's edge instead of rebuilding it from scratch, or publish yours and let other people pay for it. that's a real market, not a Discord with a paywall. now the part almost nobody clicks on. @TradeOS_ai is built on @verona_dev. Verona doesn't rent them blockspace. Verona earns a share of what the app earns. read that twice, because it inverts the usual deal. every other chain wants your gas and a logo in their ecosystem deck. Verona only gets paid when the app on top of it gets paid. that changes who they let build. a landlord takes any tenant. a partner does diligence. and look at who picked those rails. teams that moved money at eBay, PayPal, ByteDance, American Express. those people shipped payment infrastructure at a scale where a bad rail costs real money and somebody's job. they don't pick rails for the vibes. that's the signal I'd weigh, honestly. not the roadmap. the choice.

    1st time I faced this issue was 14 months ago at PayPal while working with the new Datadog MCP. It may seem from the outside that tech moves fast, but the reality is that adoption within organizations takes a while

  • jasuja
    Monica Jasuja (@jasuja) reported

    9/ My read after twenty years across PayPal, Mastercard, and Gojek: a table like Bernstein's tells you whether a rail is broken or just underpriced for its next stage. UPI's own numbers, including the ones already working quietly inside it, say underpriced, not broken.

    Lovely thing to wake up to, ko-fi says there's an issue with stripe even though I gave them the info they wanted so the only way someone can dono to my ko-fi is via PayPal. I would put it up on throne but it'd take awhile to payout to me and I need the amount by Tuesday. Advice?

    @s0_sm0l Yeahhh. Their account was just like yours so my gullible *** thought it was either a glitch or an alt for dms. Paypal wasn't letting me send them the money so I sent a steam gift card to their email. I'm okay and I can definitely recover from this but it kinda sucks!

  • Yuujers
    Yuuj (@Yuujers) reported

    @housesarebig @CTCG_DZiden Not disagreeing on last minute travel being more expensive, just something that is an option if you want to play in it. It isn't more difficult for a foreigner, its just.. more expensive. Which could be drastically alleviated by lottery starting earlier and results coming out earlier. At that point, you really aren't really locked out. But its the same for CN players trying to play other regionals. Lets only take PayPal, and not credit cards. Paypal CN/Global is different, it doesn't work for Chinese. Oh too bad tickets gone. hehe xD. Not to mention we don't have skirmishes so we have to play round 1. (good change btw). Not defending anything. There are issues with the systems being used, but playing in China is perfectly doable and not difficult. Many players have done so, and I've walked plenty of people through the process.

    @PokemonRestocks jic it was the way PayPal works while only having it linked to an account rather than having funds in it, so if you can get your card to work directly or if you already have funds in your PayPal acc, it should be a non-issue. It's just a very personal L. Hope it helps, tho!

  • _prafullbillore
    Prafull Billore (@_prafullbillore) reported

    The money system you use every day is getting rebuilt, and the biggest players are leading it. Last year, $33 trillion moved on blockchains through stablecoins — more than Visa and Mastercard combined. That’s not a theory anymore. It’s happening. Stripe bought a stablecoin company for $1 billion and built its own blockchain, Tempo, with Visa validating on it. Mastercard is acquiring BVNK. PayPal already issues PYUSD, and Circle went public at a $33 billion valuation. Think of it like WhatsApp for money. Traditional payments pass through four or five banks, take two days to settle, and charge fees at every step. Stablecoins use the internet instead, making transfers faster and cheaper. The rails underneath global commerce are changing right now. Your bank won’t tell you because it doesn’t benefit them. But the shift is already underway.

    Issues with Paypal have been resolved. But unfortunately several members that pay via Paypal and had a renewal due over this period lost access. Please check your DMs on Whop for steps to get back in. Those who have regained access please make sure to reclaim the indicators from the indicator access section to regain access to them on TradingView. Please make sure to join back in to save your spot and not join the waitlist queue should you decide to join back later. Apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.

    @LimzPicks @metrolosin @Betfred “he’s a liar but it’s not funny, if gambling has ruined his life then I don’t think we should be laughing at him, regardless of his errors” it’s literally this kind of empathy from complete strangers that is filling up his PayPal account with donations & because people don’t 4/.

    @Drinkooor @GrapheneOS Thanks, but this should come with a caveat that old reports likely aren't applicable anymore. It lists Revolut and PayPal as compatible, I tried the latter recently and it gives an error about phone being rooted.

    @BeforePablo I personally know MoF was looking to have a sit down with Paypal management in Europe back in 2023. PayPal’s stance is that our financial system isn’t sanitized enough. Too many fraudulent transactions linked to Ghana and it’s almost impossible to trace such persons.
