  @9c3613a591544fe @TheIshikawaRin "Give me evidence of this thing that everyone alive knows happens." Yeah, you're just ******* stupid. We literally just, not 6 months ago, had the entire internet in an uproar because Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal enforced "ethical guidelines" on Steam, forcing them to take down thousands of people's games that were COMPLETELY LEGAL for sale. Your confusion and anger in response to the extremely reasonable position of being anti-censorship isn't complicated. It's exactly as I said it was. You're just retarded.

  @Azorukonn Issue is, PayPal is ran by Visa, which can (and have) ban people from using their services, effectively blacklisting them from any purchase unless with cash...

  @PayPal Because of all the trouble I had due to the unauthorized use of my account—someone advertising that I was selling something without my permission—I have to close it because of you. It was undoubtedly an employee of PayPal Mexico, since they are the only ones who can access my 👇🏽

  if you're building agents that spend money, you need to understand four protocols launched in the last 12 months. Bookmark it! they solve different problems. picking wrong wastes months. x402 (coinbase) — SETTLEMENT what it does: HTTP 402 payment required. agent hits API, server quotes price in USDC, agent signs authorization, resource delivered. best for: sub-dollar API micropayments. pay-per-request data, LLM calls, analytics queries. cost: ~$0.0001 per tx on base. limitation: crypto-native today. USDC default. fiat integration in progress. volume: ~176M txs, $73M total. sustained $11 to 15M/week Q1 2026. quote: "your wallet becomes the universal API key" - erik reppel MPP (stripe/tempo) — PROTOCOL LAYER what it does: payment-method agnostic checkout for machines. same HTTP 402 signal but accepts cards, stablecoins, lightning, bank transfers. best for: if you need multi-rail from day one. sessions for streaming micropayments (pay-per-token LLM billing). cost: stablecoin txs as low as $0.001. card txs $5-10 where economics work. limitation: launched march 2026. first week: 34,000 txs but only ~$3,730 volume. experimentation phase. quote: "MPP is the checkout form for machines" - brendan ryan, tempo AP2 (google) — AUTHORIZATION what it does: cryptographic mandates. user delegates spending authority to agent with price limits, timing, conditions. best for: consumer-facing agent commerce where a human pre-approves spend boundaries. cost: no settlement fees (doesn't move money). limitation: doesn't solve "how does payment settle" - pairs with x402 or MPP. partners: 60+ including mastercard, paypal, coinbase, shopify, walmart. visa intelligent commerce — CARD RAILS EXTENSION what it does: tokenized virtual card numbers for agents. programmable spend controls. standard card-not-present checkout. best for: transactions above $5 where consumer protections, rewards, and credit matter. cost: ~$0.30 fixed fee per transaction. kills economics below $0.30. limitation: can't serve 76% of current agent tx volume. hedging via MPP plugin instead of competing. wildcard: visa CLI beta - card payments from developer terminal with touch ID per purchase. how to choose: building a headless API for agents at $0.01/call → x402 or MPP with stablecoin settlement building pay-per-token LLM billing → MPP sessions building consumer agent that shops on user's behalf → AP2 + settlement layer underneath building for existing visa merchant network above $5 → visa tokenized credentials building for liability coverage on agent errors → amex ACE (agent purchase protection) what failed: openAI shelved chatgpt instant checkout march 2026. ~30 shopify merchants after 5 months. no sales tax, no fraud prevention, no multi-item cart. lesson: consumer checkout UI for agents isn't the market. protocol endpoints are. the stack assembles, not competes: AP2 → authorizes x402 or MPP → settles visa → hedges on high-value consumer flows google cloud's pay[dot]sh uses x402 AND MPP together. coinbase is both AP2 partner and x402 creator. don't pick a protocol. pick the layer you're building and wire the others in.

  Anthropic is going down-market. Claude for Small Business drops into Quickbooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, Docusign, Google Workspace, and M365. SMBs are 44% of US GDP. The frontier labs are not only chasing enterprises. They are chasing everyone else.

  @PayPal @EnriqueJLores The last thing I have is success—you’ve left my account with zero funds—but at least this way I can close my account, which has caused me nothing but problems ever since you forced me to switch from a personal account to a business account.

  How to avoid this issue!! 1. Do not ever disclose that you do nsfw or lewd art. Nsfw is against PayPal tos. Ask your client not to too. (Seems bad but we have no choice) 2. Do not deliver the files through paypal if it’s nsfw. 3. You do need some details on invoices. Make it as generic as possible. Eg. “full body art commission on xyz, to be delivered on xyz”. Keep your NSFW details away from PayPal!!

  @MattMillard2 @RealDannyTommo Who ******** am I? Someone who can actually read figures. Net migration crashed to 171k in 2025... lowest since 2012. Small boat arrivals are also down 41% YTD in 2026. I’m British. You’re just a Danny simp raging at facts while defending a convicted kidnapper’s PayPal grift. How much money have you donated towards his boat?

  @Noblelife2134 He grew up in a violent place that probably predisposed him to become ruthless. The pattern was always there. In the early days of paypal he lied about servers (empty racks), early das of Tesla he lied about the roadster (deliver roadsters with a broken gearbox), ...(the pattern never ended)

  My hypothetical crypto app that simply allows a normie to send money to anyone else on crypto rails needs to be paypal easy. And as much as I think Pera Wallet is going in the right direction, it is not paypal easy. If a GenX person can say "here is money in my bank account, I push a button and the money goes to my friend, and then said friend has it in his bank account,' its UI is simple enough. I can tell you from experience: it is not there. It's going in that direction. And it has way better UI than most crypto wallets. But it is not there. It's the difference between using terminal and GUI in computers. When crypto hits its GUI phase, crypto will see every day usage. Solve real problems. And UI is part of that problem.

  PayPal just extended PYUSD to Uganda and Malawi. Uganda and Malawi are harder delivery problems than Nigeria. Not easier. Uganda runs primarily on MTN MoMo and Airtel Money trust account structures with thinner liquidity depth. Malawi's financial infrastructure is shallower still. PYUSD provides faster settlement on the transmission leg in both markets. The off-ramp licensing, local banking integration, and trust account relationships required to deliver UGX and MWK reliably are the infrastructure that determines whether faster settlement means anything to the recipient. In thin-liquidity markets, the delivery leg problem does not compress because the sending leg improved.

  How to avoid this issue from someone who accepts commission for lewd drawings: 1. Stop using PayPal 2. Start advocating to diversify payment options 3. When you FINALLY move to Wise, remember that you can use the referral to invite clients in

  Future Commissions/adopts on pause for a while as my PayPal is acting up and I have to jump through hoops to fix it 🫩. Current commissions will be finished dw and current adopts not sold will be paused until everything is fixed. This is obnoxious - I hate it here.
