  raptor.trade (@raptor_trade) reported 10 minutes ago

  Everyone said @solana's data infrastructure was solved. Our co-founder, Dominique spent 15 years in databases and knew it wasn't. Birdeye and Codex proved the market existed. They built a great product. But here's what happens to every successful company: as they grow, they move further away from the builders actually using the data. Feedback loops slow down. Edge cases get ignored. Power users emerge, who don't fit the original product. The pricing model stops making sense. The latency stops being good enough. This is where raptor[dot]trade found our opening. Databases have been used the same way for 40+ years. ingest → recalculate → serve stale data. repeat. nobody challenged it because the pain wasn't visible enough, until a few seconds of latency (post-compute) can catastrophic for anyone running serious strategies. So we built a new storage engine from scratch. incremental deltas only. No recalculation. ACID guarantees. 600K transactions per second. P98 latency of 6ms. the result: 99.7% lower cost-to-serve. one URL swap to switch from Birdeye, and we will work with @getblockio and @Shyft_to as our first partners to launch this. PayPal led to Stripe. Adobe led to Figma. Birdeye and Codex led to raptor[dot]trade. The first generation proves the market. The second reimagines the architecture for the power users the first generation left behind. That's where we aspire to be🔥

  @PayPal I’m officially shutting down my account. You guys didn’t help me at all while providing proof of wrongdoing. I will never use you guys again. Was hoping for someone to help but didn’t get it.

  @Airbnb i was fraudulently charged for a purchase via my PayPal on June 26th. Your reps keep saying its an authorized charge without giving me any disclosure or details of the purchase. Its getting really frustrating. This is a gross negligence of security! Resolve the issue!!

  take these 3 chores off your plate this week 1. website updates. framer put ai agents inside its website builder. tell one "update my pricing page" or "find every broken link" and it makes the edits right in your site editor. nothing goes live until you hit publish. free to start. 2. scheduling back-and-forth. cal's individual plan is free forever with unlimited event types, and it imports your whole calendly setup in 1 click. stripe and paypal payments work on the free plan too, so clients can book and pay in one step. 3. phone busywork. acti is a free iphone keyboard with an agent inside. type what you need, hold the acti bar, and it pulls up the meeting link or calendar action right there in the chat. you can build your own shortcuts by describing them in plain english. save this. set up one of the three before friday. which chore goes first?

  If something major happens for me I won't turn it down. I promise I'll come back back to the city of San Francisco though. I did some work for a place called tactic and they're hiring at night so I sent him a quick application I saw I on indeed. They pay you that day with PayPal. I'm having lunch. A cool time at the AI Engineers World Fair. A drop in my air head bucket. I kept wondering why the band wasn't playing. I said come on I even yelled free bird at them. And I found out it was an open mic type thing. Goofasauras comes to Moscone West. I did give somebody a peace sign behind my back this morning too!

  @FTC I am following up on an official complaint I filed with your office a few years ago. I continue to experience issues with several companies that appear to block or withhold funds through their policies or technology. These companies include Gmail, Cash App, PayPal, and X (formerly Twitter). Cash App is embedded within the X platform, yet after years they still claim I never received funds that should have reached me. I strongly suspect fabricated transaction numbers or records, which I believe constitutes fraud. These actions have resulted in the loss of life-changing sums of money due to what appears to be poor policy enforcement and/or malfeasance. I respectfully request that the FTC investigate these companies for unfair and deceptive practices. Please advise on the status of my prior complaint and what additional documentation or steps are needed to move forward. Thank you for your assistance. Joshua Lowden @Telephantix

  @raxkadess Girls, don't trust him. He asks to pay through PayPal Goods and Services just to file for a refund later. Plus, he reports accounts. Save yourselves the trouble and don't sell to him #buyingcontent

  The Classic Playbook Bait (The Hook) They post mouth-watering food pics/videos + Complaints about high prices. Offer “half price”, “first meal free/taco free”, or “I’ll order it for you cheaper”. Use friendly animal persona or helpful vibe to build quick trust. Post on X, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook — often cross-promoting the same content. The Ask Tell you to DM them to “place the order”. They quote a discounted price. Request payment via Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, PayPal “friends/family”, crypto, or gift cards (methods with little/ no buyer protection). The Execution Once you pay → They either: Ghost you completely (take the money and disappear). Send fake tracking or “order placed” screenshots. Claim “restaurant issue” and ask for more money. Occasionally deliver one small thing (the “free” first order) to hook you for bigger payments later. They use stolen accounts or newly created ones to stay under the radar. Why it works so well People are hungry + frustrated with prices. “First one free” lowers defenses. Looks like a helpful small side hustle. Scammers rotate accounts quickly before reports pile up. Red Flags Specific to These Scams Brand new account with few followers. No real business website or verifiable info. Pushes DM payments instead of official apps. Vague about how they get the deals (“I have connections”). Avoids showing real recent proof (timestamped receipts + deliveries). Real-World Impact Victims lose $20–$100+ per “order”. Many lose hundreds chasing “refunds” or second orders. Scammers often use the money for gift cards/crypto that’s hard to trace. How to Protect Yourself & Others Only order through official restaurant apps or established delivery services (DoorDash, Uber Eats, etc.). If a deal sounds too good and requires paying a random person → it’s a scam. Report the accounts. Share this breakdown when you see suspicious “cheap food” posts.

  @Twitch @TwitchSupport @PayPal is no longer allowing for purchases to happen and are blocking people from making these purchases. The language being used is that the banks are requesting this when in fact it is Paypal's AI security which cannot be reversed even if done in error.

  PayPal now forcing me to 'set a digital fingerprint or faceId' to use PayPal. Problem is my PC has no camera or fingerprint scanner. No possible way to decline. What new Digital nonsense is this?
