  Can anyone help me? I'm having some problems with creating a paypal account. Idk why but the platform just won't verify my phone number and keep saying "sorry, we can't send a new code. Try again later." I never used paypal since it's not something Malaysians usually use🥲

  Ignore this *******, Grummz is engagement baiting again The OP said they filed an appeal and it was resolved within minutes. Paypal isn't cracking down, OP got hit by a bot and it was resolved. Things are the same, use invoices, don't use sus names on them, and you'll be fine.

  @nvmminyg Hey Bau! We’re currently experiencing an issue with PayPal, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We're already working on resolving the issue, and we expect to have everything sorted out by Monday monday!

  So it seems the issue is that PayPal likes to hold onto payments to collect interest; this is a very ****** practice but payment processors can do whatever ******** they like if there are only like five big ones and they elbow everyone else out. This reminds me of the time my old city pension in New York held onto money/wouldn't let me roll over for the same reasons.

  @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?

  @FrancisWille9 @Wokenessisevil Because these + paypal have monopoly over the market. If there was 1000000 reliable replacements then that would not be an issue. Besides their job is to process the payment and not deny you if something is completly legal because at this point they are necessary service.

  Remember the trick with Argos app for Pokemon products, add the product to the basket as soon as it is live, spam Apple Pay, you will get errors, but eventually one payment will go through and you will get an email 5-10 minutes later. For android try PayPal 🤞🏻

  @AngerRiceBall Unfortunately PayPal is in no position to not do this. These are third party enforcement guidelines handed down by Visa and Mastercard which P.P has no authority to challenge because the payment networks are private businesses and can just refuse to do business with P.P

  If PayPal keeps this down to deep abyss. I'm sure hundreds or billions artists are unable to get their money by this stupidity they made. I'm also not sure about opening IDN price. BECAUSE I know how's bad right now is the conditions of IDN money...

  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.

  With all the PayPal things going on and no one actually know what happen other than “adult art” and what to actually do to prevent flags, I want to say none of us are safe until we find the actual problem to the sfw artist being limited too. I’m not banned yet but I may be next.

  La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo (@LaLiLuLeL0x) reported 1 hour ago

  Crypto didn't start because someone wanted a faster PayPal. It started because DigiCash got shut down. One server, one company, one point of failure. Satoshi fixed that. Ethereum extended it. The entire value proposition is fault tolerance, attack resistance, and collusion resistance. Remove any of these and you don't have crypto. You have a database with extra steps. The EF published a mandate codifying CROPS: Censorship Resistance, Open Source, Privacy, Security. They weren't inventing something new. They were writing down what was always true. The backlash wasn't about Milady or anime art. It was about people wanting the EF to say "we're going to compete with Solana on speed and fund KOLs." Instead the EF said "we're going to protect the properties that make this technology worth building on, even if that means moving slower." Some people can't handle that. Because they entered crypto to get rich, not to get free. Here's what the "just be pragmatic" crowd never thinks about for more than five seconds: if Ethereum loses credible neutrality, the rest of the world walks away. If it's captured by the US, China doesn't use it. If it's captured by China, the US doesn't use it. No country builds critical financial infrastructure on a network another country can influence. The only product that works for everyone is the one nobody owns. That's not philosophy. That's the only path to a global settlement layer. And the argument that "nobody will use the most decentralized chain" is based on the assumption that the regulatory grey area lasts forever. It won't. The CLARITY Act literally creates favorable treatment for genuinely decentralized protocols. When regulation stops treating all crypto the same, the chains that actually have these properties get a structural advantage that centralized chains cannot replicate. You can't bolt on decentralization after the fact. CROPS is not an obstacle to Ethereum's success. It's the precondition for Ethereum's existence. Stop gaslighting Ethereum. 👇
