  Need help from creators. 👇@paypal I'm creating a PayPal account. The problem is that all my government IDs have only my first name (no surname), but PayPal requires a last name. If you've faced this before, what did you enter, and did verification go through?

  I'm not defending PayPal because I hate it with all my might and I'm forced to use it, but if you have a business account without a permit and you earn above the roof, it's kind of "duh" that your account is going to get down. Anyway, I'm so sorry for you loss :(

  @myhopeworldian_ Yes and it’s horrible! I had to authenticate twice once by text and then by email. I was like wtf is happening?!? I’ve talked with other people who weren’t having to do any of that though so I thought it was an issue with my PayPal acct somehow.

  @Icerzzxx @PredAlerter Lol. It's not about them getting in trouble and off the streets.. It's about these guys luring people to a meet where they outnumber them and they can smack em around and seem like heros to the low IQ. While they're back home checking their PayPal account and counting all the donations. The Peds they 'caught' are back home creeping on kids lol. Wtf did they do other than entertain you and take your money?

  Hey folk, so apparently PayPal is acting up too.. I'm just pushing this out there because I'd hate to see my fandoms struggling. Especially when we're all mostly about charities and international projects Lets hope we can find a better solution than PayPal down the line

  Startup Archive (@StartupArchive_) reported 18 minutes ago

  Peter Thiel on what he doesn’t like about the Lean Startup Thiel believes there are merits to the Lean Startup, but he thinks founders today may have over-indexed on it: “I do think we tend to be dominated by a somewhat nihilistic bias where we claim not to know anything. And when you don’t know anything, you end up defaulting too much to the experimental search, A/B testing approach of ‘Let’s ask the customers.’ And I would say the problem with that is that the search space is simply way too big.” In practice, Thiel argues for a more definite view of the future: “This is an important problem that needs to be solved, and this is the set of things we have to combine in just this way to do it.” To be fair, Steve Blank—who pioneered the Lean Startup methodology—isn’t necessarily against this approach. Blank just recommends treating your assumptions as “a series of untested hypotheses.” But there’s clearly a balance between having a definite view of the future and rigorously trying to disprove your assumptions. As Thiel explains, many of the PayPal founding team’s initial assumptions were wrong: “At PayPal, our original business plan was to have payments on Palm Pilots, then it was wireless payments, then it was payments linked to email. So we had a few fairly big pivots in the first year. I’m not sure there’s anything especially virtuous about that — if you have a dumb idea, it’s important to change it — but it’s not virtuous to have a really bad idea in the first place.” Source: @OxfordSBS (May 2015)

  @NamesakeGeodite 99% of people's issues with paypal is just them not knowing the law. Like you would need to to choose not to be a sole proprietor, and instead be another business type. If you choose that then yes you need the legal info regarding it.

  @SolariaWrites if you're referring to the unlicensed thing, fair. i only cite it bc its applicable specifically to how paypal treats things. normally i don't care, but a ban is a lifetime ban using ur ssn/equivalent, shutting down ur international trade options. this is just preventative info

  Well, that was certainly a week for DSP. It's like a bad film getting an extend cut yet it makes the film even worse as opposed to better like Terminator 2. Being a nine day stream week, we were treated with all sorts of bizarre cope and crash outs along with some good Rage and Wage Quits. Of course, front and center, it's all about the cards baby -- the only thing that matters on DSP [Space] Gaming! Being an extended stream week, DSP was bound to have a week where the weekly numbers would be skewed higher. However, to use a DSP line of "anyone with a functional brain" could see the Whale activity was through the roof at random streams over the nine day run of streams. When you look at the activity, these accounts just randomly dropped a significant amount of money through the Youtube platform in Memberships and Super Chats. Whether they were actually the same person or actually three different people is up in the air. During the Chat Freeze Mini Arc, DSP did admit to knowing the Whales do in fact use Sock accounts, something that was denied long ago. When you factor in how much money was dumped through Youtube over this stream week, it meant a large chunk of that raw cash was incinerated in fees -- especially with a lot being Mobile based. Further, it isn't accessible until August as well. However, it shows how DSP is just being trained like a dog by these few individuals despite trying to act like he runs the show. These individuals use money as the treats to force him to push cards and play certain games which is amusing when it is so blatant. Pretty pathetic for DSP to be just a dog in this transactional exchange and seemingly pushed towards an addiction with cards that will probably lead to a financial crunch and another bankruptcy. It makes me wonder if that's the end goal of these individuals. There was also a rando that appeared over the week that did a bizarre dump of money on Kick in the form of Kicks and Subs. I'm going to assume they were a tourist that decided to just appear and seemed to leave. I guess wasting all that money on DSP got boring -- not sure how giving him money could be "fun" or an "own" on trolls when you're the one out of your money that could be spent on something far more interesting. They also took the time to dump a massive amount of subs between streams last Friday which was not counted by DSP. This also shows how DSP is such an *** for refusing to count the money. It makes you wonder how much money goes unseen while on stream DSP is shaking his can and begging people for that $150+. I honestly don't think it's a frequent occurrence but it obviously happens from time to time and is missed at times. It's also interesting how DSP is dumping more and more money into various cards. As DSP closes in to $5,000 worth of card related purchases - cards, binders, special cases, etc - one has to wonder what is happening with his money and how he is somehow funding this endeavor? DSP can take in a lot of money but much of it isn't accessible. When DSP receives Tips, that's instant through PayPal. When it comes in through Kick, it's somewhat accessible because it is paid weekly on Thursdays. When it is Youtube, it's paid on or around the 21st of the month. Depending on when the Youtube money is donated, it could take weeks to get it and of course it is hit with the most fees possible, especially the massive 51% for mobile donations eating up quite a bit of it. So he's burning a lot of money on a gimmick that is really eating away at what he has accessible and hopes to get in the future. In the past, hats and vests were one time investments. Once purchased, it's over and done with and he could dangle them to the dents. With needing a constant flow of cards at scalper rates, it's an endless investment that feels like appeasement for an addiction like with pulls in WWE Champions than a "cool, chill" aspect of his streams. So any increase of revenue is lost because of the higher fees since the majority of the money is coming in Youtube and access is delayed while needing to constantly pay for cards -- and this is just for cards we've seen on stream and know there is off stream unpackings. I believe someone noted that spoons0 suggested the cards gimmick. While I suspect this person didn't have the intent to give DSP a crippling addiction to unpacking cards, that is what appeared to happen. So even when he hits the goal - and especially when he doesn't - he is pushing card openings and rattling that cup likely because he needs money badly but also to appease that internal addiction to get a hit of dopamine. At the same time, one has to wonder if he is starting to run into financial issues with legitimate bills to keep him in WAHKhando? I speculated that he could be stacking payment plans which is just another form of backdoor credit card debt and the TCG Card Shop offers PayPal Credit plan options with monthly payment plans. Could he be spending outright on some cards while dumping many on payment plans? What about his other spending, possibly with Affirm and Amazon Store payment plans? If he's stacking up payment plans galore, eventually they will come due and then that money has to come from somewhere and could hit at the worst possible time. Further, when you think about his living situation, I believe a fair estimate is that it will cost him ~$40,000 in 2026 to live in a middle unit condo - that's the Property Taxes, HOA, Mortgage, Utilities, and Pet Related Stuff. We obviously can't forget his taxes that come out after the fees for his money, so he's not living his best life when you consider how much is wasted on cards as an ongoing expense. I also highly doubt there is any serious retirement planning happening either. Heck, we don't even know if he is still dealing with back taxes anymore or not. There are other expenses as well to consider - especially with Kat - so adding an addiction to a mesh of expenses and other spending issues is not going to help him. I'm in the camp that whatever money he might have had at the start of this card craze has been eaten up and we will really see begging ramp up between Youtube payments in the future. It makes me wonder about possibly seeing the merged goal unraveled in some form to push more for Kick and Tip side support if things really get screwy for his finances. I also thought it would be interesting to look at the month of July so far and look back a year. Some might say "my goodness, look at the difference" but there is an issue with that. In July 2025, he vanished for a little over a week which created a massive hole in his finances. Despite that, we can still take away the fact that the majority of the money really did shift to Youtube side support. So while there is a massive amount increased based on the raw total - and keeping in mind a missed week of streams - the increase was marginal when factoring all the money wasted on cards and more money lost due to platform fees. In other words, I would say he was doing better last year when you consider less money came in through Youtube and his expenses on gimmicks were lower. I guess we'll see if the trend continues into August or not. tl;dr - I don't believe things are going good for DSP and I think there is enough evidence to suggest this with his spending and what we can see coming into the coffers. We'll see how things progress over the coming months but I don't cards will ultimately save the business.

  @MusingsOfYouth @hafuma No I'm afraid you're retarded. One. Paypal releases all money to your registered bank account or mails you a check after 6 months of account closure. But two. No, if you run a buisness, and make $600 or more especially, and don't put in your ssn as a buisness account its a legal issue not tos.

  Understanding APIs What Is an API and Why Is It Everywhere? If you've ever used a food delivery app, booked a ride, logged in with Google, or paid online, you've used an API without even realizing it. So, what exactly is an API? API stands for Application Programming Interface. Think of it as a messenger that allows two different applications to communicate with each other. Imagine you're at a restaurant. You don't walk into the kitchen to prepare your own meal. Instead, you tell the waiter what you want. The waiter takes your order to the kitchen, the chefs prepare your food, and the waiter brings it back to you. In this example, the waiter is the API. The waiter doesn't cook the food or eat it. The waiter's job is simply to carry requests and responses between you and the kitchen. Applications work the same way. For example, when you open a weather app and check today's forecast, the app doesn't magically know the weather. It sends a request through an API to a weather service. That service processes the request, gathers the latest weather information, and sends it back. The app then displays the results on your screen. The same thing happens when you: Log in with Google. Pay with Stripe or PayPal. Track a package. Book a flight. Send a WhatsApp message. Check cryptocurrency prices. Every one of these actions relies on APIs to exchange information between different systems. Without APIs, modern applications wouldn't be able to work together. Every service would have to build everything from scratch, making software development much slower and more expensive. The next time you order food, make a payment, or sign in with your Google account, remember that APIs are working quietly in the background, allowing different applications to communicate seamlessly. In simple terms, an API is the bridge that connects one application to another. Once you understand APIs, you'll realize they're one of the most important building blocks of modern software development.
