Saint John: Evernode 1:1 Freedom (@AverageJohnEVR) reportedThe utility of bitcoin has always, to me, been to force the governments of the world to give the humanity what they deserve, self-sovereignty. Bitcoin cured many ills in the world by bringing us all together and giving us all a clear view of how the traditional banking tyrannists are abusing media and other platforms to brainwash the population into accepting that they have no place to store their productivity for future needs. Bitcoin broke us free from traditional finance slavery, no more do we have to put in 10 times more value than we get back, no more are we forced to get down on our knees and beg our bankers to let us use our own money, no more are we locked to monetary policies inflating our savings away, no more do we need to worry about reversed transactions… And trust me, reversed transactions were one of the biggest reasons bitcoin grew big in the first place. Once upon a time we were making business with each other through paypal and skrill, and it was not an uncommon thing to get our funds frozen and stolen. It was not an uncommon thing to get screwed over by creditcard hijackers and other conartists. Bitcoin saved us from this aswell. But it hasn’t been easy… Today we have valuable assets on blockchains. But it was a bloody battle to reach this point. Me and my friends used to count how many fiat bank accounts we were frozen at. We used to count how many (faulty) police filings for money laundering we had against us… The onboarding of retail during the bitcoincore days were a challenge, we hung out on irc and we educated each other on lanparties… We counted heads, every single new face was a reason to celebrate, and the statistics of the bitcointalk forums were closely followed. I am one of few that managed to stay out of trouble, I almost got sent to jail for money laundering but I prevailed my case. A couple of friends have died along the way and a few others have fled to europe. It truly hasn’t been easy. Today, everything we bled for is being sucked up by scamcoins and VCs… The cryptocurrency industry is solely being used to fundraise venture capitalists and other scammers. Most of the new coins we see are indirectly created by VCs, they are followed by a fancy website and a big exchange listing that generates a pump and a VC dump. After that, all the people that bought the pump are forced to slave and promote their shitcoin to their friends and family, and the only winners are the VC’s. VC’s are here to eat our pie, they always leave with more money than they join in with. So do scammers and meme coiners. The last remaining thing I will do before I die or before I vanish into the shadows is to bless the world with decentralized hosting. I welcome you all to be a part of that, if you still believe in the fundamentals of crypto -Empowering humanity. Evernode is the name of the last project we will ever see in our lifetimes where retail can buy in at the bottom and enjoy the ride for an eternity. It has a low supply in combination with a low price, in combination with a low inflation rate, in combination with predictable halvings. The magic of this project is that it is actually useful, it actually solves things, it actually is valuable, and best of all it is based on a clean capitalistic free market where the invisible hand solves all the obstacles. The network consist of nodes, and each node operator is getting rewarded in EVRs. To get rewarded they have to offer a certain amount of computing power (minimum 4 vcpu, 8gb ram and like 250 gb ssd). The reward exist to incentivize node operators to run the network. But it’s not just about running a network, it’s much more. Each node have ”instances”, and these instances can be rented by network users. When you rent an instance you can use it for whatever you need it for. You can run a website, you can run a bitcoin RPC, you can create a decentralized application for whatever you want, or simply use it to execute orders based on inputs. Example of decentralized hosting: If I want to run a decentralized website that nobody would ever be able to take down, I would host my website on evernode and combine it with a nomadic smart contract and a dynamic DNS. This would mean that my website is moving from node to node, forever, of course until I or random donators stop paying evr for it. While moving from node to node, I make sure the website sends a signal to a dynamicDNS provider, that way I can keep pointing my A record for my domain.tld to the newest node. Of course, I could also just boot up the website on multiple nodes and use a round robin approach, but never the less, since I can decide what countries and what nodes to run my website on, it’s untouchable. The value of this network is incredible, and we will need it to fight the risk of centralized exchanges getting a pure ********** over the markets, this is where the smart contracts get in. Evernode smart contracts: The network got thousands of nodes, if you rent 5 nodes that are independent of eachother, and you force these nodes to shake hand before they execute an order… Then that gives us smart contracts for everything, and the order can be executed based on anything. On evernode instances you can install bitcoin nodes, and you can then send a bitcoin transaction when your instances shake hand about something. What they shake hand about is up to you or the developer to decide. It could be based on the temperature today or based on a webshop sending a payment call. The key here is that we get automated bitcoin transactions on our own terms! Sophisticated programmability for bitcoin has been solved this way. We can create our own decentralized bitcoin exchanges with this methodology. We can price match peer to peer traders with eachother directly on a trading platform, we can even use cexes and price match to cexes and other on/off ramps. This way we can manage to battle the centralized exchange control over our funds (It’s getting really bad and really concentrated, this is a serious problem.)

Teos 🧨 (@Teooooos) reported@stevehunsaker1 I mean it's been a minute since I've paid a VA overseas but payoneer and PayPal etc were terrible too. Wise has improved on that but ACH is still slow and expensive compared to stables Provided you understand the tech it's pretty seamless and instant with lower fees.

Mike Hudson Perry (Bandaid's era) (@Mikeperryhudson) reported@ChrisAntonacci1 I received an invite to their wedding but apparently it says in the email that Dua asked me to paypal her $3,500 for the cake which she promised to return since she has issues with her banking. I don't have extra so I sent her my rent money.

Loyalty isn’t a PayPal invoice, and the streets already have better rates.

The Assembly (@InTheAssembly) reportedPYPL PayPal. Down massively from its peak. Now trading at ~8x earnings and ~8x free cash flow. Dirt cheap for a business this scale. 439 million active accounts. $1.79 trillion in annual TPV. Wall Street has written it off. Meanwhile the business keeps printing.

Wendy Jane (@WendyWillowCats) reported@AskPayPal I have to get an sms everytime I login via your app. Even though I’ve passkey & Face ID It’s not just payments 🤯 The payments via #PayPal+ debit card are even more frustrating since there’s a 3 step thing going on 😭 I can’t remove this via app or log online - help

FritzVA (@fritzva15) reported@justvikinggg Indeed, although I'm not surprised considering I laid everything out clean as can be, Kept vulgarity to a minimum and sure, I called 'em a ******' dumbass for defending this disgusting trash... but otherwise I really have no issues with them. (P.S That and if they were to respond they'd have to actually account for all of the info above, There's really no way to spin it any other way than "She knew what she signed up for by getting a paypal account, Then she got caught and as such Actions have consequences. Does it suck? Obviously, yes.. but for someone like Vex? I don't feel bad.

Victoria, Certified Pattern Recognition Specialist (@nina_leone11) reported@SkypeTherapist I am reading through your website. I do not have PayPal but do have VENMO. PayPal froze my account several years ago without warning and without reason and have refused to correspond with me to remedy the situation. Would this be an issue?

XP_Artz (@XP_Artz) reportedI had it since Oct last year(the ban, the account was from like 2020) and I can't even close it to try to make a new one since even most platforms will use PayPal too. And that ban thing has been a problem for artists for years. Thank God I didn't keep money in there.(2/3)

JMckay $KAS (@JayMckay11) reported@InTheAssembly One of the problems with Paypal is Paypal is still kind of antiquated in how it uses its payment rails. It has 400 million registered users but how many of them are dormant I know I am. I hate Paypal I’d much rather use Shopify or Google pay it’s faster and easier plus dealing with Paypal. It’s always a pain in the butt. Maybe the CEO can do something.

Alexandre Lores 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇨🇺 (@alexandre_lores) reportedOnboarding new tech is best dome seamlessly - as few actions as possible, and fewer "decisions". Same goes for RWAs, tokenization, Web 3.0, whatever words we use. "Click here for a 50% discount on your remittance fee with our new high-speed program." One-click. As a parallel, let's look at mobile APIs. 50% of the people using them probably never heard the term. 99% of users don't even have a basic technical understanding of what coding language to use for an efficient secure application programming interfaces. That doesn't stop an estimated 4-6 million people from using mobile APIs regularly. (Sign in with Google/Apple, Pay with PayPal)

Alisha Shrestha (@alishashrestha) reported@AskPayPal I deleted my previous account as i needed to change the country. Now when I try to sign up, it says the account with the email id exists. Neither password works nor Forgot Password. Something went wrong pops up. I can even ask the Assistant since I need to login.

whitelads aesthetics (@whiteladss) reported@johannesmkx White people are not "the new jews", and we are not a rootless people. This is the fundamental problem which separates your world view from the rest of us. In your pursuit of aimless hyper-intellectualism you yourself have become judaized, even in this holy struggle for the survival of our people you could not resist but find a way to profit financially from it. $7/mo subscription fee, linktree with paypal, buymecoffee, and crypto donations. No surprise that you project your own jewish characteristics on to the race as a whole.

Emely(COMS CLOSED) 🇵🇸🇮🇩 (@Aoisins12) reported@AutumnSakuraaa The problem is, all the transaction options failed, and I’m tired. They said my PayPal account doesn’t support international transactions, but my commission always handles international transactions, so the last resort is to send the gift as Astrites 😭🥀

K ⚡️ (@tatted__up_K) reportedOK guys so I don’t usually post statuses like this but this is very very important. I am dealing with an emergency surgery situation and health issues right now with myself. I am really struggling and I’ve missed a lot of work this week due to this, now I’m hospitalised I know I’m gonna be here for at least five days and that’s the bare minimum. You’ll start buying the **** out of some content or bless me. I’ll post my links below. I don’t do this, but like I said, I’m having a very very hard time and this is very unexpected I’m trying to earn it and I’m not asking for handouts thank you.

MiReTu (@_MiReTu) reportedHow @GoKiteAI makes agent payments cheaper than $0.01 and why Stripe and PayPal can't keep up The thing is, an AI agent pays for APIs, data, or compute every second, meaning every action is a micropayment worth just a few cents. Stripe/PayPal charge 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. Example: a $0.46 payment → a $0.31 fee. That's 67% eaten up by fees alone! Over a day of agent activity, fees destroy the entire budget. Kite solves this differently: Runs on its own blockchain (Avalanche L1). Uses payment channels: you open one once, and the agent can make thousands of payments almost for free. Real cost - $0.000001 (0.0001 cents) per payment Speed: under 0.1 seconds. Stablecoins (USDC, etc.), with no volatility. @KiteAIFDN Agent Passport is an agent's passport: You set budgets, limits, and time restrictions. There's a kill switch - one button instantly shuts the agent down. Full control and auditability. Real example: An agent called 6 paid APIs → paid only $0.036 in total. That's why 500+ companies are already moving to @Kite_Frens_Eco. It's not a wallet, but dedicated infrastructure for agents.

Huxley Peckham 🔥 (@huxley_sft) reportedAnthropic shipped Claude for Small Business. 15 workflows, 15 skills, connectors for QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, Docusign. Demoed it in Friday's session. Two things stood out. 1) US stack. Most aussie SMBs run Xero, not QuickBooks. Xero has its own MCP server now (MIT licensed). Local door is there, just not through the pack. 2) Skills are generic by design. Hit that on the tax organizer. The trigger and categories don't match an Australian BAS. The pack gets you to the door. The work begins where it stops.

Fitz (@Fitz_Doud) reportedHow do strangers, agents, communities, or businesses create spendable obligations between each other without needing a bank, card network, PayPal, Stripe, or centralized balance sheet to decide who is allowed to issue value and who must accept it?
