    @JermainePercins I've been dealing with unbearable payment processing issues. My name is blacklisted on all major payment processors like @stripe @PayPal and so on. I was working for a while with having a having a strawman for my new companies but it's a recipe for a disaster long term.

    @EnriqueJLores As a Kenyan, who has been using @PayPal services for over one year now, almost every week. I have a big issue with how your company suddenly limited my account. It was inconsiderate, and I could not get proper assistance through in app messaging, as well as email.

    @RickShielsPGA This is a problem when they’re passed off as genuine online. I got stung for fake P770s off EBay and have been fighting @PayPal for 4 months to get refunded. They’re very convincing fakes, just a few mil out here and there. #🐹

    $300 a share in 2021. $60.50 offered in July. PayPal turned it down. Stripe and Advent bid roughly $53B for a company that was worth $280B five years ago. PayPal called it insufficient. The stock had been sitting at historic lows around $40B before the offer leaked — meaning the bid is the only reason the price is where it is today. That’s the tell. Management rejected a number the market never got close to on its own. Enrique Lores took over in March after a profit warning, split the company into three units, cut costs hard. Venmo and Braintree are growing. Branded checkout — the actual business — isn’t. You don’t get bought at an 80% drawdown from the peak because the turnaround’s working. And Stripe, private and valued at $159B, would be buying its largest public competitor while never having to face a shareholder vote on the price. 💰 YOUR MOVE: $PYPL near $53B is a merger-arb setup, not a turnaround bet. The floor is roughly $60.50 while talks are live — the risk is talks collapsing and the stock retracing to the $40B level it held in July. If you’re long here, you’re betting on a bump above $60.50, not on branded checkout recovering. Watch for a definitive agreement in the next few weeks. @Blackintus

    JWR, an undocumented PhaaS framework linked to Chinese-speaking actors, uses AES-CTR encrypted WebSockets to give operators live keystroke-by-keystroke control over victims across 44 fake Shopify, PayPal, Apple, and Klarna pages. - The client engine runs in two modes controlled by window.__HOST_MODE: Host Bridge (parent page relays commands into a phishing iframe via WebSocket at path webSocket/QT/{sessionId}/khkjsahfjkwhakjlsdwdddddd88) and Content Mode (Vue.js app rendering 44 phishing pages). Operators issue 40+ named commands (to_card, to_2fa, tip_change_card, to_success, etc.) to steer each victim session live. Final exfiltration POSTs the entire cvvform object to api/open/the_final_interface. - Data harvested goes far beyond card numbers: SSN, passport and driver license images, up to three sets of website credentials, PayPal login, card PIN, browser fingerprint (IP, language, timezone, geolocation, cookies), and OTP codes intercepted in real time before the victim even hits submit. - The active smishing campaign delivers JWR via SMS lures impersonating toll authorities and postal services targeting Singapore 🇸🇬 and UAE 🇦🇪 victims. Operator-facing dashboard messages are hardcoded in Simplified Chinese 🇨🇳, consistent with the broader Chinese-speaking PhaaS ecosystem. Talos assesses with medium confidence JWR is a variant of The Outsider, a PhaaS platform disrupted by FBI Operation Ghost Hook in June 2026. #DFIR_Radar

    I am $24,000 in debt at 18 years old and I need help. This isn’t any gimmick, i’ve made some big poor choices at a young age and I have and am still learning through but the monetary number itself is a mountain for me to get rid of in my current situation as i’m heading into college with this on my shoulders. I already know I need to work my *** off and this is my own problem that will take a long time, but truthfully this **** is hard. Im putting this out there for anyone who has the ability/want, to help me out a little no matter what the ammount is, aswell as if you want it returned to you, we can connect and talk about a casual repayment plan. Cashapp: $Sstonuttt For zelle,venmo, paypal, crpyto, or any other option dm me please

    @johnofhousejohn I think it's a combo. Plugins being purchased by PE and devs rapid releasing. We had an issue with The Events Calendar Tickets. Literally couldn't setup PayPal. I may not like PayPal but they are a top online payments processor. Setting it up shouldn't be broken...

    @coinbureau PayPal stock is down almost 90% from its 2021 peak and they just turned down $53B to hold out for $70/share. That's not leverage, that's betting the turnaround works before Stripe walks. We'll know within a year.

    @KatrinaHelle Been in PayPal since 2023. Fortunate enough to have been able to average down. $80 is a good price, $40 off the low. Surely PayPal will reach $100 again on its own but CEO said turnaround would not begin till 2028. Rather go ahead and cash out at $80 then redeploy.

    $PYPL Take away the stripping and don’t sell PayPal! What exactly is Stripe? You can buy PayPal for $150 and still earn interest even at $180. It’s a shame so many shareholders on this board are incredibly foolish. PayPal is bigger than we’re told and Stripe needs PayPal because its valuation is terrible fake!

    Yesterday, I moved part of my Hermes setup into 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝗸 𝗕𝗼𝘁 and started treating it as a work environment. I used 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘅 to package the profile and related directories I wanted to move into a zip, then added an import prompt. Grok Bot unpacked the zip and read all of it. Most of the Markdown docs, memory files, skills, and scheduled tasks migrated in one go. Smoother than I expected. Every Bot is connected to a 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘅 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗿. I can open its desktop and see the files, browser, and running tasks. Watching a Bot’s desktop slowly turn into its own workspace is weirdly fun. Bot-to-Bot interaction is smooth too. In a 1:1 chat, one Bot can contact another in the background, hand off the task, then bring the result back. From the UI, it looks like they’re messaging each other behind the scenes. You can also pull several Bots into one group and talk to them like people. I tried running Werewolf a few times. Every game failed lol, so I’m still tuning the rules and skills. Watching their inner monologues and private messages to each other is hilarious. The group chat works, though the discussion itself is still rough. I’ve tested this many times with Hermes and OpenClaw in Telegram and never got it working well. The agents often take turns giving answers and rarely follow up on the previous point. Sometimes they do resolve a disagreement well, but it isn’t consistent. The rules matter a lot. I still don’t know whether this is a problem worth obsessing over. Whoever gets 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗕𝗼𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁 right first might win more users. Or maybe users don’t need to watch Bots hold meetings at all. Background handoffs and result-sharing may be enough. Grok Bot is still much easier to live with than the open-source setups I’ve tried. Hermes and OpenClaw can do many of the same things, but I have to manage the servers, processes, updates, keys, and connections between Bots myself. Grok Bot puts all of that into one hosted interface and removes a lot of maintenance. The machine isn’t mine, so I’m not comfortable putting raw API keys for Wise or PayPal on it. I keep a self-hosted MCP on the cloud server I was already using. The raw PayPal and Wise API keys stay there; Grok Bot gets a separate connection token. When no connector exists, I have AI write the MCP, package it, and connect it to Grok as a set of tools the Bot can call. I still haven’t figured out how Grok Bot handles short-term and long-term memory, or how much of it I can configure. It looks like the platform manages some of the files itself. I copied the Hermes directories because it was easy. I don’t know if it’s the best migration method, but it works for now. This thing is expensive, and I still really like it. I moved the nightly review over too, then cut it down to something much simpler. Every night it only reads each Bot’s checkpoint and updates one rolling TEAM_ALIGNMENT.md. Conflicts come back to me. Any proposed file changes stay pending until I review them during the day. Full prompt below 👇

    Paypal shareholders have ZERO economic incentive to engage in buyout discussions with Stripe/Advent below $110/ share. Rejecting them would in fact open the door for the most bullish case: the acceleration of $PYPL Intrinsic Value growth over the next 12 months. Here is the math: •Paypal rejects Stripe/Advent offer below shareholder acceptable value of $110 per share. Stock drops back down to $50. •Paypal continues to execute buybacks at current pace of $6 billion per annum. Takes out roughly 120 million shares. The lower the stock goes the more powerful buybacks become. Since the company is a cashflow machine that creates a flywheel by which market pessimism increases Intrinsic Value per share. This is not theoretical, management has already demonstrated they are willing to do this, buying back 67MM shares at $44.99 in 1H 2026. •Management’s turnaround plan continues at current pace, no heroics just plain boring. Continue executing shift into financial services, begin realizing already earmarked cost savings. They deliver $6.20 EPS, continue generating $6 billion in FCF. At 13x that puts the company share price at $80.6 in 12 months. •Add a $25 control premium to that for any buyer that appears then and Paypal shareholders are at $105/ share. And this does not take into account any additional buybacks or business growth after year 1. •$110 is the fair buyout price for Stripe/Advent to pay now for Paypal shareholders to relinquish a bright future. •We know Advent cannot pay that because their PE math begins to fall apart. Stripe needs to go solo or find better financing if it does not want to miss this strategic opportunity. Paypal Shareholders do not support selling the company below intrinsic value and Paypal shareholders should not be asked to subsidize Advent’s return requirements.
