  The Cursor SpaceXAI overlap is giving Venmo PayPal vibes. Are Cursor and Grok going to stay separate things? This is called Grok Bot but I'm getting routed to a Cursor login portal when I try to launch the Mac client? What we doin here fam? I'm confused as ****

  XRP Insider (@xrpinsider2017) reported 10 minutes ago

  Ripple's CEO just explained why #XRP exists in under 2 minutes no jargon: Venmo can't send to PayPal, even though PayPal owns Venmo. That's how broken our payment networks are. Now scale that to sending money overseas: slow, expensive, and it can vanish for weeks. Ripple's fix: sell the tech to banks worldwide. 4 second settlement, fractions of a penny, anywhere on Earth. Customers don't care it runs on XRP. They just care that it works.

  @AskPayPal EMERGENCY: Case ID PP-R-MCW-635878992 is auto-closing in 30 minutes. The buyer committed return tracking fraud by uploading the original outbound tracking number instead of returning the item. Phone support is down. PLEASE PAUSE CASE CLOSURE FOR HUMAN REVIEW.

  . Scummy tricks the platform sticks up my *** every day... a) A guy reposted one of my actual articles this morning, and I went over there to check on it about an hour later and found it 72 posts back on the timeline. b) I made a little post just about that. It has a few comments on it, but no one would ever know. Because the comment couter is blank. Comments to my post don't register. So no one would ever think of clicking to view them. They've been concealed by the platform. The scumbags that run this platform have pulled every ***** trick in the book on me from the very beginning, but have really put the hammer down since my series of articles targeting the PayPal Mafia directly, as well as the organized crime cartel occupying the Oval Office with articles such as "The Doge Scam", and The Pardons Racket". Since then, my account's basically been dead. .

  @paulg The founder has the right instinct. Hardware companies require patient capital, sustained execution and real customer demand. Nvidia took roughly three decades to reach a $1 trillion valuation. Pre-humanoid, many ambitious robotics companies have struggled because commercializing hardware is expensive and slow. Like using Paypal proceeds to build Tesla, SW successes may create the capital required for more ambitious hardware bets. Good to see more investors betting the long game in HW!

  PayPal's Braintree API went down for roughly two hours. Every merchant routing through it saw HTTP 500s. Checkout. Withdrawals. Venmo transfers. All at once. No second rail to switch to. Here's the part most sellers miss: An outage is the version you can't predict. The other version is deliberate. Stripe, PayPal and Shopify Payments approve you instantly and underwrite later. A volume spike or a chargeback cluster triggers a hold with no warning. Rolling reserve: 10 to 25% of revenue, locked for 90 to 180 days. Terminated instead of paused? MATCH can block approvals for five years. An outage costs you hours. A shutdown costs you months. To the customer, both look identical: your store isn't working. 97% of merchants over $500M run multiple acquirers. That isn't paranoia. That's the job. Full breakdown in the reply 👇

  @Halfords_uk I've now tried paying via PayPal. It processed the payment. I've had an email from PayPal confirming the payment, but your website (again) showed a basket empty error and the order isn't showing in my order history and no confirmation email. WTF is going on?

  @PayPal PayPal is a terrible service that facilitates fraud and does nothing about it. They’ll give the company who commits fraud until the end of the year to respond, by which point nothing will be done even when there is clear evidence of fraud. They profit off of it.

  @Farmville I’ve tried ALL the workarounds and have contacted support SEVERAL times since the issue. I even tried contacting my VIP manager and got crickets. At this point I’m ready to file a complaint with PayPal to get the money back that I spent on that farm unless someone can help me!

  I’ve had a business idea running through my head for a couple of years. It’s a short-term SMS marketing concept targeted at a VERY specific group of people with a very specific need. I was thinking about it again this morning and realized something: The idea hasn’t really changed. My ability to actually build the damn thing has. A few years ago, testing this would have been a giant pain in the ***. I would have needed some combination of a web developer, designer, copywriter, database, landing page, SMS platform, payment processor, automation software, and probably somebody technical enough to make all of those things talk to each other. Suddenly, a little experiment becomes a PROJECT. And that’s before I even know if anybody wants the thing. Today, I can sit down with ChatGPT Work, Codex, Claude Code, CoWork, or another capable AI tool and say: “Here’s an idea I’ve had for a couple of years. There was too much friction to build it before. What would it take to create an MVP (minimum viable product), basically the simplest version I could put in front of real people and test?” Then we can start building. I’ll probably still need something like Twilio for SMS and Stripe or PayPal for payments. That’s fine. The difference is that the AI can quarterback the whole thing. It can help build the landing page or lightweight app, handle the database, write the copy, connect APIs and MCPs, set up automations, and stitch the specialized tools together. That changes the economics of experimenting with a business idea. You can vibe code a workable version, put it in front of actual humans, see what happens, learn, and iterate. If people actually want it, THEN you can decide how much you want to invest in making it better and scaling it. Which got me thinking… How many good ideas are sitting in our mental graveyards because they were too expensive, too technical, or just too much of a pain in the *** to build when we first had them? Maybe it’s worth digging a few of those back up. Grab one and tell your favorite AI tool: “I had this idea a few years ago, but there was too much friction to build it. Given what’s available today, how could we create a simple version and test it?” Some of those old ideas might make a hell of a lot more sense in 2026. 👊🏻

  @pb_steele If I use the paypal card I have to make sure I only do one large purchase or at least one month, since you can’t assign what purchase gets paid down with additional principal payments… or I’ll have to pay off the 0% int purchases all at once, so they don’t pop.
