  @RobHoffman_ @itsalexvacca Find out before you get involved in an advisor scheme 1. They "forget" to pay or they're slow to pay, or want to use some BS like PayPal. It's like pulling teeth. 2. Very often they're fishing into your business for info that's worth more than the payment.

  @IzzatStatus I got hit by a fraudulent PayPal scam a few years ago. I called PayPal. All indians. 100% useless The worthless “customer service” made the issue worse.

  Elon Musk sat on a conference sofa in November 2008 with both his companies weeks from running out of money and the credit markets frozen shut. Lehman had collapsed 8 weeks earlier. No investor in the room was writing cheques for an electric car startup. Tesla had laid off staff in October and was down to a balance that would not clear another payroll cycle. Watch how he handles the funding question. He is being asked to defend a business that had already burned through most of what he made at PayPal. The Model S existed as a plan and a price nobody believed, and the Roadster was shipping in small numbers at a loss per car. Six weeks after this conversation the Tesla round closed on Christmas Eve. He was on a sofa arguing for a company he was days from losing.

  @quinniferhugh @scaledxclancy @mvlberrystreet_ Yeah that is where I screwed up ... didn't question about PayPal and definitely should have. I had seen a couple people comment that they had purchased tickets from them previously with no problem. I put too much trust in that ... or maybe scammer just realized I was easy prey 😒

  @survivetheark How to fix Ark and why: (only part of the full list) I’ll do top 3 atm stopping players especially new ones from playing because Ark is on its way to DEAD. This is for PvP side 1) Turrets the work ratio to turret and bullet production is drastically more than a capped saddle high health stacked mutated soaker. Meaning it takes a week to farm what it takes a few hours to soak no cool.😎 This leads to people living in caves regardless of x6 damage NO LAND bases RAT 🐀 HOLES or MESH people just drop a stego on you beer rocket 🚀 the gen on land GG… No new players are going to play like this. 2) Mutations so because you are all retarded you left it the same as evolved. Let me explain the way it’s supposed to work and what has happened. Mutations are 0/20 on both sides meaning it was intended to get +40 levels this is a problem because a perfect tame is 224 unless you do a trick with the new sea turtle and can get a 225 everytime I see a 225 a game master dummy spawned it most likely because typically 224 is really the max. So you breed 2 224 together you get a 250-270 depending on stats let’s say that’s actually a really great start. Not you mutate max should be 300ish average plus of course you levels max Dino 370-380 depending on those stats that 70-80 away from 450 max so basically there should be no way to get max which in itself is dumb as hell. So what do you do your team leave in mutation stacking what’s that you say that’s where you breed a male with mutations with any female that has 0/20 0/20 also called an 00 female. This allows stacking indefinitely…. Super retarded stops any new players from competing I can give all the reasons why but you have to hire me first. This leads to guess what DINO PURCHASE via PayPal cash etc money your team isn’t getting 🤦 what retards in leadership. So yeah because of this people buy Dino duh 🙄 dummies that’s now literally the only way to play PvP ask anyone with a brain 🧠. 3) so because of both 1 and 2 above new players cannot run the bosses you can’t survive, alphas are in the caves, and they have Dino’s they bought or have survived for so long they raided got the Dino using Dino they bought. So guess what? Players pay for boss runs. No I ask you does this sound like ******* fun? Any yes 👍 I have done all of this been the alpha bought/sold the Dino, fixed mutations by going out to tame a low level 00female, yes I am a pro. I can tell you any casual player will leave, and even hardcore will leave. All that’s left is bought Dino meshing and impossible wall of entry if you want to play fully legit.

  @ChasejustChase @kutiekittenxo I don't have zelle🤷 I tried to setup during the early days before it was widely adopted. There was some sort of issue linking to my checking account. They couldn't figure it out. Bank later had it standard, still didn't function for me. My PayPal probably older than that person

  @J0hnADouglas @Adobe I had a problem with Avast. I successfully canceled the previous year, only to be billed the following year. Then I discovered that PayPal has a tab for sites allowed to use auto-renewal. I deleted Avast and many others. Now all my subscriptions are via PayPal.

  @Shopify FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Disconnect Paypal from new stores by default. @PayPal is the world's worst. You're literally giving new stores an issue to deal with straight out the gate with this default integration and payment acceptance.

  I spent 3 weeks watching my SaaS sit at the exact same MRR. Every morning: coffee → Dodo Payments / PayPal → refresh → same number. No new customers. So, naturally, I blamed everything. “The market is saturated.” “People don’t pay for design tools anymore.” “Twitter is killing my reach.” Then I did what founders often do when they’re avoiding marketing: I opened Claude Code and built more features. Cloud tagging. Dashboard updates. Dark mode. Result? Still zero sales. That’s when I realized my product didn’t have a feature problem. It had a positioning, pricing, and distribution problem. 3 things I changed: 1. One clear problem Instead of saying my product does everything, I focused on one workflow: Extract production-ready code, design tokens, and assets from websites without digging through DevTools. 2. Better free vs paid limits I kept basic features free. But valuable workflows like bulk downloads, Tailwind exports, and cloud projects became Pro features. If a tool saves a developer 30 minutes, paying for it suddenly makes sense. 3. Stop waiting for organic traffic I found 20 digital agencies and ran their websites through my product. Then I sent them a simple 15-second demo: “Ran your homepage through my product and extracted the tokens and assets in one click. Thought this might save your team some time.” No long pitch. Just proof. Within 10 days, the plateau finally broke. More trials converted. New customers came in. Agencies started using the product during client work. The biggest lesson? When your SaaS stops growing, don’t automatically build more features. Sometimes you don't need more product.

  @Kalshi This is an early-stage report, not a product launch. CoinDesk says 𝕏 is in talks about paying creators in stablecoins (Circle’s USDC is the example named). The source is one person familiar with the discussions who also works with other platforms testing the same idea. 𝕏 has not confirmed anything. Treat it as a live option under review, not a done deal. What is actually changing? Great question… Two separate things are being mixed together: 1. Confirmed: 𝕏 is killing Revenue Sharing. New enrollments already stopped. The old program ends September 7; the last payouts land around September 11. It is replaced by Original Content Rewards, which is supposed to pay for original ideas, reporting, expertise, and commentary instead of ad-impression farming. 2. Unconfirmed: How those new rewards get sent. Today payouts go through Stripe or 𝕏 Money. Stablecoins would be another rail, not the new rewards program itself. Nothing in 𝕏’s official creator announcement mentions crypto. Why would they even consider it? Again, great question… Creator payouts are a messy, global, small-dollar problem. Bank wires, local rails, FX spreads, and minimums eat a lot of what mid-tier creators actually receive especially outside the US. Stablecoins (market cap now over $300 billion) settle in minutes, in dollars, without a correspondent bank in every country. That is the same reason $SPCX already uses them for some Starlink payments in “long-tail” markets. 𝕏 hiring Benji Taylor (ex-Coinbase Base, wallets/DeFi) in March fits the same direction. 𝕏 Money is already rolling to a slice of Premium+ users. YouTube already lets some US creators take PayPal’s PYUSD. Meta has started paying selected creators in USDC on Solana and Polygon. 𝕏 would not be first; it would be the largest social app to try it at scale.

  @bernarditoro_ You can fix product perception by building a product to global standards. Why should I target Nigerians for a SaaS aimed at solving a global problem when I can use Flutterwave for USD checkout or recurring plans? It even has a Pay with PayPal feature bro.

  @criptoboi PayPal sucks now. I was with them 15 years. My account got hacked. I called them. They didn’t care whatsoever. Just shut the account down. I said “this is serious fraud, don’t you care?” And she said “this happens a lot”.
