  La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo (@LaLiLuLeL0x) reported 7 minutes ago

  Crypto didn't start because someone wanted a faster PayPal. It started because DigiCash got shut down. One server, one company, one point of failure. Satoshi fixed that. Ethereum extended it. The entire value proposition is fault tolerance, attack resistance, and collusion resistance. Remove any of these and you don't have crypto. You have a database with extra steps. The EF published a mandate codifying CROPS: Censorship Resistance, Open Source, Privacy, Security. They weren't inventing something new. They were writing down what was always true. The backlash wasn't about Milady or anime art. It was about people wanting the EF to say "we're going to compete with Solana on speed and fund KOLs." Instead the EF said "we're going to protect the properties that make this technology worth building on, even if that means moving slower." Some people can't handle that. Because they entered crypto to get rich, not to get free. Here's what the "just be pragmatic" crowd never thinks about for more than five seconds: if Ethereum loses credible neutrality, the rest of the world walks away. If it's captured by the US, China doesn't use it. If it's captured by China, the US doesn't use it. No country builds critical financial infrastructure on a network another country can influence. The only product that works for everyone is the one nobody owns. That's not philosophy. That's the only path to a global settlement layer. And the argument that "nobody will use the most decentralized chain" is based on the assumption that the regulatory grey area lasts forever. It won't. The CLARITY Act literally creates favorable treatment for genuinely decentralized protocols. When regulation stops treating all crypto the same, the chains that actually have these properties get a structural advantage that centralized chains cannot replicate. You can't bolt on decentralization after the fact. CROPS is not an obstacle to Ethereum's success. It's the precondition for Ethereum's existence. Stop gaslighting Ethereum. 👇

  @Warriorr_lol Because PayPal charge transactions when money is sent for business inquiries. If you do to mutual friend they don't charge but they also don't care about issues if you have.

  @FatLeon93 @KalebPrime Vanished without a word. Last Steam activity was Feb 9th, last Twitter was Feb 12th. I have his full name, paypal, last known AL address, and tried to track down any obituaries, arrests/court dates, or missing persons report and none turn anything up. Just ghosted.

  Future Commissions/adopts on pause for a while as my PayPal is acting up and I have to jump through hoops to fix it 🫩. Current commissions will be finished dw and current adopts not sold will be paused until everything is fixed. This is obnoxious - I hate it here.

  adelvafa (@iran0pessimist) reported 18 minutes ago

  Payment processors are going after anything labeled as "art" or "commission", holding things up by like 3+ or more days. Kickstarter tried to crack down on legal NSFW art and revoked it, PayPal is doing it now but caught in the crossfire are literally any artists who label their invoices ANYTHING art-related. To get around this, you have to use "Request payment" and click "Friends & Family", and not goods and services. I'm not sure why this is happening, but I've heard on the rumor mill the usual suspects at OnlyFans and PHub have been pressuring payment processors to go after NSFW artists so they can get more people to join OF and PHub as creators, and in the crossfire, PayPal has gone ultra-mode and is icing anything art-related until they can research your portfolio/business to ensure it is up to par. In the case of fellow game creators, you must ensure your storefront content isn't too violent and doesn't have any suggestive themes, because these are being ham-fistedly categorized as "pornography" and this is what payment processors are looking at.

  I've had 2 separate PayPal accounts because I moved to Europe and my account on my beautiful 3rd world country was limited with options, but I never had a problem with them, actually I've just gotten notifications about pp expanding the amount limit on my account due to good use

  @9c3613a591544fe @TheIshikawaRin "Give me evidence of this thing that everyone alive knows happens." Yeah, you're just ******* stupid. We literally just, not 6 months ago, had the entire internet in an uproar because Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal enforced "ethical guidelines" on Steam, forcing them to take down thousands of people's games that were COMPLETELY LEGAL for sale. Your confusion and anger in response to the extremely reasonable position of being anti-censorship isn't complicated. It's exactly as I said it was. You're just retarded.

  I'm going to be off stream at least until June 1st. I'm still trying to pay off my PayPal balance. So far I have put almost $25 into PayPal with surveys. I want to get my bill down as much as possible before I get my check. I'm going to get my account paid for next month and then decide if I want to use my account for a Xbox or or wait for the GTA 6 collectors edition. Once again if you feel you'd like to help with my PayPal balance I'd greatly appreciate it. My account was locked because I wasn't able to pay my bill when I was in the hospital. I just got into my account and have been trying to get the bill paid for. My venmo information is updated if you'd like to help. I thank you for considering and I plan to stream some big gaming titles such as 007 First Light, Fable, GTA 6 and The Witcher 4 when I get a digital Series X.

  With all the PayPal things going on and no one actually know what happen other than “adult art” and what to actually do to prevent flags, I want to say none of us are safe until we find the actual problem to the sfw artist being limited too. I’m not banned yet but I may be next.

  Remember the trick with Argos app for Pokemon products, add the product to the basket as soon as it is live, spam Apple Pay, you will get errors, but eventually one payment will go through and you will get an email 5-10 minutes later. For android try PayPal 🤞🏻

  @Mimpusheenuwu @Cutie__Factory PayPal can NOT act like a bank in your country because it has never been a business registered as a bank anywhere in the world. People might hwve THOUGHT it was a bank, but that is wrong and why lots of people are loosing lots of money due to account issues.
