  @IllusionaryOne @PreePonee @SassinatorSteph My account was hacked. 2 FA bypassed to change my payout to paypal and an unknown email, and recieved no update notice. Payout gets sent to them. I find out this is why I wasnt getting paid last month. However they have stated I wont get a refund since it was sent to the hackers paypal. And Twitch isnt liqbke despite their security failing. When I asked how to prevent or what to do I was told to turn on 2FA and change password. I did this, on top of disconnecting all accounts. Yet I had 2FA on and changed my password a few months back. I wont get my payout back. Yet asking what is being done I told we care about your issue and are investigating. But how is my 2FA still being enabled going to prevent this from happening in the future if i didnt even get notice my stuff was changed AND it bypassed the 2FA. How do I know I’m not going to lose my payout each month? It wasnt my fault and if Twitch isnt able to be held responsible…then how am I suppose to rely on Twitch’s security with my personal information and income to pay bills? 1 months pay gone and im paying for the security issue of Twitch with late fees, past due bills, and etc. I would like my payout and some sort of way to know I wont have to check my payout settings everyday,

  How to validate your idea with $0: 1. Find 10 strangers with the exact problem. Reddit, LinkedIn, Slack groups, X. Not friends. Strangers have no reason to be polite. 2. Ask what they're currently doing to solve it. If the answer is nothing, the problem isn't painful enough. 3. Ask what it's costing them. If they can't quantify it fast, the pain isn't real enough to build on. 4. Offer to solve it manually before you build anything. Spreadsheet, Notion, Zoom. If they say yes, you have a customer. If they say "I'll wait for the product," you have nothing yet. 5. Ask for $50 upfront toward the eventual product. Stripe link, PayPal, whatever. If they won't commit even that, the problem isn't painful enough. 6. Do it 10 more times. One is a coincidence. Three is a pattern. Ten is something to build on. The goal isn't to prove you're right. It's to find out where you're wrong before you've wasted six months.

  @LimzPicks @metrolosin @Betfred “he’s a liar but it’s not funny, if gambling has ruined his life then I don’t think we should be laughing at him, regardless of his errors” it’s literally this kind of empathy from complete strangers that is filling up his PayPal account with donations & because people don’t 4/.

  If you sell peptides, marketing isn't your biggest problem. Getting paid is. Stripe, PayPal, Square, they'll process transactions for a few weeks just fine. Then a routine review freezes the account, and the cash sitting in it gets held for 90 to 120 days. We've watched this happen to brand after brand. Here's what founders get wrong about why it happens: These processors aren't judging the brand's compliance. They're judging the category. Peptides get flagged on three things simultaneously: product risk, international shipping, and the RUO grey area. Being fully compliant doesn't exempt a brand from any of it. Here's what actually holds up: 1. Skip the mainstream processors entirely. Go high-risk from day one instead. That means paying 3.5% to 6% instead of the standard 2.9%, but that difference is the cost of staying online instead of frozen. 2. Guard the chargeback rate like it's the whole business, because it basically is. Cross 1% for two months running and the account is done. Clear product pages, fast refunds, and proactive shipping updates are what keep that number under control. 3. Never run on a single processor. Two or three processors running in parallel means revenue keeps moving the moment one of them freezes, instead of the entire business stalling out. Payments come before marketing, not after. The best ad account in the world is worthless if checkout can't actually take the money. Comment "PAYMENTS" and I'll send you our full payment processing guide for peptide brands.

  @CardCash On two occasions, I've gotten demand emails from your loss prevention team. Zero effort to get to the buttom of what happened. Just threats and PayPal invoice due immediately. I've sold tens of thousands worth of gift cards with zero issues. Unfortunately, there is no seller protection so I'll be closing my account and recommend everyone else do the same.

  Money becomes useless to an autonomous agent when it gets trapped in the wrong financial system An agent might: earn $500 through a checkout provider hold $200 in USDC have a card issued by another provider need to pay a SaaS merchant that only accepts cards Those are all "money" but operationally they are different islands Customer pays → money sits in Provider A Agent needs to spend → purchasing power exists in Provider B So WE (Humans) have to move/reconfigure/fund things for our AI agents An their autonomy breaks... The hard problem isn't giving an agent money It's making sure money earned in one system can become purchasing power in another without a human moving it Earn here → hold there → spend somewhere else → keep going An agent should be able to earn through one provider, hold value somewhere else, move that value when needed, spend through another rail, and keep reinvesting what it earns without a human stepping in to bridge the gaps My goal with Mandate is to give autonomous AI agents economic freedom I want anyone to be able to deploy intelligence that can create value, earn from that value, reinvest what it earns, and compound it into something bigger over time That's why Mandate had to be open source and provider agnostic No single financial provider covers every way an agent might earn, hold, move, or spend money One agent might receive revenue through Stripe, hold USDC in Coinbase, spend through Lithic, and use a bridge in between. Another might use entirely different providers Receive: Stripe / PayPal / stablecoins / marketplace payouts Hold: bank / financial account / wallet / stablecoin treasury Move: ACH / wire / bridge / onchain transfer Spend: card / bank transfer / stablecoin / x402 Mandate financial stack is composable: providers supply capabilities, Mandate connects them, and the agent sees one economic system You can connects whichever providers you choose into one continuous economic account Because autonomous agents won't operate in a crypto-only or fiat-only world. Crypto alone can't solve economic autonomy when most of the world an agent needs to operate in still runs on fiat, cards, and banks Fiat alone can't solve it either, because agents will increasingly use payment systems built for machine-to-machine commerce. The future is hybrid. The infrastructure has to be composable. I built Mandate so that an agent can operate across both as one continuous economy

  @quarter_clover PayPal and Stripe, both pose potential problems for artists. PayPal is easy to use but will drop artists over commission disputes. Stripe has a reputation for including personal info in receipts and billing, thus doxxing artists. This is not hearsay; I've had friends affected.

  A $500,000 check written in 2004 turned into more than a billion dollars by 2012. The same man watched his own hedge fund fall from $7 billion to about $350 million. His name is Peter Thiel. He is 58. He co-founded PayPal in 1998 and sold it to eBay in 2002 for $1.5 billion. Two years later he became the first outside investor in Facebook, taking 10.2 percent for half a million dollars. Then Clarium Capital, his global macro fund, peaked above $8 billion in 2008 and posted three straight losing years. Investors who stayed lost 65 percent from the peak. By 2011 the fund held roughly $350 million. So the man teaching you how to think about competition has been on both sides of being wrong in public. The framework fits on a napkin. Perfect competition destroys profit, so build the thing nobody else can offer. Start with a market small enough to dominate, then widen. Look for proprietary technology ten times better than the alternative, network effects, scale economics, and a brand people ask for by name. Value the last mover, not the first. "Competition is for losers." That is the title he put on a Wall Street Journal essay in September 2014, adapted from the book he wrote out of a Stanford class he taught in 2012. A student named Blake Masters posted his notes from that class online for free, and the notes went viral before the book existed. at the board it's simple. one company sold for $1.5 billion, one check compounded two thousand times, one fund down ninety-five percent from peak assets. the same brain produced all three. no magic. concentration into an idea almost nobody shares, held long enough to be measured. here is where it lines up with every founder reading this. you already know your product is a slightly better version of something people already buy. you will still call the crowded market validation, raise on comparables, and describe five competitors as proof of demand in the same deck where you claim to be different. the class notes are free. the essay is free. this talk is free. what nobody can sell you is the willingness to answer his actual question in writing: what important truth do very few people agree with you on. That willingness is the edge, and it costs an honest page, not another pitch deck.

  Privacy tools in crypto have become a compliance problem. Mixers co-mingle funds with unknown counterparties. You can't verify who you're transacting with. Zcash works, but only for one token on one chain. Institutions don't want mixers. They want a decentralized PayPal. Non-interactive cryptographic proofs can auto-generate a unique stealth address for every transaction. Counterparty verified. Nothing hits the public ledger. Works across every major chain.
