  Epicentral founder Tony on the roadmap to mainnet, and what has to happen first "I anticipate we'll go live on mainnet this year for sure. I couldn't tell you a specific time frame, but more than a couple of months out from now" "We need legal clarity and we need proper audits, and we can't do that unless we have money. That's the ultimate truth. We can't have this exist on Solana until we have those checks, because we're building a non custodial platform. We want to make sure all the audits are in check, the program is working fine, there's no back door" "On legal clarity, we're already seeing it with the CFTC and the SEC and the crypto roundtables they host, their leniency and open mindedness to innovative financial technology. If I had the opportunity to sit down with them today I'd say, how do we do this with your support, because it needs to exist" "We're already seeing Visa, PayPal and Western Union use Solana's architecture to settle payments. The same thing is going to happen with derivatives. On devnet we already have 120 users as of today, 2 million in options volume across 500 different trades. It's private access right now, but it'll go public beta within the next month or so" FT @TheLazySol @epicentral_ @8bitpenis

  @AskPayPal Hello @AskPayPal, I am trying to link a valid prepaid Visa/Mastercard to my account, but the system keeps declining it despite having a sufficient balance and matching details. Is there a general restriction on prepaid cards, or how can I fix this?

  @PayPal I just experienced the worst trauma. A freecreditscore just f'd me royally and managed to find a loop 🕳 to win to ach withdrawal from my PayPal account. I love your platform great app. Though. In losing. I paid back the provisional credit. Meanwhile, I felt there was deception and theft by extortion on this online business part. Just like when I was tricked to thinking I won a McDonald's $100 gift card. To think now in retrospect, McDonald's the company responsible for destruction of our rainforest. Did you know trees the length of two football fields are chopped down every hour. That's here and there. Mainly you know who else is sleeping in bed with our government. Instead of not getting the gift certificate as advertised, I got signed up with Affordable Obama Care that I was unaware off. I found this out by accident through the IRS. Just like PayPal sided with this online businesses that go phishing. I take that back. Engineering at best. You put burden of proof on me. Apparently, the business that took my $32 provided a better rebuttal. I don't get to look at their discovery. In good conscience, I paid back to PayPal. The end. For your perusal. I have already requested to close my account. But here is a caption, at my expense and humility, of why I have come to conclusion... Thank you for listening. Now I shall clean up my browser. Have a nice day.

  Hi @AskPayPal @PayPalPay, my account has been restricted because I haven't logged in for over 3 years. I’m trying to link my Visa card, but I’m getting an error. I don’t want to change my registered email or mobile number. Please help me reactivate my account. I can provide my reference details via DM.

  P. S. CA: $AliceBathory VM: AliceBathory *As my Paypal still is a serious problem, still overdrawn, & probably compromised—either Cashapp, Venmo, OR DMing me for my Wise / Zelle deets, is the best go-to . 🫶

  I have gone to the effort of stating I am willing to take payment through Paypal or Zelle if paying in cash is the problem, nothing. It's not like I have high priced items, most being half of ebay, all under $30 for the most part. Cleaning my bedroom out is just hard.

  Xcancel / nitter received cease and desist letters on 8/24 as well. Wonder if the PayPal mafia is shutting down the monopolized peasant internet before midterms: On Monday 24th August at 8PM EST, we received at letter from X Corp. asking to cease and desist the service XCancel.

  @noctemint It's actually not super hard to get a proxy to buy it for you! I use BuyTaiwan myself, and all you gotta do is send a request with a link, then they'll confirm with you and you pay them through PayPal. It'll be pricey cause shipping, but you can get them no problem~♡

  @SuzunaTsukimi Yeah, there have been multiple issues with this, I’m not sure if it’s a Kofi thing or PayPal. It’s always been there on my end but others were unable to see the option for PayPal, it only showed credit/debit card option. It most likely will only show that now.

  If I just let go of this client because of the PayPal issue, is that okay? I opened a new account, and within a few seconds, it was permanently limited.

  This restriction over on PayPal and Cash-app makes me think it’s a conspiracy to make crypto a viable option where they can’t touch it and you can sell without issue.

  @Sousinr @alexabelonix The fact that 180-day hold is recognizable enough to be called a PayPal classic is probably the problem makes having another payment route ready before anything happens feel a lot less optional.

  Michael Burry dumped $BABA few months ago and piled his cash into $JD. JD also happens to be my only remaining Chinese company in the portfolio, one that hasn't performed very well. I ran my shares-to-zero model and it's looking very solid: - with dividend intact, it would take roughly 9 years to reduce shares to zero - cut the dividend and we're down to only 7 years This has vibes of PayPal at $40, but then again... China.
