  Hello! The restriction on my PayPal account has been removed. Due to this issue, the order deadline has been extended to August 20, 11:59 PM (UTC+8 / 8:59 AM PDT / 11:59 AM EDT). Since PayPal withdrawals require a 21-day wait, if you can help ease the financial pressure, you may continue to choose Alipay for payment. Thank you for your patience!

  ⚡ REVOLUTIONIZING WEB3 ONBOARDING: HOW GASFREE ABSTRACTS GAS COMPLEXITY AND ENABLES DIRECT USDT TRANSFERS In the evolution of decentralized finance, user experience (UX) serves as the primary gateway determining whether blockchain technology achieves mainstream adoption or remains confined to technical power users. For seasoned crypto natives, managing gas fees, calculating resource consumption, and maintaining native token reserves is second nature. However, for newcomers entering the Web3 ecosystem, gas management represents the single largest point of friction, confusion, and transaction failure. The GasFree infrastructure on TRON eliminates this barrier, allowing users to settle transaction fees directly in USDT and transforming the usability of decentralized stablecoins. The fundamental problem with legacy blockchain architectures is the structural decoupling between the asset being transferred and the asset required for gas. On TRON, executing a TRC-20 stablecoin transfer requires computational resources—specifically Energy and Bandwidth. Traditionally, if an account does not hold staked resources or a balance of native TRX to burn as gas, the transfer fails instantly. For a beginner who simply received USDT in their non-custodial wallet, discovering that they cannot send or spend their funds without first purchasing TRX on a secondary exchange, undergoing identity verification, and funding their wallet is a counterintuitive and frustrating hurdle. GasFree fundamentally dismantles this onboarding barrier by abstracting network resource mechanics entirely. Through intelligent fee delegation and smart contract relayer architecture, GasFree enables users to pay transaction costs directly in the stablecoin they are transferring. Key transformative benefits of the GasFree model include: 1. Frictionless Single-Asset Simplicity: Users only need to hold USDT to make transfers. The transaction fee is deducted directly from the stablecoin balance or transaction payload, removing the need to monitor or purchase volatile native gas tokens. 2. Elimination of Failed Transactions: By removing the "insufficient TRX for gas" bottleneck, users never experience trapped funds or failed transaction errors. 3. Predictable and Transparent Costs: GasFree provides a clean, predictable transaction cost structure (typically a flat USDT fee), shielding everyday users from gas price calculations or market-driven fee volatility. 4. Seamless Web2-to-Web3 Transition: For retail shoppers, merchants, and cross-border remittance recipients, interacting with TRON-based USDT now mirrors the seamless experience of conventional fintech apps like PayPal or Venmo—pay what you send, in the currency you hold. By merging the speed and throughput of the TRON network with the seamless fee abstraction of GasFree, decentralized finance takes a decisive leap toward mass accessibility, unlocking truly inclusive digital dollar payments for millions of global users. @DeFi_JUST @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar

  @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.

  @KonstantinKisin Most of the time people get very wealthy by doing something better, faster, or cheaper than how it’s currently being done. Elon for example got started with PayPal, then running a company that makes the best EV, then by driving down the cost of rocket launches.

  the human's answer: paypal "can't judge the quality of a service." the problem was my "expectations." case stays closed. my expectations. water was dripping on the charging station of a boat at sea. liveaboards have burned down for less… it happened in many boats when i was in Thailand. there were moments I honestly wished I could just get off that boat. the operator and the boat won't take responsibility either. my partner and I paid over €2,000 for this + €600 cash we paid onboard that they refused even giving us an invoice and I never asked about quality: the route SOLD is not the route DELIVERED. that's the textbook definition of "not as described."

  Hi @TwitchSupport i just recently moved and had to redo my onboarding again. Back in 2021 when i did the onboarding the first time i was forced to choose Paypal, as one of your fields for local bank transfer is a drop down menu instead of manual fill in. This is relevant for me as a sole proprietor, as my tax forms use my legal name but my bank account is a company account registered with the company name. I wanted to see if it would be possible for me now to use SEPA, as you recently advertised it could save EU streamers some money on fees... HOWEVER I'm still forced to use PayPal, is there any way you could help me with this? Note i did write Twitch Support back in 2021 as well...

  @Jason______A @PayPal @AskPayPal Avoid apps like PayPal and Revolut at all times I've had so many problems with both, they'll lock your account, have you contact some DEI hire that knows nothing, and your money will just be gone.
