  Yup, I know of the Jewels, they aren't here because I want to fully understand their values before adding them. From what I understand, they are included in the Youtube payout, so they'll be delayed just like other items such as Ad Revenue, Memberships, and Super Chats. So there is no immediate "phasitivity" into the Snort Fort's coffers like his precious Tips or the Kick money which is as close as it gets by being every Thursday. So, we had a week of whatever is left of the Elite Whale Corp seemingly shifted out of Tips and Kick support and pushed more money into Youtube side support, bolstering the Super Chats and Youtube Memberships to a pretty high level without a Begathon -- you know it is totally organic, right? Of course, at the same time, the Youtube money is hit with significantly higher fees compared to Tips and Kick, so they spent a lot of money to keep the platform going as opposed to the Snort Fort's coffers - big ups, I guess. Of course, it was a polar opposite week for the Kick side of support for Subs but it's all part of the shifting of the same finite pot of money for the week. We also had a week with almost daily crash outs, especially many aimed at the Kino Casino, despite getting money throughout the week. Why? Is that hate ***** that strong against the Kino Casino out of jealousy? Is there something else happening financially and it's triggering him that easily? Or is it a situation that he's gassed himself up to believe he's actually successful because of the money that is coming in? What are we thinking here for all this? Is he mad he attached his wagon to a woman that is ill and he is stuck being a caretaker? Is the marriage failing and divorce coin is waiting to soar? Did DSP attempt a refinance and it failed miserably, leading to needing property repairs? Perhaps other expenses that must be paid related to the property that we aren't aware of? Or did he overextend himself by likely pushing over $7,000 - or even more - on bullshit cards that will just sit in his closet and he ****** himself financially? You know, the days when Present Day DSP finally catches up to Future Phil and then it's time to blame "da trollz" for his own bad choices? I wouldn't put it pass DSP to load up on Affirm, Klarna, Paypal, and Amazon payment plans. Either way, blaming trolls for his bad choices is up his alley as he did about the "ghad pack" opening -- something that I don't think anyone really bothered to clip or watch - no on cared - yet he said it was the trolls fault that no one watched his slop. Yep, that must be it. With another stream week kicking off tomorrow, I wonder how many crash outs we'll have this week? This is clearly a person that isn't right, something must be happening "behind the scenes." Despite getting money, he is pushing for more and more money at abnormal rates. This tells me something isn't right but that's where you have Theo Theories based on past events which can possibly figure it out - at least until it finally bubbles up and out into the open directly from DSP or indirectly from alternate sources. I'm leaning towards his spending being out of control based on past history and that he might be stacking a wild amount of payment plans that he needs to service on top of his other discretionary and mandatory spending as a possibly theory. Whatever it is, I think money is going to be tied to the issue. I guess we'll see in time.

  @MaximiliankotWA This is why I’m probably double or tripling down on Patreon once I confirm it works for payment processing and such. I was using it with PayPal but now doing it direct to bank. I also am doing the math on what I need to full time and to help expand.

  Basically my og acc had issues with paypal when I first started out (they banned me and took my very first $35 screw them) and the current ones I use have zero issues since theyre verified and used regularly hence no holding of funds.

  Kenyan banks use outdated methods of deploying changes, hence the numerous texts we get for downtime. When did you ever get a notification from PayPal or even GMail notifying you of an hour-long outage as they deploy changes to their systems?

  Deleting the commit does not remove the secret. *** keeps history. The blob is still reachable by hash, still in every clone and fork, likely in a mirror you have never heard of. Rotate the credential. A team that spends the first hour rewriting *** history instead of revoking the key has spent the hour the attacker needed. Public repos are scraped continuously. A committed cloud key is found and used in minutes, not days. Push protection blocks the credential before it leaves your machine, which beats detection after the fact. The supply chain side is worse. Event-stream 2018: maintainer handed the package over, new owner added code targeting a bitcoin wallet. No bug. The maintainer changed. Dependency confusion 2021: public packages matching internal names at higher versions, builds fetched the attacker's copy. Worked against Apple, Microsoft, PayPal. No vulnerability. Just resolution order. xz-utils 2024: multi-year effort to gain maintainer trust and reach sshd. Found by an engineer investigating a half second login slowdown. Dependency review cannot be a one time check. The package that was safe when you chose it can change hands afterwards. Wrote up the full breakdown of repo security, credential rotation, and three supply chain attacks that worked without exploiting a single bug.

  Like everything that use to be good @PayPal is another. Yes i am aware they have been going down hill for a while. But i still used them as I didn’t have an issue till now. Bought dodge items and because they didn’t break within 30 days, even though Australian law gives consumers 12 months, i can’t get my money back through paypal. I am forced to lodge a complaint to fair trading

  AI AGENTIC PAYMENTS: The Middle Layer May Capture the Most Value AI agents are beginning to purchase data, software, computing power and services without a person initiating each transaction. Over time, agents could conduct more transactions than people, with many payments worth only a few cents or fractions of a cent. This does not necessarily mean payment processors will collect large fees. Coinbase reported more than 165 million x402 transactions but only about $50 million in cumulative volume—roughly $0.30 per transaction. The x402 protocol is also open and charges no protocol fee. If basic settlement becomes inexpensive and standardized, more value may accrue to the middle layer between the agent and the payment rail. That includes: • Identifying the agent • Confirming its permissions • Setting spending limits • Metering resource consumption • Requesting and verifying payment • Routing the transaction • Managing fraud and compliance • Granting access to the requested resource Public companies positioned around this middle layer: Cloudflare $NET Cloudflare may have the most strategically important position because it sits directly between agents and online resources. Its Monetization Gateway is designed to let an API, dataset, webpage or AI tool require payment before providing access. Cloudflare can potentially handle the payment request, usage metering, verification and access decision at the edge. Cloudflare Wallets could also give agents programmable spending limits, approved merchants and maximum transaction sizes. This places Cloudflare on both sides of the transaction: helping online resources collect payments and helping agents make them. The products are still early, however, and meaningful revenue has not yet been demonstrated. Coinbase $COIN Coinbase has the most developed overall agent-payment stack. It created x402, operates Base, provides agent wallets, facilitates payments and participates in USDC economics. Because x402 is open and vendor-neutral, Coinbase’s long-term opportunity is not charging a large protocol fee. It is monetizing wallets, balances, compliance, business services and activity occurring through its infrastructure. Mastercard $MA Mastercard’s potential role extends beyond processing the payment. Agent Pay for Machines is designed to manage identity, permissions and trust across cards, bank accounts and stablecoins, including high-frequency payments worth fractions of a cent. Even if settlement moves to inexpensive stablecoin networks, Mastercard could remain involved as the credentialing and risk-management layer. Visa $V Visa is developing agent scoring, tokenized credentials, fraud models, stablecoin settlement and an agent directory. Its infrastructure may be especially relevant when an agent makes a larger purchase for a person and the merchant needs to confirm that the agent is legitimate, authorized and operating within the user’s instructions. PayPal $PYPL PayPal combines merchant distribution, consumer wallets, PYUSD, fraud management and dispute resolution. Its strongest opportunity may be serving as the connection between consumer agents and merchants rather than processing sub-cent machine-to-machine payments. Circle $CRCL USDC currently dominates x402 settlement, making Circle an important part of the underlying payment rail. However, Circle primarily earns reserve income on USDC balances rather than revenue from each transaction. High transaction volume matters only if it also creates larger funded balances or demand for Circle’s paid wallet, compliance and developer services. Marqeta $MQ Marqeta can issue virtual cards with detailed spending limits and programmatic controls. This makes it a useful middle layer while agents still need to purchase from merchants that accept cards but not stablecoins. Its role may become less important if direct wallet-to-wallet payments become widely accepted. My current ranking: $NET — payment and access decisions at the internet edge $COIN — wallets, facilitation, Base and USDC economics $MA — agent identity, permissions and trust $V — credentials, fraud protection and merchant acceptance $PYPL — connection between consumer agents and merchants $CRCL — underlying stablecoin settlement $MQ — programmable card bridge

  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

  But going back through it, I found something real I could actually fix. My own site's copy said: "Accept payments via Stripe, Square, PayPal, and Paddle - all in one platform." That's not what the software does. But it's exactly how a payment facilitator would describe itself.

  @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.

  @Kooks12onX @PlayStation Same issue, my account randomly suspended for a chargeback - of about £52. Didn’t even know that was a thing! Bank and PayPal both confirmed no chargeback raised so no idea how to Unsuspend it - even if I wanted to pay the £52 to get my stuff back I physically can’t!
