  @AgnostikGnostik dont worry about it as long as its clear on your profile on both paypal and ko-fi that its donations - it wont be an issue. at first you may have to wait a bit for funds to clear unfortunately. and it also has a option to say its digital delivery.

  @PayPal PayPal @PayPalSupport Your digital systems are completely broken and supporting fraud. eBay officially ruled in my favor on July 29 for item 168207396673 (corporate fraud device) and voided the purchase. Yet PayPal refuses to redund …

  Elon Musk had already made $200 million and was burning through it to keep three companies alive. He explained exactly how in a 45-minute closed-door talk at Stanford in 2003. The recording is on YouTube. Almost no founder has watched it in a decade. Today Musk is worth roughly $400 billion. That is a 2,000x personal net worth increase in twenty-two years. The talk in this video is Musk explaining, from age 32, exactly how he intended to survive the next few years long enough to make it happen. At the time he had three companies. Zip2 had already been sold to Compaq for $307 million. PayPal had just been sold to eBay for $1.5 billion. SpaceX was one year old and burning cash. He was worth roughly $200 million and had just committed the majority of it to keeping SpaceX alive. The 2003 Stanford Entrepreneurship Corner recording is 45 minutes. Musk covers his framework in four parts. Find direction. Do not build what you think other people want. Build what you would use yourself. Everything else is a market research problem, and market research is almost never how new markets are found. Control costs. Do the physics. Every SpaceX component was priced against the raw material cost of its inputs. If the ratio was more than three, he built it in-house instead of buying it. Stay alive. In a war of attrition the last money left in the account wins. When PayPal was near zero he stopped taking a salary, refused strategic investors who wanted control, and cut every discretionary line item to zero. Break down problems with first principles. Do not reason by analogy. Do not defer to what an industry currently believes. Rebuild the problem from the physical constraints and see what falls out. "When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor." That is Musk in a 2013 interview repeating a line he first used in the Stanford talk ten years earlier. It has been quoted in almost every founder biography since. Every top-selling startup book of the last two decades borrows from this framework. The recording is free. The books are not. Almost every founder on X quotes Musk while running their company on the opposite of what he taught in this room. The talk is free. The four rules fit on a napkin. The willingness to actually do the physics on a business you are running instead of another pitch deck is a much rarer commodity than the framework itself.

  @MariaGraceVT Thanks Maria. I don’t really know what the costs will entail at this time, and what items lost we will feel necessary to replace. So I’m not even sure what I would ask for. I have a PayPal. But you’ve had your own home issues. 🫂

  @metacolt1 @CardPurchaser Ebay barely protect sellers at all. You can just say it doesnt work, is broken with minimal evidence and they will side with you instantly, worse if you used paypal.

  @bashildy Do you remember when Katrina happened and they raised money and Paypal shut their fundraiser down? 2005 was a helluva year.

  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

  @TomasCorax @hearnimator I will pay you $100 for every factual error in the article. So you can get an unlimited amount. You pay me $100 if there are no errors. PayPal or Venmo, your choice. Sounds like easy money to me!

  @PayPal Placed an international @Etsy order that took 28 days to arrive damaged & missing items. To keep buyer protection, I should've escalated to PayPal day 1 to freeze seller funds. Giving them time to send a replacement exceeded that window. 30 days is wild with how slow Etsy can be.

  Follow up on my problems with Meta. The azzwipe who hacked my FB account also tried to steal $260 something, according to PayPal. Working it out with PayPal, I think. But I’m furious. IF I ever rejoin FB I’ll change my passwords once a month. Changing others this weekend as I have time. 😡
