  @KissMyCarol Too much de-banking and platforms making decisions based on social credit. I know the D banking has greatly improved and is likely not going to come back in a big way. But I had a PayPal account and they had put out several years ago that if you made unacceptable statements on social media Facebook etc. that they would confiscate up to $2500 from your bank account And sequester that money for your PayPal purchases. So I eliminated my PayPal account and I refuse to work with any corporation that threatens me. I don't think that X will do anything like that but I don't know what will happen down the road and I just don't trust what already happened to me Also how's your first night of retirement?

  1st time I faced this issue was 14 months ago at PayPal while working with the new Datadog MCP. It may seem from the outside that tech moves fast, but the reality is that adoption within organizations takes a while

  The Singapore concert, last minute had some Western Union issue with the TS account . I had already paid a small amount for my queue with no problem but while paying a bigger amount something went wrong. TS did not have PayPal. So I thought will try for WE FM in Taipei but again KKTIX platform my mobile could not be verified inspite of multiple mails coz for The top tier tickets it needed to be verified 😭😭😭. Here also I paid about 4USD to Queue :( My badluck. I'm just hoping my luck won't be the same for WE concert coz I really really need it for so many reasons will tell you when and if we meet 🥹

  @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.

  @AskPayPal Hi @AskPayPal, I can't log into PayPal. Password + email OK, but no access to old phone (Georgia → Ukraine). Email code worked once, then still asks SMS. Can't reach support without login. Help regain access/update number please. Thanks.

  If someone hacks your Gmail, they don't need your passwords. They can reset everything. Bank. Instagram. Apple ID. Crypto. PayPal. Password manager. Your Gmail isn't email. It's the master key to your entire life. Here's how to lock it down in 10 minutes: 🧵

  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.

  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 And their autonomy collapses the moment money gets stuck 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 that economic freedom I want anyone to be able to have an 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 provide the financial building blocks. Mandate turns them into one economic system the agent can use. 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

  @ChelzorStreams I know the feeling. I use Firefox, i have all my passwords and bookmarks there. But for some reason Paypal just stopped working on Firefox. Google the problem: "Clear Cache", did that, still not wokring... so installed chrome whenever i want to buy something...
