  4. It was the exact same question people asked me a few years ago, before I made my ecommerce business successful and moved to Dubai; when I started testing payment platforms that actually offered real individual attention to the merchants who signed up. Believe me, the big payment companies and the scammers ones do not want any real proximity with businesses that simply appear out of nowhere. Frustrated after having thousands of dollars frozen across multiple platforms like Paddle, Commas, Lemon Squeezy, PayPal, Braintree, Square and several smaller ones, I decided to build my own payment gateway. I wanted to understand 100% how this market works and how to establish myself in it. After a few months, a group of developers and I created Arkus, a platform that until recently only served as a payment processor for a close group around me and my companies. Now it is being launched to the public for the first time, and it is specifically looking for legitimate merchants who want to scale but who, just like us, have suffered far too many problems with traditional payment gateways. If you want to be one of the first to receive special attention for your business, before we grow to a level where it becomes almost impossible not to use AI to manage risk for every account, comment “ARKUS” to get personal attention from me, not just from our team.

  Privacy tools in crypto have become a compliance problem. Mixers co-mingle funds with unknown counterparties. You can't verify who you're transacting with. Zcash works, but only for one token on one chain. Institutions don't want mixers. They want a decentralized PayPal. Non-interactive cryptographic proofs can auto-generate a unique stealth address for every transaction. Counterparty verified. Nothing hits the public ledger. Works across every major chain.

  Of course I have no proof other than my guy lol PayPal is strict but ...Yes and no, the no isn't in the sense where they are doing something wrong. However, they only issue income tax papers IF they have a business number for her. They don't require this at least from Ontario Canadians BC there is an income earned threshold where we HAVE TO have a buness number. PayPal can and does ask but again it's not required until they ask for it. I've a business account for 2 decades. They asked me for a business number only 6-7 months ago.

  @Drinkooor @GrapheneOS Thanks, but this should come with a caveat that old reports likely aren't applicable anymore. It lists Revolut and PayPal as compatible, I tried the latter recently and it gives an error about phone being rooted.

  @lalafellian Yeah I mean maybe if you installed from steam initially it won't be an issue, but since I directly got the ft from sqex and then bought it off of steam bcs mogstation doesn't accept PayPal, I had to reinstall everything on top of having to redo my controller schematics

  @DhawaleVikrant I really don't care People who are worried about CJP's foreign funding are the guys who think protest is illigitimate The cause is real, 25+ kids have died, this was 152nd paper leak under Pradhan. Over 1L kids have died in last 12 yrs. There are issues related to UGC implementation + resevation.... If these are regular thing for you then you don't want accountability or change and then you should spend your energy on finding source of funds Btw not a single $ can enter via traditional routes (WIRE, SWIFT, PAYPAL....) without govt knowing it. Crypto was a loophole which has been now completely plugged. All transactions have a purpose code. Govt knows everything They just behave retardedly for their retarded supporters

  @PayPal PayPal @PayPalSupport Your digital systems are completely broken and supporting fraud. eBay officially ruled in my favor on 07/29 for item 168207396673 (corporate fraud device) and voided the purchase. Yet PayPal refuses to reconcile the refund and is trying to force an illegal

  - you or someone around is twisting their ankle - trying out new hairstyles (you’ll hate them but love one in particular) - no, that trip won’t solve your problems but it will clear your head - your bank/paypal glitching and holding your money - your clientele is increasing!

  How to validate your idea with $0: 1. Find 10 strangers with the exact problem. Reddit, LinkedIn, Slack groups, X. Not friends. Strangers have no reason to be polite. 2. Ask what they're currently doing to solve it. If the answer is nothing, the problem isn't painful enough. 3. Ask what it's costing them. If they can't quantify it fast, the pain isn't real enough to build on. 4. Offer to solve it manually before you build anything. Spreadsheet, Notion, Zoom. If they say yes, you have a customer. If they say "I'll wait for the product," you have nothing yet. 5. Ask for $50 upfront toward the eventual product. Stripe link, PayPal, whatever. If they won't commit even that, the problem isn't painful enough. 6. Do it 10 more times. One is a coincidence. Three is a pattern. Ten is something to build on. The goal isn't to prove you're right. It's to find out where you're wrong before you've wasted six months.

  I've been putting off writing this. Asking for help in public is not something I ever wanted to do. But I have a two year old and a four month old, and pride doesn't pay rent. Yesterday we got an eviction notice. We were two days late. Ten days to pay or we're out. Rent is just under $1,700. The apartment manager will work with us if we can put something toward it. My contract pay comes in weekly and I'm putting what I can spare from it straight into rent. Every dollar paid reduces what's owed, and whatever's left gets added on top of September and October rent, which we already can't cover, so paying it down now is the only thing that keeps this from getting worse. Here's how we got here. Our baby was born in April. My wife has had health complications since the birth and hasn't been able to return to work. Her maternity leave and short term disability have both run out. She's seeing a doctor this month, because right now she physically can't do her job, and we have no family in this city to help with the kids. Childcare costs more than we're bringing in. I lost my mom at the end of February. I still haven't had a real chance to sit with that. I've been job hunting since January. Locally I keep hearing I'm overqualified, and I get it, they assume I'll leave the moment something better shows up. I've applied for customer service roles I've done before and gotten nowhere. I've made it to final rounds more times than I want to count and walked away with nothing. I had another interview yesterday and gave it everything I had. On top of that, her company had payroll problems for months. We eventually got everything she was owed, but it came weeks and months late, and I took out loans to keep us afloat in the meantime. Those payments are still hitting every month. I did find contract work. It doesn't cover our bills, but I'm working extended hours and taking what I can get. Before posting this I called the community action agency, RIFA, Area Relief Ministries, the Red Cross, and 211. The rent assistance funding here ran dry back in March. There is nothing left in the local pipeline to catch us. We're going to have to move, either somewhere much cheaper or in with family in another state. What I need right now is to get through this month without my kids losing their home. I've asked family. Now I'm asking here. If you're able to help with rent, you can send it straight through X Money, Cash App, Venmo, or PayPal in the first reply Any amount helps, and it goes directly toward keeping my kids in this apartment. If you can't, that's alright. Sharing this so it reaches someone who can would mean just as much. And if all you did was read this far into a stranger's worst month, that mattered too. Thank you.
