  This whole #Outlier banning Nigerians saga is annoying. But let me shift your perspective to the bigger issue The system was never really designed with Nigerians in mind in the first place. Over the years, Nigerians have been blocked, restricted or heavily scrutinized on platforms like: PayPal receiving Stripe Atlas Wise Mercury Outlier TikTok Creativity Program Certain US fintech apps The painful reality is that once Nigeria enters the conversation online, many global systems immediately switch into fraud-prevention mode. That stigma is affecting millions of honest, talented Nigerians trying to work globally. This is bigger than VPNs. It’s a reputation and trust crisis attached to an entire country.

  @MoviesWorldw @AskPayPal A locked user error usually means the account is under a security restriction. Avoid repeated password reset attempts for now. Since you still have access to the registered email, keep it secured and monitor for security notices. Let me know if anything changes, or contact me

  @she_JD14 Maybe it was just for fun because they said it took them months to plan this but the car chassis broke them when they were in Cameroon , Toyota SA offered them a new Hilux they turned it down and opened a Paypal account for donations to fix Edna

  @Love2shop_UK I’ve been charged twice on PayPal for an e-gift card but the transaction hasn’t gone through on your website, and your ‘contact’ options are also not working- online chat button does nothing and the ‘email’ option says to ‘try again later’.

  Being CFO isn't always formal meetings and spreadsheets. Sometimes it's managing a full-blown payment crisis from Thailand, too. Two payment rails went dark in the same week, and PayPal got blocked. The primary bank stopped receiving payments, both at the same time. Here's what actually happened.. We're mid-migration, moving assets across geographies, and the system flagged it automatically. The bank issue was on their end. But when two of your main ways to move money go down at once, you don't get to wait around for an explanation. Especially not from a beach in Phuket. So we shifted our affiliate payments to a new format that we were already planning to build anyway. Incoming payments were rerouted to the secondary bank we had set up and running. >No affiliate missed a payment. >No customer was affected. The whole team held it together quietly while it was happening. This was a lesson worth remembering, so we extended the runway, cleaned up some operational gaps, and put buffers in place while waiting for the revenue from our investments to kick in. Sometimes you build these buffers not because you expect chaos. You build them because chaos can just be another Tuesday. Even when that Tuesday is in Thailand. All systems are stable, our affiliates are paid, and payments are flowing. So if you're building and haven't set up your secondary rails yet, do it before you need them.

  @leeminoot Hi lei.. with my first order I waited for an hour and it was still processing and after sometime the app just restarted. The order is not appearing in my order history. But eximbay email (like PayPal) has order number and I can see that order if use that order number. I haven’t received any refund (it’s been an hour or more infact) which means that the order is confirmed it’s just not tagged to my account. If you have not received an order I suggest raise an inquiry because I think the issue is with tagging the order to an account. Do you have the order number in the bank email or message by any chance, you can use that. Sorry for the lengthy reply🫣

  paypal website on mobile browser doesn't support passkey for some reason... like, no prompt or anything. it does ask creating a new one after logging in with password though, overwriting the existing one in the password manager if accepted 🤨 (and still can't use it to login)

  @CHARLIEBOT34 I don't think so as I've had my card work. I ordered Swerve a few weeks ago with it. But whenever I get that specific error I switch to PayPal.

  Saint John: Evernode 1:1 Freedom (@AverageJohnEVR) reported 26 minutes ago

  The utility of bitcoin has always, to me, been to force the governments of the world to give the humanity what they deserve, self-sovereignty. Bitcoin cured many ills in the world by bringing us all together and giving us all a clear view of how the traditional banking tyrannists are abusing media and other platforms to brainwash the population into accepting that they have no place to store their productivity for future needs. Bitcoin broke us free from traditional finance slavery, no more do we have to put in 10 times more value than we get back, no more are we forced to get down on our knees and beg our bankers to let us use our own money, no more are we locked to monetary policies inflating our savings away, no more do we need to worry about reversed transactions… And trust me, reversed transactions were one of the biggest reasons bitcoin grew big in the first place. Once upon a time we were making business with each other through paypal and skrill, and it was not an uncommon thing to get our funds frozen and stolen. It was not an uncommon thing to get screwed over by creditcard hijackers and other conartists. Bitcoin saved us from this aswell. But it hasn’t been easy… Today we have valuable assets on blockchains. But it was a bloody battle to reach this point. Me and my friends used to count how many fiat bank accounts we were frozen at. We used to count how many (faulty) police filings for money laundering we had against us… The onboarding of retail during the bitcoincore days were a challenge, we hung out on irc and we educated each other on lanparties… We counted heads, every single new face was a reason to celebrate, and the statistics of the bitcointalk forums were closely followed. I am one of few that managed to stay out of trouble, I almost got sent to jail for money laundering but I prevailed my case. A couple of friends have died along the way and a few others have fled to europe. It truly hasn’t been easy. Today, everything we bled for is being sucked up by scamcoins and VCs… The cryptocurrency industry is solely being used to fundraise venture capitalists and other scammers. Most of the new coins we see are indirectly created by VCs, they are followed by a fancy website and a big exchange listing that generates a pump and a VC dump. After that, all the people that bought the pump are forced to slave and promote their shitcoin to their friends and family, and the only winners are the VC’s. VC’s are here to eat our pie, they always leave with more money than they join in with. So do scammers and meme coiners. The last remaining thing I will do before I die or before I vanish into the shadows is to bless the world with decentralized hosting. I welcome you all to be a part of that, if you still believe in the fundamentals of crypto -Empowering humanity. Evernode is the name of the last project we will ever see in our lifetimes where retail can buy in at the bottom and enjoy the ride for an eternity. It has a low supply in combination with a low price, in combination with a low inflation rate, in combination with predictable halvings. The magic of this project is that it is actually useful, it actually solves things, it actually is valuable, and best of all it is based on a clean capitalistic free market where the invisible hand solves all the obstacles. The network consist of nodes, and each node operator is getting rewarded in EVRs. To get rewarded they have to offer a certain amount of computing power (minimum 4 vcpu, 8gb ram and like 250 gb ssd). The reward exist to incentivize node operators to run the network. But it’s not just about running a network, it’s much more. Each node have ”instances”, and these instances can be rented by network users. When you rent an instance you can use it for whatever you need it for. You can run a website, you can run a bitcoin RPC, you can create a decentralized application for whatever you want, or simply use it to execute orders based on inputs. Example of decentralized hosting: If I want to run a decentralized website that nobody would ever be able to take down, I would host my website on evernode and combine it with a nomadic smart contract and a dynamic DNS. This would mean that my website is moving from node to node, forever, of course until I or random donators stop paying evr for it. While moving from node to node, I make sure the website sends a signal to a dynamicDNS provider, that way I can keep pointing my A record for my domain.tld to the newest node. Of course, I could also just boot up the website on multiple nodes and use a round robin approach, but never the less, since I can decide what countries and what nodes to run my website on, it’s untouchable. The value of this network is incredible, and we will need it to fight the risk of centralized exchanges getting a pure ********** over the markets, this is where the smart contracts get in. Evernode smart contracts: The network got thousands of nodes, if you rent 5 nodes that are independent of eachother, and you force these nodes to shake hand before they execute an order… Then that gives us smart contracts for everything, and the order can be executed based on anything. On evernode instances you can install bitcoin nodes, and you can then send a bitcoin transaction when your instances shake hand about something. What they shake hand about is up to you or the developer to decide. It could be based on the temperature today or based on a webshop sending a payment call. The key here is that we get automated bitcoin transactions on our own terms! Sophisticated programmability for bitcoin has been solved this way. We can create our own decentralized bitcoin exchanges with this methodology. We can price match peer to peer traders with eachother directly on a trading platform, we can even use cexes and price match to cexes and other on/off ramps. This way we can manage to battle the centralized exchange control over our funds (It’s getting really bad and really concentrated, this is a serious problem.)

  @cb_doge $180m after paypal and he still had to borrow for rent after dumping it all back in. most people cash out at 10% of that and call it a win. the difference wasn’t just the money it was treating the whole stack like seed capital for problems nobody else wanted to touch. space, evs, solar all looked like charity cases in ‘02-‘08. that level of skin in the game is why the upside compounded instead of just sitting in a brokerage account collecting dust
