  @n1after40 Unfortunately, this issue is on the provider's side. They are already working on an update, so we'll see what they come up with. In the meantime, card payments, PayPal, and cryptocurrency payments are all working without any issues.

  2.9% feels like a rounding error until you run it across a year. bill $90,000 through stripe or paypal and about $2,600 disappears into processing fees. nothing wrong with paying it, but most freelancers have never seen the annual total. ever added up a full year of fees?

  Elon Musk said 2008 was definitively the worst year of his life going through a divorce while simultaneously watching his companies crumble. By 37, Musk had burned through his entire PayPal fortune funding two companies at once. Tesla's early Roadster had quality problems and was hemorrhaging cash. SpaceX had failed three consecutive launches. What was supposed to happen: build rockets, change space, build electric cars, and change the automobile industry. What actually happened: three explosions and an empty bank account. In Musk's framing: "We were running on fumes at that point. We had virtually no money. A fourth failure would have been absolutely game over." Flight 4 launched September 28, 2008. It was flawless. Musk on what happened next: "NASA called and told us that we'd won a $1.5 billion contract. I couldn't even hold the phone. I just blurted out, I love you guys." Two days later, on Christmas Eve, Tesla's investors closed their round. "So you were saved in a period of three days by two completely unexpected events. Yeah. Merry Christmas. Yeah, absolutely." PS.

  @ssamgum Honestly, I don’t even know what to do at this point. PayPal isn’t supported in our country, so I’m already dealing with enough issues using Payoneer. Calling support probably won’t help either the only thing that might actually work is live chat, but that option is turned off.

  @HasanEssam29636 Your fundraiser can only accept payment by paypal. That is funny because the rest of the chuffed fundraisers let you pay directly by card. I think some people like me are facing trouble with paypal and so can't donate.

Why don't you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You'll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

  @Shrty7081 when I cash out, it takes about 8 days to go into my paypal account! I have noticed a glitch, for example, if you have $50 processing & if I cash out again before the $50 pays out, I will get everything at once & don't hv to wait 8 days for the 2nd payment

  @Larktrades @SolanaCasinos Yes, but sometimes people run into issues. I hope to bring PayPal back as soon as possible and add even more payment methods. Most payment issues come from the banking side. From a technical standpoint, our system is working exactly as intended.

  Bob McGrew was an early engineer at PayPal, an early executive at Palantir and the Chief Research Officer at OpenAI. He just explained why the most important job in AI right now is one most people have never heard of. It is called a Forward Deployed Engineer. Here is what it actually means. An FDE is a technical engineer who lives at the customer's site. Not a sales engineer. Not a solutions consultant. An engineer who builds things on location to solve problems the customer did not know how to articulate before someone showed up and started asking questions. Palantir invented the model because the intelligence community could not be sold to with a standard product demo. The problems were classified. The workflows were unique. The only way to figure out what actually worked was to go inside and build. The model has two teams working in parallel. Echo Team. Embedded analysts who manage the relationship and identify the real problem underneath the problem the customer thinks they have. Delta Team. Engineers who prototype and build solutions to that real problem on site, fast. Here is why every serious AI startup is now copying this model. With AI agents there is no incumbent product. Nobody knows what good looks like yet. You cannot demo a product that does not exist against a workflow the customer has not yet imagined. You have to go in, observe, build something rough, show it, and iterate until something creates genuine desire. McGrew calls this doing things that don't scale at scale. You build something custom for one customer. You watch what works. Then you generalize it into a platform feature that ships to everyone. The gap between what AI can do and what companies are actually using it for is the largest technology adoption gap in history right now. The FDE model is how serious companies are closing it.
