SteamboatSundog (@SteamboatSun22) reported@DrGuitar Many times. Guitars, processors, PA systems. Always great service. Only one issue. Shipped to wrong address, but my fault for not updating the address in PayPal.

Alchemist - τ (@SubnetSummerT) reportedAI agents are now cheaper than a burger flipper at McDonald's. An agent running 24/7 costs ~$400/year. A minimum wage worker costs ~$15,000. That's 100x cheaper. And they never clock off. Every major payments company on earth — Google, PayPal, Shopify, Stripe, Coinbase, Visa — built AI agent infrastructure in a 6 month window. This isn't a trend. It's a transition. But here's the problem nobody is talking about: Who are these agents actually working for? Amazon's secret Project Nessie algorithm quietly rigged prices and generated $1B in extra profit. The FTC and 17 states are now suing them. Now imagine that same misalignment running across billions of agents managing your health, finances and education. Open source won't fix this alone. Transparency without accountability doesn't produce the best agents it produces abandoned code with no consequences for failure. The real solution? Competitive evaluation with real economic incentives. That's exactly what Bittensor enables. An open arena where agents compete on measurable outcomes, the scores are public, and the best rise to the top through merit not corporate alignment. Oro is already proving it works. They beat OpenAI on one of the hardest shopping evals in just 3 weeks of being live. This is what aligned AI infrastructure looks like. 👇

Another Daniel (@danielchapman) reported@JNeedem In Elon’s case he wanted to give back after his PayPal windfall but didn’t have enough to make the impact he wanted. He found another way to achieve that impact: by starting two companies that address the two problems using the marketplace instead philanthropy, which ironically made him even more money.

Griff Green - griff.eth (@griffgreen) reported@lex_node "it's even worse in terms of the potential for harm as it has no due process, policies, legal accountability, etc." This is where you are so objectively wrong it's hard to take you seriously. Paypal is shutting down people's accounts & stealing their money all the time. They use all their legal BS to justify it. Security Councils (& other crypto power systems, e.g. mining pools, node operators etc.) basically never do it. The exceptions prove the rule.

RiseWithin (@wholeWwellnes) reported@nikitabier @nikitabier Fair point on the heuristic, the PayPal-era lesson makes sense for spotting obvious bad actors who overreact when their exploits get shut down. That said, many of us who post original content and give consistent algorithm feedback aren't gaming the system. We're just trying to understand visibility drops, payout shifts, and what actually resonates now so we can create better. Vocal feedback helped shape improvements on other platforms, too. Would love more transparency (e.g., clearer impression breakdowns, flags, or "why this post reached X% verified users") to separate real signals from noise. That way, the platform keeps rewarding genuine creators while cleaning up fraud without collateral frustration. Appreciate the hard work pushing back on repost farms and low-effort stuff, just hoping the fixes evolve with input from those of us in the middle.

Vmijo31 (@Namita3110) reported@DKBKCalendar Im trying to check out but any method I use I get an error. For credit cards: “an error occurred while processing your card” and this is for different ones. When I click PayPal that doesn’t open up either. Can you help me out?
