  THEY WANT KENYA FOR THE. SAME REASON THEY'VE TAKEN OVER CONGO... FOR OUR GOLD AND MINERALS. AND WE HAVE MORE THAN CONGO... THEY'VE just been removing it chini ya maji. but we got to woke. 2024 shook them. so they're litterally trying to dumb us down, make us poor, make us sick, to make us spiritually weak. and they found the PERFECT, weak, sick PUPPET who doesnt even have one leadership bone in his body. and they LOVE him. Pray for the ancestors to intervene. And if you're praying to Mzungu JESUS then you're praying for THEM TO WIN! The coloniser's god will take you back to colonialism and slavery coz... in my house, we with the ancestors. PayPal. M-Pesa

  The hardest part of agentic commerce isn't the payment. It's the trust. At Consensus in Miami, our VP & Head of BD @lei_lei0904 joined @csuitepodcast to break down what it actually takes to let AI agents transact safely. ▷ Agentic commerce is already here: x402 has crossed 100M transactions, and the space went from ~20 companies in 2024 to 500+ today, with Google, Stripe, PayPal, Amazon and Shopify all moving in. ▷ Trust can't be an afterthought: compliance and security have to be built in from day one, at the infrastructure level. That's what Agent Passport does, spend within the limits you set, with a kill switch you control. ▷ Payments have to move at machine speed: agent transactions are often API calls worth cents, where traditional rails charging 3% simply break. Building the trust layer for the agent economy. 🪁

  One night I had like 750 .ai domains in my dynadot cart but when I went to checkout I had to relink paypal and it wouldn’t let me login and my wallet was in the car so I was just like fck this ill do it later then I forgot to do it and a couple months later 70% of those names were taken a few of them have been sold for so much money now Prob lost a cool 800k because I didn’t want to go get my wallet out of my car When you can see the future it reduces the equation of success to effort=s But sometimes a ***** would rather enjoy himself because e=s is not the only equation in life to try and solve for

  @JoshOO1J @Weeleey6 Problem with PayPal is that some people registered with emails and names that don't match the credentials from payout they have integrated e.g You have Patrick mahoki name email but bank or mpesa has different name John Njuguna

  Paypal anti money laundering red flags are grossly oversensitive, some payments can't be proved with some document, or did Ruto govt issue a legal notice to Paypal to monitor Kenyan accounts??

  @vexmlk @PayPal We need to find other currency sites to use than one's covered by visa / mastercard and paypal but problem is that most sites don't accept other forms of payment. I started considering cashapp or something like it because then the invoices hit that before any card.

  The arrogance is the problem. PayPal wants African users, African transaction fees, African creators and African merchants, but often refuses to give them the same dignity, speed and reliability enjoyed by users in richer markets.

  @abuyamasta You are another imbecile?!!! Kenya is on FATF Greylist. We can blame Paypal all we want, but our issues starts with the regime that has allowed wash wash monies into the system. Till we are out of that list, international Financial firms will always have a keen look of Kenya

  @JoshOO1J Paypal issues are not related to race. They've be on that bullshit since the early 2000s.Their model is to hold as many millions as they can, for as long as they can, and profit via interest & other liquid investments. It's all buried in fine print that ****** don't care to read

  I have PayPal accounts in Kenya and the EU, and the difference is ridiculous. The Kenyan one gets blocked, restricted, and frozen so often that it is basically useless. Even after sending the documents they ask for and answering their endless questions, the account still gets treated like a crime scene. They keep escalating the documents needed to keep the Kenyan account operational and to send and receive basic money. Surprisingly, I have never had this problem with my EU account, yet I am the same person operating both accounts. The experience is similar for many fellow Africans I have spoken to. Bottom line is that PayPal just gives African users the worst of its experience. I hope the new @PayPal CEO @EnriqueJLores

  @KrzyDays @vexmlk @PayPal Not saying you feel any type of way. But simply making a point to it since the real issue is not the legitimacy of art or slnsfw content is is privately owned business like PayPal can make rules that best suit the shareholder than you.

  $HPNN #Digitalage NFA 1. This is not disclosure. It’s marketing copy. Nothing in that text is: filed with OTC Markets filed with the SEC independently verified audited supported by financials supported by a functioning platform supported by revenue supported by a live product It is storytelling, not reporting. 2. The entire piece is built to sound like inevitability. The structure is classic: Start with a grievance (“YouTube takes 45%”) Introduce a villain (“landlord platforms”) Introduce a crisis (“AI broke everything”) Introduce a savior (“Digitalage is the compliance layer”) Introduce urgency (“60‑day clock”) Introduce exclusivity (“handpicked creators only”) Introduce authority (“patents filed”) Introduce inevitability (“the ambiguity is ending”) This is textbook venture‑style positioning, not an operational fact. 3. The claims collapse under basic evidentiary pressure. “Android closed testing” No APK. No Play Store listing. No developer console evidence. No screenshots. No testers confirming access. “iOS TestFlight internal testing” No build number. No TestFlight link. No Apple developer listing. No external testers. “$500 wired within 7 business days” No proof of payout. No ledger. No creator confirming receipt. No funding source disclosed. “85% of gross subscription revenue”. There is no subscription system. No pricing tiers. No billing engine. No merchant account. No Stripe/Adyen/PayPal integration. No revenue to split. “50% of net ad revenue, real-time reporting” There is no ad inventory. No ad server. No DSP. No SSP. No advertisers. No dashboard. “SHA‑256 provenance at creation” There is no ingest pipeline. No hashing service. No chain‑of‑custody system. No verification engine. No public demo. “Patents filed” Provisional patents = unexamined, unvalidated, unenforceable drafts. Anyone can file one for $60. One patent has been filed for direct review. An 18-24 month process. “Infrastructure is running.” There is no evidence of infrastructure. No uptime logs. No architecture diagrams. No API endpoints. No SDK. No documentation. No partners. “Public reporting obligation” There is no such obligation. OTC Markets does not require milestone reporting. This is invented language.was 4. The entire piece is written to distract from one fact: There is still no platform. Not a beta. Not a prototype. Not a demo. Not a screenshot. Not a creator using it. Not a single piece of content published through it. Nothing. 5. The “60‑day clock” is a psychological device, not an operational timeline. It creates: urgency inevitability pressure narrative momentum But it is not tied to any verifiable deliverable. There is no penalty for missing it. There is no oversight. There is no enforcement. There is no filing requirement. It is marketing theater. 6. The entire piece is designed to look like a whitepaper — but it’s a pitch. A real infrastructure company would show: architecture diagrams APIs SDKs uptime logs audits partners customers revenue filings This shows none of that. It shows words. Lots of them. 7. The fatal flaw Everything in this document assumes Digitalage already exists. But the market, the filings, the tape, the creators, and the evidence all show the same thing: There is no product. There is no infrastructure. There is no revenue. There is no execution.

  @ntvkenya Do not use Paypal they have always been the most eager to work on behalf of the American government. They were among the first to shut down payments to Wikileaks when they exposed US war crimes.

  I don’t know who’s playing games for America. I don’t know who owns PayPal, but I’m calling Attorney General and it’s not money. I’m after it’s your ******* freedom. If it’s somebody outside of the United States, I don’t have a problem joining the military and blowing them off the map America is in a terrible place and until people stand up and let this injustice end then we are going to continue to fall.

  @JoshOO1J @kisiagi_1 There's only one problem with PayPal. You don't use personal PayPal for business. If you want to receive Money from individuals, make that PayPal business the minute you open it. Provide proof of business and you'll be good to go.

  🚨 NEW: US-Iranian Tech CEO Arrested For Supplying Iran's Nuclear Program Jamshid Ghomi, the CEO of a Tehran-based technology firm, was arrested Wednesday for allegedly funneling sensitive American networking and security equipment directly to Iran’s military and nuclear facilities. Prosecutors claim he operated a massive money laundering network to bypass strict US sanctions and finance a lavish California lifestyle. His company, Faraz Pardaz Rayaneh, allegedly supplied critical equipment to Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization and the Ministry of Defense over an eight-year period. Ghomi laundered more than $15 million into American bank accounts and construction escrows, falsely reporting the illicit funds as a foreign inheritance. The 63-year-old executive utilized personal eBay and PayPal accounts to make over 400 purchases of computer networking equipment, routing the shipments through intermediaries in the United Arab Emirates. Federal prosecutors are now actively attempting to seize Ghomi’s massive $35 million mansion in Newport Beach, California, which was largely funded by foreign wire transfers. This high-profile arrest exposes severe vulnerabilities in global supply chains, revealing how hostile foreign programs can acquire restricted technology through basic e-commerce workarounds. It also marks a significant escalation in the ongoing enforcement of sweeping sanctions against Iran's manufacturing and defense sectors. Are current international export controls completely broken, or will massive asset seizures like this finally deter intermediary smuggling networks? Source: Justice Department

  @JoshOO1J PayPal has been treating African creators and entrepreneurs with contempt for quite long now. For us, our merchant account that was supporting an active marketplace we had developed was permanently closed just like that, we had broken none of their rules. We need an African alt.
