I get the impression they’re doing this for the network that OpenRouter has built, something like 8 million devs on one side and hundreds of services on the other side. If more and more software will be built this way then it’s a good bet this will grow into trillions in transaction volume and Stripe can own a percent like Visa and Mastercard and any network.

There were fintechs that did this, I think yotta and one other that was acquired by a big bank. I think it was (is?) popular but if I remember correctly they lost customer funds because of Synapses failure and the way the customer funds were organized they weren’t insured.

I think the comment you are responding to meant that sarcastically.

Si

Oh! My bad!. Let give me give my best rosane rosanadanna (from old school SNL TV era) "never mind"

The author said “god damn” once or twice whereas you just amended your comment to add a sentence containing “shit”. Not sure I understand your logic.

Very cool! But I think there’s a cap on social security, it said I paid much more towards that than I did.

There definitely is a cap. I believe once you make more than $176k you stop being taxed for that

Yep the cap was $176,100 for 2025

Very cool! Any links to posts about some of them?

See my reply above!

Can you expand on the USDC friction piece?

I think they are talking about x402 payments (HTTP 402 with payment instruction headers).

No mention of pets in the article, beyond the photo, so your comment is unnecessarily spiteful. I'm not a pet owner, nor a DINK for the record.

Nice work! My local coffee shop uses square but I for some reason never redeem the stars, my wine shop has a physical punch card that I sometimes forget in my wallet when going. Seems like there’s room for experimentation in the area.

Very cool!

I'm glad you liked!
