The good ol' folks at Stripe's collaborators Tempo Labs tried to make an RFC-style description page for MPP: https://paymentauth.org/ https://paymentauth.org/ (full doc on IETF draft page: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ryan-httpauth-payment/ https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ryan-httpauth-payment...) I almost was going to point it out as evidence there was thought put into it. Nope, it's flimsy and AI generated. Also, it contains provisions for scamming customers: > 403 indicates the payment succeeded but access is denied by policy No, it doesn't explain how to refund payments for customers you deny access to.

This one is even worse IMO > Servers MAY return 402 when: > * Offering optional paid features or premium content This implies that a successful GET request to a resource that user already does have access to, might still return 402 instead of 200. This makes 402 basically unworkable.

  An RFC is a request for comments, contributions. Are you open to contributing to this RFC?

    Was it AI generated? If so, should I just delegate my AI to do so?

    that doesnt sound nearly as fun as getting upvotes, if im honest

    Will they get a slice of the earnings in return by Stripe?

    I always assumed contributing to RFCs is about as easy as contributing to C++, which I always assumed is virtually impossible without a billion dollars or a billion citations of your academic papers.

I recently redesigned my blog to look like a modern RFC and I'm loving the way they've decided to render tables in their plain text, definitely gonna steal that. On topic though, Stripe is trying to make themselves the Visa/Mastercard of crypto. They're in position to do so and it seems like Coinbase is their other half. I don't trust or like it though.

  The best Visa/Mastercard of crypto already exists and is called Flexa. (https://flexa.co/payments#pricing https://flexa.co/payments#pricing)

    Oh wow, I never heard of this. I'm currently working on something similar with the same 1% rate, haha! WELP
