Stripe cofounder here. This is an issue that I know a lot of HN readers care about and I'd encourage anyone interested to get involved. (Feel free to reach out to CA YIMBY, your local representatives, or any of the other organizations

EU support is coming! The market is quite different, as you obviously know, and we want to take the time to test Billing properly with European users. But enabling support for Europe is a high priority for us.

Stripe cofounder here. For anyone wondering about pricing, here's our approach. - For new Stripe customers, this is free up to the first (lifetime) $1M of payments. - For existing customers, there's no pricing change. You just get

Stripe cofounder here. I think you're reading too much into it. We do think Bitcoin is cool. We're just trying to be as plainspoken and clear as possible about why we're doing what we're doing.

The main thing we can do is free up Courtland to spend more time on it rather than having him sell ads. We're also going to invest in it so that his brother, Channing, can join him. On top of that, we expect that there'll be some

It's very hard to know upfront -- what made us interested in Indie Hackers wasn't just the idea per se (we'd thought about it before and looked at other sites in the past), but rather the fact that it was executed so well. Th

Patrick from Stripe here. I wanted to quickly chime in to emphasize that our goal in acquiring Indie Hackers is to simply ensure that the site becomes as successful as possible. The Stripe upside we're hoping for is that more companie

RethinkDB is one of the developer tools that we at Stripe most looked up to.[1] The team had so many good ideas and rigorous, creative thoughts around what a database could be and how it should work. I'm really bummed that it didn&#x27

Correct; the brand risk being referred to is card network brand risk. (Which they're very sensitive to.)

We're never going to definitively solve them; it'll always be a process. But we did try to lay out some examples in the post of cases where we've been able to make progress.

We work hard to avoid ever inconveniencing legitimate businesses (and are constantly iterating on our processes to make it less likely that we do so). I suffered at the hands of many of these processes from other companies in the past; pa

Hm -- can you drop me a note? (patrick@stripe.com.) I'd like to dig into why. It's still invite-only but you shouldn't have been turned down because you're in the US.

It sounds like there was some confusion here -- you do not by any means have to be from a "disadvantaged" country. Can you email me (patrick@stripe.com) and tmf@stripe.com so that we can investigate what happened?

Actually, it was. (Structurally speaking.) Greg and I had had plenty of conversations about what he was looking for and I asked Sam to share his honest assessment with him. It's no good for Stripe to have a CTO who wants to be somethin

No immediate plans. ACH is mostly popular for B2B use-cases whereas Checkout is optimized for "lightweight" transactions. You can obviously imagine cases where an integration would be useful but we decided not to hold up the lau
