Your Stripe pricing is the same if you use Apple Pay -- there are no additional fees. (And no 30%.) (We should update the page to say this...)

You can't use Apple Pay directly: you have to use it with a supported payment platform. (List is at https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/. )

> For instance, I said, "Jed is also on the Stellar board, too, one of only three members -- and so wields a considerable amount of influence." Then you said that "the board is composed of Jed, Keith Rabois, and me".

The inflation doesn't go to the foundation. The mechanism is described at https://www.stellar.org/about/mandate/ . (Search for "inflation".)

Yeah, the image issues were unfortunate -- but the tech is good, and Jed and David have a lot of promising ideas about how to make it even better. Jed and Joyce have been scrupulous about being fair and transparent in how the Stellar Founda

It's actually not a bug -- it's because the client never sends the password to the server. (It decrypts your wallet locally.)

Yes; it's because your wallet is decrypted by the client and your password is never sent to the server.

This is actually for security -- your password is never sent to the server, and so the client needs to decrypt your wallet again.

This phishing concern is part of why we decided to use one-time SMS tokens with Checkout -- there's no password to steal.

That's unfair -- not all platforms have IETF specs (iOS, Android, AWS, etc). You might prefer platforms that have proper specifications, but the presence of one is not implicit in the term.

Stripe launched this way: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3053883 . We didn't do any press or anything like that. (We didn't think of adding the Show HN prefix, though.)

Not for now. Part of the reason Alipay was comfortable with this new flow is because it's served as part of Checkout. If we were to provide Checkout-less APIs, we'd probably have to go back to the old redirect model, which (among

We'd be very happy to support PayPal in the same way. If any PayPal folks are reading, I'm patrick@stripe.com :-).

Right now, most of our marketplaces' sellers seem to prefer using their regular bank accounts rather than Bitcoin. But if/when the Bitcoin revolution happens, we'll enthusiastically support that too. (We're running a Bit
