Maybe one is by the original poster, so it's ranked higher. That logic would make sense - not sure how it's applied here though... would anyone who knows care to tell us?? Linked for your clicking pleasure: http://news.ycombinator.com/item

Have you seen http://feefighters.com/square-calculator ? Square works great for some people (if you are swiping a card), it's pretty expensive, but really cool to not need a merchant account. We're working on a new version of the square c

Sadly, it would be really hard to do this around the world, as each country has it's own completely different setups when it comes to credit card processing. It seems like you're in China, which would be a really hard market for us to enter

Working on it... we actually didn't post this to HN or expect the traffic bump, or we would've done that before. It takes a while to get approved. The main thing we're interested is drawing traffic to http://feefighters.com for people to

That's true for $0.99 app purchases. Apple has a lot of power in that they can pool the transactions and actually charge your credit card not for $0.99, but for all your purchases over a certain time period. This is something an individual
