Not crypto. At least not specifically. I'd be happy with a whole lot of regional banks that aren't going to just get acquired in a year. Consolidation isn't a friend.

What the world needs is decentralization across the board. Finance, internet, media, and government.

I keep looking for alternatives but there always seem to be negative tradeoffs. I've asked in a comment elsewhere in this post about Gravity payments but not getting any responses. So I keep hoping.

I wish I could keep using my current unsupported android phone but slowly all my critical apps are no longer working including the banking apps which won't support my android version. What do you do about that?

Do you use Gravity Payments for SaaS apps or solely online payments? How easy is it technically to integrate like Stripe? So many systems only use Stripe that it seems technically difficult to integrate other providers. I can't find pr

I worry about this method of getting Stripe support. First, HN only seems to be effective for Stripe support if you can get enough attention, otherwise these posts seem to get no attention. I worry that one day, I too will need help with so

Also - I really like your graphics in your blog post. How do you go about generating them?

I'm curious about your use of affiliates and how they worked out - definitely would like to get some guidance there. But it's not for a SaaS app, so not sure how much guidance you can provide.

I'm looking for alternatives, so what would be a good alternative? Anything you have specific experience with?

Thanks! I'll definitely reach out as I'm getting closer to the 2nd bank alternative for sure. I'm on Woocommerce as well. Is this Paymentech? You have a business bank account with Navy Federal? Lots of questions ;)

What tech do you use to integrate it with your apps? Especially ones that seem to greatly prefer Stripe? Chase has been a solid bank for us but I'd like to not mix my payment processor and bank in case things go south. What are your ra

What are the best alternatives to Stripe that offer better quality service, the same ease of integration especially with Wordpress based plugins, good pricing, and much better customer support?

I'm looking for backup providers as well. I absolutely hate how you have to go to complain on HN (and have the post noticed) to get any support at all from Stripe. What is the hassle involved with Paymentech? How easy is it to integrat

That's because so many of those NGOs are hustles of their own, delivering some marginal value while supporting their own bloated universe.

I can't wait for the day I can make photo-realistic full length movies with spoken dialogue and different camera effects entirely using an AI-generation / AI-enhanced tool. I have a feeling those days are coming soon.
