Does anyone know of any replacements? I get zero chargebacks via Google and struggle to find anything that's comparable? I've got the usual horror story behind PayPal (that cost a …

From my understanding is that it lets the customer's bank see exactly who's making the payment and gives them a chance to deny it. The merchant is then protected from fraudulent ch…

From my understanding 3D secure would go a long way to help protect against chargebacks. Why not make it optional? https://support.stripe.com/questions/does-stripe-support-3d-...

I heard years ago that Level 3 were trying to encourage people (non-customers?) not to use these DNS servers. I guess this is one way to ask people not to use them. Having said tha…

Definitely a third party service. Then place the bumper sticker "No Bitcoins on our servers" somewhere :) I integrated MtGox and BitPay. Compared to Google Checkout (XML mania) and…

Earlier today I received a phone call from a number in Mountain View CA. It was Google letting me know in advance that Google Checkout was to be shut down (and asking to keep the c…

This won't protect against OVH being compromised. In the manager you can select the netboot / PXE option and "boot from rescue mode". From there you get e-mailed the logins from th…

I personally feel this is a really minor problem (if that!) I found my personal phone number appearing on customer bank statements as a Stripe merchant. That's a bigger deal than e…

Have you considered providing this data to merchants? For example, it would be great to know if you do get any calls for customers (or my prospective customers) and to see roughly …

I was in a similar position with my ex -- although I think I used my start up as an escape putting more time into it than I would have otherwise. Then again, I could just have an a…

No it does not, it's only when you ping their edge routers do you see packet loss, they still pass all traffic (and thus ping) over them just fine. You can see this in traceroutes …
