Thanks for the feedback! Will take a look at this, agreed that sounds easy and helpful.

We're going to automatically refund the transactions and fees, but also support any write-ins if you feel we missed any. (We have some ways to identify the transactions after they …

Really sorry to hear about that experience — we need to do better here. If you want to shoot me an email (wmegson [at] stripe [dot] com) I can take a closer look at those specific …

[I lead Radar at Stripe] We're still investigating but have blocked the majority of this attack from the Stripe network. We're going to refund any impacted transactions and waive t…

Hi! I work on card testing at Stripe and would love to help. Sorry to hear about this experience, would be great to dig in and see how we can fix it and improve our system. If you …

Congratulations!! Love the philosophy around the product and the dynamic treatment of higher risk transactions with Checkout routing to 3DS. It must feel great to be able to suppor…

It’s an investment trade off around commitment (in person is better for connecting and relationship building but is more expensive as a time investment). If it’s more transactional…

Couple thoughts. 1) bug report: your input on describe yourself is set to email, which messes with my keyboard on my phone. Have that be text input, the other to email as it is. 2)…

Great advice, thank you! We'll make sure the date stuff works. For EU cards, one experience I'm excited about supporting is the "tap to add" flow which may be even easier than OCR.…

Thanks, and will do!

Thanks for the feedback! Our goal for the experience is the Apple Pay OCR experience, but it's embeddable directly in apps (so users don't have to already have it set up, if they p…

Gotcha, didn't realize. We're several weeks away from fully working product (tried to be transparent on the page about timing), but have figured out the hardest part (generic OCR a…

Gotcha. Unfortunately what we have isn't really sharable yet, but we're planning to update as soon as it is - but I get this isn't that helpful when you want to play around with it…

Hey HN, I loved the experience of card scan products, but found they don't work well with more recent card designs. We're re-implementing the OCR algorithms from the ground up to w…

I agree with you the current versions I've seen feel this way. But I like to think of it as programmable money: it can be whatever we want it to be. Imagine an ICO that gives more …

I think super asymmetric societies are less just. I'm not sure I'm a Utilitarian in all things, but I think we should try to make as many people as happy and content as possible, n…

I see this as one of the most fundamental problems the next generation will need to face. How do we build better models to give access to wealth creation outside a small number of …

I doubt it, as they will be enforced by Stripe / PayPal on the payout end. The laws regulate once you hit certain thresholds, like $100-$500 but it's aggregate not individual contr…

No problem, happy to help. Feel free to email me directly (email in HN profile) if you want more thoughts at a later date, I enjoy giving feedback on new projects. I missed the "sk…

Looks good. Few notes: 1. During sign up, I'm super confused why you have to set up anything related to payout before setting up your coffee page -- this is inverted to the way it …

On your last one, there is also a funny story about his Hawaiian resort: https://www.theverge.com/2017/1/19/14327854/mark-zuckerberg-...

Interesting. What's your thinking for #1, #2, and #4? (I'm asking genuinely). Another I'll add from my list: "The social costs and spillover of disruption are not fairly priced tod…

I'm genuinely conflicted on this perspective, because I feel very defensive of both gay people and free speech. It's a complex issue, I agree that intolerant speech can be more com…
