The amazing thing about this to me is realizing how massively undervalued Stripe is if things like Relay are actually successful. The networks effects created by Relay would be massive.

This is interesting. How does this work with Apple not allowing purchases unless they go through them?

Edit: deleted the part where I confused square for stripe. My bad =/

Meh, there are only so many words. The two things are in quite different segments, so it should be fine.

Stripe and Twitter do not have the same CEO, you are thinking of Square.

tomasien: For some reason your comment is being marked as a [dupe], even though it's the only one of yours in this thread. There's another deleted thread[1]. What's going on here?

Apple doesn't allow purchases of digital products that don't go through the In App Purchase system and its 30% tax. Physical goods are just fine (hence the Amazon app where you can buy a book, but not a Kindle book).
