#12Stripe cofounder here. As this news breaks, I want to say thanks to the HN community. Stripe is in large part the result of the feedback and advice we've received here since we launched on HN back in Sept 2011 -- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3053883 .
Now if Stripe could practice truth in advertising that would be great. SpecificallY:
"Anyone accepting credit card payments must be PCI compliant. Stripe makes it easy to do so:
Serve your payment page over SSL, i.e., the page's web address should begin with “https”, not “http”.
Use Stripe.js or Checkout to accept payment information and transmit it directly to Stripe's servers.
And you'll be PCI compliant!"

If it were only so easy. I guess there's no need for the merchant to have a PCI program, properly implement SSL/TLS, have anti-virus, change default passwords, protect agains SQLi, XSS, command injection or any number of other flaws which would give an attacker access to modify the Stripe.js code or the DOM for the page used for the collection of card information within the merchant's same origin. Nope, none of this is necessary because Stripe says that a merchant only needs to use HTTPS & implement their Stripe.js to be PCI compliant.
It's interesting that this isn't how the PCI council sees things:

I know it's not a priority but. Will you guys bring your magic to Brazil at some point?
I would be really interested in it.
On a side note I see Australia is in Beta :D which is great.
Thanks

#14Keith Rabois is apparently teaming up with Stripe too. What a day for them! https://twitter.com/rabois/status/426157931239714816
Is he joining the Board of Directors (via Khosla Ventures' investment this round)? Or in some other capacity?

We definitely will. (Sorry we don't have a timeline, though.)

Hm, it looks like that support forum answer needs to be updated -- we actually support filling out PCI SAQs right from our dashboard (and automatically ask users to do so). We'll go update it.
Also, if you'd like to drop me an email at patrick@stripe.com, would be happy to chat about PCI more.

#19I am a developer interested in integrating a payment system into one of my sites where my target customers are mainly in the US. Could someone outline the major differences between Stripe and Balanced?
