How do I tag patio11? I'm addicted to his writing.
HN has no tagging feature.
Don’t worry just criticize stripe and he’ll show up lol.
Because Stripe has easy to access APIs, but they have over 1,000 new merchants joining every day, the manual review is slow in order to prevent large scale fraud from occurring, and if you're a large customer, you may have a faster response. You can see what happened to me and lost almost $50,000 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38363065 https://twitter.com/LewidLewis/status/1726942134174163148
scary. hope this is just a dream, as otherwise I cannot explain it
This is just an idea...but if you accept BTC and other forms of payment, this means you are now able to laundry some payments on the back of other legit ones. As said, just an idea, i have no knowledge of how money laundering works
I don't think my case is niche enough to require such attention. I mean, isn't crypto already widely accepted by many companies that also accept fiat?

I'm trying to understand this, but I don't see how would Stripe be held liable for any laundry that I make. Any stripe related payments are completely separated.

If all it takes is me removing btc payments, I have to do it, but that's a horrible twist in my trust and love for stripe (which was not grounded in reality/experience, but merely on all YC vids praising them)
