Why is this important? Why are you telling this to people? Why is this news that a Hacker should know.

I might not get it, but IMHO if its not something of general interest, it shouldn't be on HN (even though the company might be PG's portfolio).

View on HN

Many people on HN are using Stripe to handle payment processing for their startups/projects. How can you argue this information isn't relevant?

Oh come now: the shear number of stories regarding Stripe that hit HN (and often hit it pretty hard, although this one did falter) is staggering. There are tons of services and technologies that "many people on HN are using" that don't get this kind of play; on the contrary, I've seen complaints before regarding "HN is not a change-log for ______".
