We operate in the public sector where the number of startups is small. If I shared the vertical you'd be able to narrow it down to 2 or 3 companies.

I'm proud to announce that Edwin officially pulled through for us today. All our accounts have been reactivated.

There are clearly problems at Stripe. But this kind human is not one of them.

I'd be curious to listen to this if you have a link?

Ha, not quite. It's more I'm concerned that people considering using my product will see this in the future (hopefully when this issue is resolved) and be wary of doing business with us.

The problem is that my real HN account is my actual name. It'd be like 2 clicks to figure out what my business is.

We're built on Rails which has the extreme luxury of being able to use ActiveMerchant, which does exactly this. The problem is, abstraction falls apart when you're using functions that are specific to a product. Stripe Connect is is nearly impossible to replicate with an adapter.

This is more a function of the fact that I don't want my business to be identifiable from this post than that it's a sketchy business. You'll have to take my word for it, but it's exceedingly benign.
