It'd be nice of you to back up this statement with facts beyond having a "horrible experience with Stripe" and using it to pitch your own project.

The last 10 comments were all boilerplate promotion of getopenpay

"Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Ah sorry! Thanks for flagging

You’ve been doing it for months - so long in fact that I’ve added your company to a list of companies that I won’t go near. I’m not even that devoted to this site but recognize both your name and the repetitive ways you promote your project.

Remember that when you try to craft a marketing message, you have to make sure that you’re not doing damage to your brand. You have done a significant amount of damage to your brand because you don’t care about this community.

Sorry- I just noticed this post and thought I'd comment. The HN community helped me when I got kicked off of Stripe that I thought it would be a way to give back

Come on bud, I just went through your account and you have only made one comment that didn’t link to your brand. I’m sure you have other things to contribute as I’m sure you have other interests beyond your brand. Just balance it out a little bit and it wouldn’t be so grating.

Advertising your own brand doesn’t give anything back. It will damage your company though.
