Well, as the title says, I just got an email to join the limited beta. This is awesome for all UK developers who needs to accept online payments. How many of you received this email?

    "In what we’re putting down to a bout of Valentine’s Day confusion — or a desire to keep the launch quiet — Stripe co-founder Patrick Collison tells us that emails about the UK beta were sent out to some users “in error”. So, despite some employees confirming the UK launch, Collison claims it isn’t happening. We’re continuing to look into this."

    To anyone from Stripe reading this, I will give everyone at stripe a voucher for my website http://www.posterhaste.com/ if I could have an invite! Would love to move off Paypal!

    That's good news for UK.

    I'm in Sweden and been on that list since Stripe went public in USA, no email love here.

    I would love an invite! I was just about to sign up with one of their competitors but would prefer to use Stripe.
