I had an interesting conversation with someone at Fays show in November -- and I'm inclined to agree with them -- let Visa pull the plug sooner rather than later -- the business won't go away, people will still be paying for porn. Before there was Visa on the internet people did it, and after it's gone people will do it. Something will take its' place. And no, I don't count on Paypal as a payment method because Visa and MC still control them just as much as they do you guys.

What would *I* personally like to see from processors? More non Visa, non Mastercard, regional type options -- JCB, Eurodebit, Canada's Interact, etc -- I realize that it's costly to put alot of the smaller systems in place, especially when you look at the immediate ROI -- however, for foreign clients it seems to be a great alternative to Visa/Mastercard -- less of an issue with cdc, less of an issue with fraud or scrubbing, and more flexibility for the clients.
And I love you too.... But in a good, healthy way

I agree with your point. There are a bunch of "alternative methods" out there, some of which work well.

We are working on a hybrid, to be released at the show. If you give me a Blackjack lesson I may leak it to you. But ONLY you.
