Patrick, Thanks for sharing so much about your new service and what it takes to get off the ground. I'm curious if you plan to use a true merchant account for handling credit card payments since AppointmentReminder orders are probably going to be larger in value than Bingo cards.

Also, do you plan to form some kind of business/formal entity? I see reference to Kalzumeus but is this just a placeholder? I'd love to hear thoughts on those aspects when launching a new service.

I'm going to be using Paypal and Spreedly. I have received e.g. consulting paychecks through Paypal before, without incident. They were rather bigger than any of the subscription plans I am currently contemplating.

Kalzumeus is formally organized as a yago -- basically, it is the Japanese version of a DBA. People paying me money for things are really paying me money for things at the moment. I will probably formally incorporate some time next year.
