(For the record, I'm not talking about Katherine's business; I'm talking about Stripe.)

I'm not disputing that, and I totally agree with your points, however unrelated to my questions they are. I'm not even going to use Stripe (as I have nothing that could utilise it at present), but I keep seeing that line appear over and over on this site.

People are going to get tired of being led on at some point. Something as simple as "We're handling regulatory/bureaucratic issue X at present in country Y" would be tremendously transparent compared to their handling of the situation at present.

The Stripe team is failing on this point.

They raised a gajillion dollars from A-list investors and have the most incredible team I've ever seen on their "About" page. That's enough for me to think they'll figure it out and to give them time.
