Well personally as one who well remembers the AdultCheck nonsense with ACPay and later EGSPay, the comment then was the same... we conduct business in private... only trouble was they rarely responded to the average joe in any sort of timely manner... and here we are seeing that apply to YNot... at the very least when someone is posting about this, there should be some official at the least coming and saying email on its way.. not necessarily posting the response... but to not even do that makes the red flags fly at full staff.

in my mind some things need to be transparent. When you are bucking the established norm especially such as with VISA. Given past history of some companies, one would think that in this instance they would at least at the start up be more open. By not doing so they increase the natural skepticism that people have, especially given all the processors going under the last few years.

I suppose in a sense its a hobby horse of mine, to be on the opposite end of what most are willing to accept. I also have a good memory of things past...

Don't get me wrong, YNot can and could be 100% different than AC was... though the signals are certainly ominous in my personal view.. and no I don't know YNot Bob or the organization really... it just never was one that clicked for me like say GWW or Bentboard did/does. Doesn't make them bad either but I just don't think secrecy in this field is condusive to establishing trust.

Just my opinion & mini tilt.
