You're crazy :) But ok! https://buymeacoff.ee/jleclanche

Feedback:

1. My avatar wasn't picked up from Facebook, nor Gravatar. My email wasn't either. I think it's OK for you to request these from Facebook.

2. Recommended payout method was "Stripe" for me even though it was disabled due to not being available in my country.

3. Add an optional "Tell us why" textbox when I click "Delete my account". Seriously, do this early. :)

4. I see you are using Stripe Checkout.js for payment methods. Switch to Stripe Elements (https://stripe.com/elements) and the Source API to get the option to support a range of other payment methods as well as 3d secure and such.

5. What's your stack?

This is a good catch! The problem though is BMC will now have to keep the country data updated from Stripe, unless Stripe provides it over their API

I meant during onboarding, Stripe was showing up as both disabled and recommended.
