Ask HN: Crazy payouts loophole?

from the ask-hn dept.

Popular payment processors (Stripe, Balanced, Braintree) all allow you to make payouts to customers...and ask for info to verify the recipient's identity along with bank account information. However, they don't ensure the identity you provide is the person (or business) that actually owns the bank account...meaning I could theoretically provide the identity of someone else (i.e. fake someone's...

Nice! Psyched to work with you on your project.

Re:Show HN: Launch your own hosted SelfStarter without writing a line ... on Wednesday January 30, 2013 @10:09PM (#5143218)

As usual there's pros and cons to either approach. We love Kickstarter, and agree that the community is a strong asset...but we also believe a lot of project owners will benefit from an alternative approach that puts them in more control of their campaign (and provides continued follow-up with their users after the initial campaign runs its course, which is actually a hugely important aspect)

Chris - love your ideas here. I head up our API at Crowdtilt and spearheaded the CrowdHoster project. We're psyched to get cracking on features like this.

Product pre-sales drove Lockitron to create SelfStarter in the first place...clearly a huge use case. With our API we'll be able to get more creative with the payment flow, allowing dynamic cost calculation like you describe with different shipping scenarios.
