Congrats to Sahil, I think a few of us have been watching this since day 1. His record speaks for itself.
It's also good that Gumroad was essentially made possible by Stripe's very accessible API (as far as I know). I think I speak for all Europeans when I say hurry up and get Stripe over here.
I'm always interested/a little depressed when I see Europeans telling Stripe to hurry up and get there. I've seen this comment many times now but have never come across a European saying "Will someone hurry up and do a Stripe here in Europe!?" I think if folks in the US saw a great European service that - due to regulatory issues - just couldn't also be available here in the U.S. there wouldn't be a lot of sitting around and waiting and hoping......Or maybe I'm reading way too much into this.
If someone European did it, that's great. The point is that Stripe are a long way down the road of working out how to achieve this. As for the comment below that the US just gets things done - well it's a whole lot easier when there's just one currency and one country's regulations to deal with.
