HiWe currently have a merchant account with Bank America as a bricks & mortar store, who would you recommend, for a payment gateway & ssl certificate? We are in the very early stages of setting up interchange.
Thank You Scott Martin Paul Vinciguerra wrote:

I have stopped using all Verisign products, period. * Where I once had (either myself or with clients) a hundred or more domains registered with them, now I have zero. Any time I find someone registered at Verisign, I immediately suggest a move to another registrar, and I donate my time to help them do it at my cost. * I used Thawte since I first heard about them, approximately 1997, partly because they were not Verisign. When they were bought by Verisign, I felt they kept some of their integrity, so I kept using them. At this point, though, I have switched to Comodo and will nolonger renew certificates with Thawte, and will no longer generate a CSR for them. And certainly not for the Verisign brand itself.* I wrote a Signio client for Interchange, which eventually became the PayFlowPro module. I regret that, and I never recommend PayFlowPro.Many of you may realize I have despised them for years; but they have now gone far beyond the bounds of civilized behavior. If I find anything else which is owned by Verisign, I will stop using it. I will no longer work on any part of Interchange which supports a Verisign product. Though I wouldn't be so insensitive as to do it unilaterally, I will suggest that we remove the Interchange Signio/PayFlowPro module from Interchange, and move it to a separate site or a contrib directory. Verisign obviously believes they are above the law and they believe they don't need to conduct themselves with respect toward other people. They routinely abuse trust by sending promotional email to people who have specifically requested not to receive it. And now the ultimate abuse of trust -- they hijack the Internet; the NXDOMAIN DNS response existed for a reason, and now you won't get it when you request a non-existent .net or .com domain. I no longer consider them trustworthy to sign HTTPS certificates, and have revoked all of their root certs in my browser. I may allow some stores using their certs to sell to me, but I will have to OK the certificate every time it is presented and I will send them feedback that I don't appreciate them supporting pirates. Please don't help Verisign run roughshod over everyone in the world. Please stop using Verisign products.The problem is, at I see it, that Verisign effectively owns the .com and .net space. Its unlikely people are going to abandon .coms and .nets over this and verisign knows this. Its been rumored that they are currently recieving $1M+ / day for planting overture bugs in visitors browsers. With incentives like that, its unlikely its coming down any time soon. So, the BIND patch solutionseems to be the only REAL workable solution in the short term.Best Regards, Mike Heins_______________________________________________ interchange-users mailing list suppressed http://www.icdevgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users_______________________________________________ interchange-users mailing list suppressed http://www.icdevgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users
