Not sure how I feel about that, but it think overall most will approve?

As long as it remembers my info and I don't have to fill out that form every time, I'm good. Can't have Pierre hogging up all the early birds coz I was filling out forms.

Considering how wary backers seem to be of projects that don't use Amazon, I can't imagine this change will go by completely quietly.

Personally I don't mind at all, as an international I never cared for the amazon payment process.

As long as KS explains to backers that they've been using Stripe for years, FB for example, I don't foresee a big issue, but that will be the problem, getting everyone to see what system they will be using.

I agree. As long as they do a good job of informing people it should go well. This answered a big question for me. I am shopping around for a good Ecommerce host and the one I really liked, Godaddy, uses Stripe. Now that I know Twitter, FB and now KS use it I can worry about something else.
