Yeah agreed.
We need @steem.ninja to give a post or a few words to calm those sorts of concerns.
Or how much "STRIPE" the processor actually needs those and if people can get away with just country and zip cope for example?
To be clear this whole process is between the new user and steem.ninja not steempeak.
As you're also linking to steemit, I assumed as much. Didn't see steem.ninja around before tho. I usually just burn my own RC to make accounts for friends and promising newbies (or send them to blocktrades).
Im also using Stripe and currently only asking Zip code, as that is used for verification. My hunch is that Steem.ninja has already been abused maybe too much and have enabled additional to zip code also 'billing address verification'.
If one wants to create an account anonymous, using a credit card would not be the way to do this however anyhow, IMHO.
