Wow, I'm really taken away the fact that you're using PayPal. First of all, you're in YC, where's the brotherly support of using other YC companies? You got WePay and Stripe, and you're not using either.
One step after the other. I just donated, despite ever having used PayPal before, and with a non-american credit card. And - it worked within a few minutes.
I have my objections to PayPal, too, and would like to see alternatives but that doesn't have to be the focus right now.
You're right, and I understand your point, but I would also like to add my voice to those pressuring Watsi for a PayPal alternative. Personally I had pressed "Fund Treatment" and was 100% committed to converting until PayPal loaded. I don't have a PayPal account any more and I won't reopen it for anybody, not even Watsi.
