they have tons of momentum, and charisma too o.O

when they originaly opened their server got hit with so many hits it crashed. They had to get many more servers right off the bat, thats a lot of momentum!!

Its also backed by quite a few major banks such as Citibank. (There's your money)
Even eBay signed up for it, and they OWN paypal O.o (There's your momentum ;))
Besides, theres a huge crowd of people paypal screwed over. To the point that sites dedicated to its downfall have sprung up.

deathemperor, you cannot sign up without the code, so it kind of defeats the purpose to take it out. Try clearing your cookies and try it again, it'll still ask for a code.
This community has gotten so hostile, it's no wonder I dont' come here any more. It's become an ego-stroking jerk-fest for "Elite Coders":tired: .

Feel free to PM the referral link to each other. But we do not allow referral links on this site as per our anti-spam/ advertising rules. :) We apologize if you feel that this causes "fighting" because that's not the intention at all. You all run your own forums so I'm sure you understand. Any issues feel free to PM me. :)

I've heard about it, and seen it, although i won't actually go any further than that until it has been launched, people have tried it and feedback has been all good, it may be a competitor, but it is still new, and for most people out there looking for online payment methods, they feel more secure and comftable with those that have a good reputation such as PayPal.

I am not disputing what this is, but until more information has been revealed and it has been put through the test, i'll stay clear, always best to stick to what you know is reliable.

A safe approach, you might wanna take the same action.

eBay tried to compete with Paypal on their own site and got stomped. They had the money and plenty of ability to promote their service. Ultimately they just decided to buy paypal.

It is going to take a lot for any company to compete. And unless the company is MicroSoft or some other huge $$ making company, I dont see it happening.

You were wrong, I signed up with no code. I pressed Zajako's link in FF so IE has no referers.

Yep I registered, just to know if without a referer code I could do it.

GreenZap info was sent to me a few weeks back. 10 minutes of Googling turned up some interesting sites and their questions and responses. There were a few links to the San Diego BBB, the past history of the man behind it's other adventures(Masumah, or something like that), and one that listed GreenZaps whois address as a mail drop in "Ralphs Convenience Store"

Could be legit, but visions of multi-level marketing and pyramid schemes jump out to me.
