It's very, very sad, the US gov obviously is putting so much scare into everybody....
Once again my customers and contacts telling me they're not sure about using ANY method to collect payments in BTC (SATS) on any of their websites.
I suggested that they use zaprite on a manual invoice (which is what I'm going to do).
========================================
I sent these words below to many of my contacts, customers this morning.
"Just received a very sad email from IbexPay which is what I have been using to accept Bitcoin payments on my hybrid shopify website. They are suspending all service in the USA effective May 31st".

The state loves war with weapons and we love war with code. I believe taht this migration of talent and companies would definitely pressurize US to rethink their stance .
