nuhi I am one of the many users of your marvelous software who have been unable to buy it and use it because of the payment hurdles set up by your payment provider "2Checkout.com" (powered by Verifone)
I've been a fan of your software since the nLite version for XP and I always wanted to at least DONATE to you for your hard work.
Now that you have put up the NTLite for sale for a very reasonable sum of money, I was trying to purchase it from the past many years. Not only myself but many of my friends in college also (almost 50 or more) always want to purchase your software (mainly as a show of support for your hard work).
But whenever we try to pay with our credit cards, your payment gateway provider (2checkout) nearly always flags it as a "fraud transaction" and they demand that we should upload our credit card statement and also a government ID.
This has been happening from many years.
In some countries it is fine to share the govt ID proof openly.
But in many countries like the US and Australia it is a very, very bad idea to upload one's credit card statement and passport copies since when (I will not say "if", but "when" ) nearly all these payment companies end up getting hacked, they leave all our private info exposed and to be sold on the Dark Web).
Some of my friends went ahead and uploaded their passport copies and credit card statements. They eventually found their info to be sold: whether it was due to this payment provider or not, we do not know.
Many other sensible users decided not to give in to the demands of the so-called "fraud experts" of 2checkout and did not upload our documents.
We end up (very sadly, I must say), having to either use the pirated copies of software found shared across the web, or live without access to your software.
A MAJORITY of users want to BUY and use your software. Please make this possible by setting up an alternate payment method for like through BitCoin for example. Setting up a Bitcoin payment address takes just five minutes or less and it would greatly improve sales.
It would also allow users like us who the payment gateways hold at ransom to get at our personal documents to pay for and make a purchase. Converting the BTC into fiat currency is not a problem these days and will work out a lot cheaper for you too.
Hope you will consider this seriously nuhi
-Your great fan
