Unsure as to why you're being downvoted... as chargeback insurance is the predominant model used by anti-fraud companies. That said, it's not necessary for Stripe to take their cut that way as they already are the payment service

This is a succinct example of racism, you've defined an entire ethnicity as "groups of violent, fraudulent thieves." shame on you. they're human. And don't use "we" i want no association with you. The rise

We've been struggling managing a collection of periodically updated CSVs & binaries over a few GB's in size, we struggled with Git-LFS and gave up, and we were considering (dreading) SVN, this looks really promising. Cheers!

ah ok then you're better off learning OpenCL, if you don't have access to a beefy graphics card just rent one by the hour off of amazon. You can prototype on your laptops CPU then run the real simulation on a remote machine.

Get a book on linear algebra, a book on C/C++, and download the OpenGL spec and build a graphics pipeline that can render a textured polygon, then add lights, shadows, animations... this will take you a month perhaps.
