I'll gladly support roll20

As soon as they accept bitcoin... or dogecoin, i'm nonspecific.

Why not convert your bit/dogecoins into cash and support them, vs them having to add a totally new support method very very few would use? They dont even have paypal yet for various technical reasons, bit/doge is even more a pipe dream I suspect. Not to mention they talk about the tracking ability of active subs is important which would be impossible with bit/doge as no wallet allows for unauthorized reoccurring pull payments, only push payments.

I have to ask why is it so important to you that they accept bitcoin or any virtual money as payment method?

Because i don't have paypal, i refuse to get one, and i don't like throwing around credit card numbers, way less of a hassel to use BTC.

you could always ask a freind to gift you the subscription and you pay them.

I suggest purchasing a pre-paid card and using that. That way, if security risks are your concern, you will only be risk the amount of money contained in the card.

As cool as being able to pay for things in bitcoin would be - I think I'd personally prefer the dev's to focus on providing more features rather than implement this. Don't forget that you are not liable for any fraud on a credit card - it's arguably the safest way to pay for anything online. Even if your card details are compremised you are not liable for anything.

Its a pretty big hassle for the vendor who has to find a way to immediately cash in the bit coin because of the volatility of the market. The very few vendors who do take them have to do just that. A lot of work for a $5 sub.

Cryptsy and coinbase can both be set up to do that automatically in about 10 minutes.

But tracking subs would still be a problem. or doing a reoccurring pull request for the sub payment, cryptsy doesn't have it, and coinbase sub thing is only in 'beta' and its push only, not pull..you must send it.. which totally goes the opposite way they are doing every other payment type on here. Bitcoin at its lowest level is a “push” technology, meaning the customer needs to initiate each outbound payment. Id' say until you see paypal as an option(if ever), don't expect something more obscure like bit/doge/nyan/whatever coins to be accepted. Not trying to be blunt, or rude. just asking a payment sub type be added, that doesnt support payment sub type transactions, and add to that less than 1% of the subs they get would possibly want to use it if it did..is a bit far fetched.

I wonder if any European banks can do one time transactions like some of the American banks do. There are some banks that can issue a one time use credit card if it is based off your account. I forget what they call it but I've seen it listed when I did ebay years ago.

Not sure, mine doesn't, but they did allow me to set up a "virtual" card (that doesn't actually exist IRL, it's just the necessary numbers) for which I had to pre-approve each charge or charger. I use SEB, which is a Swedish bank.

That is or very similar to what I was talking about. Sucks for repeating cost but there should be a way for those outside the US.

Doesn't cost at all actually, for me. Sadly the issue is that the only reason I could get this type of card is that my account has a fair deal of services attached to it, most of which the average user would not have any use for, or indeed in most cases actually be able to get (very few people have bank account with business services after all). As for "prepaids" in Sweden, none are sold as far as I know, though I might be mistaken. One way to make "one-time" payments btw, just as an aside, is to just gift some subscription money to yourself and use that, tip it up as required. (this, of course, only solves the issue for those that don't want recurring costs, not for those with issues in regards to spreading their credit card info all over the net)

One time yearly subscriptions using crypto would have me signing up immediately. Unless the devs have starving children they would be crazy to sell off their bitcoins. The next bump, after confidence returns from the debockle of idiots at mtgox, should see 100% and more rise in value. Pluses would be no exorbitant charge like with PayPal and credit cards, a more secured transaction with no credit information laying around, no freezing of accounts on a whim which PayPal prides itself on and total anonymity protecting one from exposure as geeks we are. :)

Anyone who spends money on, or invests in a cryptocurrency doesn't know enough about how they work. I actually took the time to LEARN about Bitcoin when my brother in law suggested we mine it, the answer is no. No no no, no no no. Cryptocurrencies will be the next big bubble to cause a large financial meltdown. Bitcoin in about 4 years or so.

That's how the monetary economy works. Or was it Ponzi something... ;)
