If either of these new groundbreaking services gets very popular and attracts the eyes of the scammers, they'll be backed into the same corner that Paypal and every other merchant provider is in.

To sign up for paypal you must supply an email address (actually somebody else will have to).

But what if some other service required you to provide a copy of a goverment issued id as well as the address associated with that id?

I'd like to think that some hackers can stay ahead of other hackers, enough of the time to balance it out.
