That made me laugh, I didn't even think of the fact that you needed to use a credit card. I suppose you could get a prepaid card.

We're currently adding in BitCoin / PayPal support right now -- nothing is perfect, but this is sort of a MVP.

After payment is accepted, we wipe our database columns with any user information as well, basically making it as hard as possible to identify users.

We laugh, but from The Wall Street Journal today (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142412788732429910457852...):

"U.S. Collects Vast Data Trove

"By SIOBHAN GORMAN, EVAN PEREZ and JANET HOOK

"WASHINGTON—The National Security Agency's monitoring of Americans includes customer records from the three major phone networks as well as emails and Web searches, and the agency also has cataloged credit-card transactions, said people familiar with the agency's activities."
