This is an interesting problem that ruined a side project I worked on. I wanted to avoid forcing people to pay monthly subscription fees so instead I let them buy "credits" and pay as they go. Unfortunately many people bought credits and then disappeared after using the product a couple of times, leaving my company with thousands of dollars we were actually holding on behalf of our customers. My accountants informed me that even though we have that money in the bank it's not really "ours," and we can't even find a lot of these people in order to refund them. I'm not saying that what BountySource is doing is justified. In my case I need to just wind down the company because I think it would be unethical to pull this shit.
