I haven't been in an active band for over a decade, but back when I was bandcamp was the only way we ever got money online. We had it set to optional to pay, and we would randomly get $5-30 from people around the world. It wasn't much, but it always felt nice. I also like the way they handled payments to artists, I'm not sure if they still do it this way, but back then your first 9 payments would go directly to your paypal, and the 10th would go to theirs. And they would balance it out to keep it where they only took %10.

This is one my concerns. They will lose touch with the little guys. Also, I have several musician friends and I only buy their music from Bandcamp or straight from them. Some prefer not to even bother with CDs/Vinyl and just point people at Bandcamp as preferred vendor as they get a good cut of the money. They seemed to be like a company that wasn't controlled strictly by slick marketing (and empty promises) and bean counters.
