What if that $10/mo is going to result in a charge back from the stolen credit card? That, on top of spam and whatever other abuse is going on with that account

- xur17 4y agoOK, then only accept crypto for anonymous accounts.

- selykg 4y agoHonestly, cryptocurrencies (I hate that these have hijacked "crypto" for their silly garbage, to me crypto will always be cryptography.

- flotzam 4y agoProton also supports cash for renewals/upgrades, but they went out of their way to remove the cryptocurrency option and the cash option during signup...
