Such disappointing news compounds last weeks troubles. When nzbs'r'us shutdown over similar payment problems. Payment is a huge achilles heel for these services. Blocking payments was used to hurt WikiLeaks, and Dutch usenet providers have recently lost the ability to use paypal for payments too. A popular bitcoin-esque service can't happen soon enough.
