Judging from a business-process perspective, if it were up to me (and it's not!) I would elect to do these two options. Direct paypal .... for those that want it now (and they likely have a paypal account). I presume this is pretty easy. Vanilla Yubikeys ... for those who don't want to use paypal (but don't mind waiting). Atop of the base amount of work that the other mechanisms need anyway, this is trivial. In such a case, we then only alienate those who are both paranoid *AND* impatient; plus we give them a choice, and don't require that they obtain the yubikey in any particular way (only that it has the stock identity). What's more, implementing both of these options is probably simpler than implementing *only* a BTC workflow. -- Robert Hailey
