Hi Tarsnap users, It looks like there have been a few cases recently where a bitcoin payment hasn't managed to "attach" itself properly to an account. I think this is due to the propagation taking longer than the website javascript spends polling the Stripe payment backend but I'm not entirely certain about this.
I'm currently suffering from a deluge of emails (turns out that a blog post from Patrick McKenzie saying that I shouldn't have cut prices results in even more people signing up for Tarsnap than the price cut did, and most of my email comes from new users) so I may be a bit sluggish in dealing with these -- but if you tried to pay with bitcoin and it doesn't seem to have worked within a few minutes please send me an email and I will track it down. In the mean time, unless you have a particular reason for wanting to use bitcoin, I recommend credit card payments as a more reliable option until I can get this ironed out. -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
