Hopefully this doesn't seem too harsh... :-) This isn't really too exciting for me, at least, because BitPay requires users to give their name, removing one incentive to use Bitcoin in the first place (the opportunity for privacy, although Bitcoin isn't private "by default"). I understand that, like EFF, ThinkPenguin is probably concerned about financial regulations. I'll probably just use the other pay options in the future. Andrew.
