from true-name payments on the Internet. The credit card payment system is one 
of the worst things that happened for the user, in terms of being able to 
divorce their access from their identity.'' \\ \hfill --Edward Snowden, IETF 93

detection
+  \item Free software: competitive pricing and support
+  \item Low fees: efficient protocol + no fraud $=$ low costs
+  \item Flexible: any currency, any amount
+  \item Ethical: no fluctuation risk, no pyramid scheme, not suitable for 
illegal business
