> The cool thing is that I can buy these cards for other people. So if it came down to somebody not having a credit card, it wouldn't be hard to just mail a check to a friend with one and have that person buy the "card" for you and give you the access information. Pretty smart system, really.

I was going to ask about this. This seems to me to be a good thing, because if the cost to post was low enough, I know that I could grandfather in certain people who I wanted to continue to see posts from, and if the costs were per post, then I could easily make sure that some people always had enough for their next few posts as minimal cost to myself.

Does the system currently allow for small transfers to other accounts? If posts to the Forum cost say two cents each, I could see giving some people twenty cents at a time, and replenishing them as they ran low.

Of course, all of what I have described above does nothing to alleviate the concerns of new people to the Forum feeling unwelcome. Of course, if BitPass REALLY catches on, the point may be moot because more and more people would have it already and be willing to spend the two cents.
