I wonder why someone would trust "McDumpals" with their payment information to subscribe and purchase items, given that it is a site dedicated to stealing payment information?

(Just kidding, I know it's obviously because they aren't using a broken, insecure payment mechanism for transactions, like our credit card system.)




Because they're using bitcoins, you don't have to give them your payment information. They gave you their address, and you send the money over.

I feel like that's the point you were making with that last sentence, but I missed the sarcasm until typing all the above out.


Bitcoins, WebMoney, WesternUnion, Liberty Reserve, although most of them have been phased out for BTC.
