For residents of the U.S., PayPal is probably still #1 because it has no receive fees vs. it would cost the equivalent of about a 2% fee (at Coinbase) to change Bitcoin to USD.
Oh yeah, I remember that one. I joined shortly before it collapsed; I think I sent them a small amount like $50 and was around breakeven when the scam was discovered. I think the owner went to prison.
Thank you for the heads-up. Are there any other big ones still going on approaching the level of Traffic Monsoon? Or was that one rare in how huge it got?
Very interesting. There's quite a large jump up from $29.99 per month to $175 per month. I wonder at how many active members surfing each day the $29.99 shared server starts getting overloaded.
