Another payment mechanism you can try is e-gold.com. They have been in business for a long time (since before the dot com boom, in fact) and according to their statistics page they have a lot of happy customers. The way this could help you is if there is a money changer that has both a Euro bank account and an e-gold account, then your European fans would be able to give you subscription money right away. It is extremely simple to set up an e-gold account. A few clicks and a couple of text entry boxes and you're done. It is similarly simple to put a "we accept e-gold subscriptions" button on your subscriptions page. They used to have an incentives program where institutional customers (like LWN) would get a kickback for each other new customer they brought in. I'm not sure if they still do. You can always e-mail <pr@e-gold.com> and ask. Full disclosure: I have met the principals behind e-gold on several occasions (Financial Cryptography conference, other cypherpunkly social events) and consider them to be friends. Also I interviewed for the position of CTO in around 1999 or so but didn't hire on. Regards, Zooko
