BitPass

[elfs]

Does anyone out there have any experience with BitPass, the micropayment system? I'm less than pleased with PayPal these days and would like to use BitPass for donations and the like, since I'm thinking about hosting a fundraiser for my story site sometime soon (yes, that will involve new stories).

Specifically, how well does BitPass work with languages other than Perl? It seems to be Perl- and PHP-oriented, and I'm a Python/Ruby kind of guy.

I'm not thrilled with PayPal myself (for a variety of reasons) but have been sticking with it due to it being commonly accepted. I'd be curious if you're willing to hear your reasons for wanting to get away from PayPal. (I like getting large amounts of data from variant sources.)

I signed up to GreenZap a while ago. It's all still fairly new, but it looks promising.

Be wary - there are many indications of GreenZap being a scam. Google around a bit, people have turned up a lot of weird stuff, and the founder has a history of fraud.

Plus at least some of the major vendors they list on their site have never heard of them.

I work for a company that runs a payment system (http://www.paycash.us/) and many of GreenZap's claims just smell fishy to me - too good to be true.

I have heard of them, but I don't think I've ever heard of anyone using them.

Another one like them that I have heard of people using, and being happy with is http://www.payasyouclick.com/
