Sometime recently, something in our setup (or in the bitpay API) changed and left us unable to receive notifications of bitcoin payments. The bad news is the payments still went through but the subscriptions were not rewarded on SoylentNews. We realized the error and credited the accounts (there were only 4 such cases) giving extra subscription time to make up for the error.
Bitcoin subscriptions are temporarily disabled until we can work out exactly what happened and avoid it in the future.
Thank you, and our apologies for any inconvenience.

I'll code in Perl if I can get somebody to pay me for it!
Ironically today at $JAVA_JOB, my paycheck came up a day short. Still waiting for the powers that be in HR to sort that one out. They are telling me even after it's sorted out I probably won't see the money via ACH until Tuesday. If I were paid in Bitcoin, they could get it to me right now!
