I have been using PayPal off and on since 2012 for 2 main reasons.
1 - Convenience, I didn't have to enter a credit card every time I purchased from a site other than usual trusted sites where I store my payment information, like Amazon, and sending payments to friends/family was simple.
2 - Peace of mind.
I recently found that the assumption of (2) was wrong, so I fired PayPal. I don't want to get into the details. Beyond being therapeutic, it won't really make life better moving forward.
That brings me to the question, since I have fired PayPal, I am sure that someone will want to send me, or more likely, have me send them money. Before I go out and research the providers on my own, I thought I would come here. What do Soylentils suggest for peer to peer payments?

Is this the same Coinbase that was recently ordered to turn over essentially its entire subscriber list [gizmodo.com] to the national tax agency of the largest of the Five Eyes?

Out of curiosity, does Coinbase make a receiver of bitcoins via email go through an identification process before they can actually get the coins transferred to an arbitrary address? If not, sending somebody bitcoins through email has the unfortunate side-effect of making their email account a juicy target. If so, I'd think there would be obvious downsides (in terms of both ease-of-use and privacy), though I could see other things (ease-of-use when interacting with Coinbase merchants, mayhaps?) making it appealing as a first step. I think I've used Coinbase, but not too recently. My memory of them is foggy, and quite possibly incorrect.
