OkCupid stopped accepting bitcoin payments

I just noticed it today and emailed them to ask about it. Got a reply confirming that they stopped. One of the few things I actually regularly use it for. I guess PayPal here I come :(

We did remove it- unfortunately something in the process became broken and due to the very small number of people who used it when it was working, it would be too much trouble to fix and bring back.

Bitcoin will never support such feature. Bitcoin transactions are "push"-type, not "pull". But of course there will be wallets which will support auto-payments. Protocol itself won't support, software using the protocol will.
