Ann: Extension of Voluntary Suspension, page-389

Yeah the payment thing I also felt a bit weird that they would allow Bitcoin but not allow credit cards. I understand they are planning on launching this feature 'soon'. However why wasn't EM1 prepared with CC facilities to take payment as the majority of the potential users would have CC but not as many of them would have a bitcoin wallet.

I would also suspect that all if not 99% of the bitcoin users would have a CC so it wouldn't of limited their potential subscribers by that much... then again it would likely made it hard for those who don't want to leave a digital footprint of funds if they used a CC compared to bitcoin..
