Some may see this as leading to a long-needed "good riddance" but I still think BP is a good starting-point resource and at least provides eye-candy references.

Also, not sure if this is their approach in Canada.

And, too bad, I guess, to all the advertisers who aren't escorts, etc.

It appears that this is also their approach in Canada.

Theres is always ways around it. For example they can start excepting bitcoin as a method of payment.

It's free for now, according to the email I've received yesterday, the bad part only is that they removed the "Move to the top" option, so if you wish to post the ad, you have to re-write it. And looks like some ads are getting deleted as well.

Some proxy servers accept all sorts of stores cards (such as Walmart...etc) for payment. BP can do the same.

Ya it sucks that the ads are getting deleted. I saw an ad for a black girl that use to go by the name nikki the other day. She has braids and a fat ass would like to see her but the add was removed and cant find her info anymore.

A quick explanation. A Bitcoin is is strictly an electronic currency whose value fluctuates with the market. Haven't looked for a while but for an example if one bitcoin is probably the equivalent of $300 dollars, $15 is equal to a .048 fraction of one bitcoin.

There are several problems with the bitcoin, need to use third parties to open and administer an account ( only two ATMs in Canada to deposit ), don't loose the password as it can't be retrieved again, value fluctuates, any gains are taxable thru CRA. Lot of headaches for small accounts.

It's official as of today you must sign up and trade bitching or pay with paysafe.

I have no idea how to use bitching this looks so complicated!

I downloaded.the bitching wallet and cellusomething
And it says if I buy 15 dollars in this one trade I only get 0.048xxx
Bitcoins. .I don't get that as an ad now is $1.48.

Might just start posting on cl, cerb and terb advertisers. I'm not getting this Bitcoin bullshit.

Hey Alma! I don't have any problems using bitcoin, it's just a long process.

I'm using BitGo as my wallet, you just have to create one and add credits, and to do that you have to use a second website... I'm using QuickBt, found it very safe - you buy credits through Interact, takes up to 2 days. BitGo is also very safe, you have 2 passwords: one for the account and one for the wallet, they will also text you two extras every time you enter the account and wants to send money - without them you cannot make any transaction or access the account.
Once the credit gets into your wallet on BitGo you just have to go to back page, select to pay with Bitcoin, and on your BitGo wallet: go to "send" and add the code they(Backpage) provide( a long ass non-sense of letters and numbers) and put the amount, I'm paying 0.0029 bitcoins.

But again, it is a LONG process.

Honestly, Paysafe seems to be the easiest option, as it's not that much different from buying one of the visa or mastercard gift cards.

You can get them at most Esso's and Canada Post, and you buy them in amounts of 10, 30, 50, etc. and then you get a receipt with a pin that you enter when you pay for your ad.
