I was able to successfully purchase a month of service using BTC but it's worth pointing out that the point-of-sale interface makes things needlessly difficult; It prevents the user from selecting/copying the destination address to the clipboard -- or at least that's the case with the latest version of Chrome running on Mac.

 

As a general rule, I'm thinking it's not a great idea to throw up hurdles for users who want to send you money.

 

I had take some pretty convoluted steps to gain access to a selectable / copyable version of that address.
