No offense, the work put into it is impressive, I just see it being a server killer.

Hopefully, gaming communities using Game-coin.com will use their income to provide a better gaming experience, such as a better website + forum + voice server + lan parties + competitions + prizes + unique paid-for plugins + unique paid-for maps/textures/models, etc.
If they become substantially more fun to play on than free servers, at some point you'll bite the bullet and pay up.

That's already supported. The API is open and any plugin can be very easily modified to check if the player is being billed through Game-coin and grant him privileges, without requiring the whole PayPal & admin intervention process. All a player has to do is log-in to his Game-coin account, see the recent game servers he played on and allow a server to bill him from now on, in a single click. In the future I may add a feature that allows a player to ask for a confirmation SMS right from the in-game menu, and once he replies the server he plays on will be allowed to bill him, without having to alt-tab out of the game.
However, I personally hate such plugins. While I can't prevent them using the Game-coin API, I would rather that people think of Game-coin as "that billing system that's used by top-of-the-class gaming communities to bill by the minute" instead of "that billing system used by scammy gaming communities selling power to 12 year olds".
