When will you add new Payment Methods
0
Starting a subscription-based system with only one payment method available is already retarded,but to start it with credit cards only is the worst thing you could do.
Not even a third have one in my country.Considering that i live in middle europe there are countrys where this number is even lower.
How hard can it be to organize the start of a subscription model better?you could have a t least added one method of online payment.the way it is now is just a disaster.

Debit cards from around the world should also work in many cases, it's not limited solely to "real" credit cards.
But generally speaking, adding payment options when you're selling adult services isn't easy. For example, if we could offer PayPal as a payment option for the subscription, we would, but they outright said "no" to that (they did allow us to use it for selling physical books, however, which is why PayPal is an option with those). Last year we also ran into issues with our Bitcoin payment provider Coinbase, again over selling adult content, and they kicked us out. Another provider we looked into also turned us away because of it, which is why the option of paying with Bitcoin still isn't back (but it will definitely be available again eventually).
Bottom line is that in most cases the problem is that payment services don't want to work with us rather than the other way around, thus why we end up being limited to mainly credit & debit cards and bitcoin.

100% this. If we could offer more payment methods we would. But when it comes to offering digital content / subscriptions for adult material, many services tend to get nervous. For them it's viewed as a high risk partnership. We had plans for PayPal and a pre-paid card service from EU but both eventually declined us, even after initial confirmations and even after we finished writing all the code to process said methods.

Problem for me as a user is though. I don't use a creditcard for anything. Because in Europe where I live I don't need one in almost every service I find online or out on the street. If a creditcard was cheap/free I would get one just for this. But since the monthly subscription cost for me as a student is already pretty fucking high and the credit card also costs 18 euro (which i will only use for this site atm) then that's definetly a no-go for me. If getting a credit card was free I would already be subscribed.
I do hope you find an alternative soon. Because it was already really frustrating to see my fav list wiped now I can't even add anything new and I am ready to pay for it, be it non-creditcard way. :'< sad life

Thought jacob said electron doesn't work, but any visa logo debt or prepaid should?

Where the hell in Europe do they ask that kind of money for a credit card? o_O I got mine years ago exactly for the sole reason of paying for things online without any ridiculous fees.
Banks have started offering debit cards that can be used as credit cards for the purpose of online payments, though, might be worth looking into it, might be available where you live as well.

May i suggest using PayGarden as one of your payment method? It enables users to pay anonymously using major brand giftcards for payment. This could make it easier for those who dont want to use their credit card or paypal for payment

PayPal seems to have no problem linking my Battle.net account and letting me pay that with PP.

I know you've looked into alternate payments, but having worked in the industry I feel there might be a few ways to enable alternate payments you might've overlooked.
https://www.paygarden.com/ works with xsolla to power twitch and other adult video websites using alternate payments (think gift card exchange etc.) - you should reach out if you haven't already, I know they would be excited to work with you.
Edit: YuujinA got to it before me, but consider this a second for Paygarden having worked with them in the past.
Btw - anyone wanting to try a virtual visa can go here: http://www.giftcards.com/virtualgift/build#!/egift/merchant/visa
