When I first decided to buy a premium membership, I backed out of the transaction a number of times because the process--and the interface--felt antiquated, unsafe, and slightly invasive. It ultimately took me around three months to pull the trigger, and even then, it was with some trepidation. I doubt I'm the only person who felt that way. Don't get me wrong: I fully appreciate the need to encourage whitelisting, but consider revising and updating the subscription process as well. Having to track down a forum post where a moderator tells people to "write in Mickey Mouse" is a fairly convoluted way to satisfy concerns, and while most websites do everything they can do remove barriers between customers and their money (see: Amazon One-Click), the Nexus has an entire page lodged in the middle requesting personal information it doesn't actually need. That's e-commerce insanity. Obviously it won't make a huge dent in your financial requirements, but streamlining your subscription model and adding a few payment alternatives could help take some of the load off.
