I would love it if the whole world signed on to SEPA, but I'm not holding my breath. And even if it worked worldwide, I don't want to rely on a payment system that can be used to censor even legal artistic expression (see the recent Steam removals) or political protest (remember the Canadian truckers?).

that's not a technology problem, it's a political problem. You're trying to solve a political problem with technology?

Yes. It's much more effective than solving political problems with politics.
