That site looks like it is behind a pay wall - however you can sign up for a 30 day free trial if you would like to watch it for free :) - unfortunately you will have to provide CC information or a paypal account. they also accept bitpay, but im not sure if you can do the free trial if you use bitpay since i did not use this option myself (shameful, i know)

I'm always a bit let down when I see a service like this that doesn't take BTC.  I came across this site hide.me via a banner ad on coinmarketcap.  They offer a dozen methods of payment, all which require your identity.  The FAQ addresses this, but meh.  AFAIK it is just a huge honeypot.  IMO the whole thing is borderline laughable.  I understand this when BTC wasn't available, but it is ubiquitous online now.

Another problem with BTC is that is so difficult to have a subscription model, but thats not a good enough excuse.

edit - sorry for being chronically off topic.

No... I am not going to Chicago, but Toast & HackFisher & some others are.   Too much travel will delay launch.
