Have you considered adding bitcoin as a payment option? Seriously, it's nearly free and easy to manage, even with the rapid price changes. Plus you get extra attention by adding your store to the growing directory of merchants who accept bitcoin.

I love the idea of bitcoin, but it's not mainstream and startups are risky enough without adopting startup currencies. ;-)

In the grand scheme, bitcoin, (or a derivative technology) could certainly become a game changer in the not too distant future. Accepting bitcoin probably doesn't hurt.
