In theory this is really nice (the design and user experience is well done).

But Mumble servers are already so cheap ($1.65 a month for 15 users at the 'gold-standard' host) that I wonder how important this is.

I don't really mind the markup on their upgrades though since I know that it's subsidizing the cost of others. And paying with Bitcoin has to be convenient for some people (though I assume they could grab your IP when you connect to the server if privacy is your main concern anyways).

If you're 15 and want some of your school friends to chat whilst playing a game, this is inifnitely more affordable than trying to convince mum and dad to lay down their credit card.

What is the 'gold-standard' host?

We've used CommandChannel for about 6 years without issue ($0.18/slot/month), but for some reason certs need to be manually renewed. Pinged it with the Mumble client I'm building and got a cert that expired in 2012. something to keep in mind, I suppose.

He probably means Multiplay.
