Comment on Vultr doesn't let you use Bitcoin until you've already set up payment using a credit card or PayPal

While not the best thjbg for customers, it helps them reduce fraud and keep the service acceptable.

Since vultr network has a hood reputation, they could be abused to send spam. Having crypto payment only would not prevent them to detect repeat abusers. With a verified payment method they can ID who me they are providing service for.

In an absence of such limitation, abusers can simply create a new email and wallet then get back to abusing.
