Hey thanks! Especially for the MVP, I think you're absolutely right about the abuse part. As for the login/recovery, have you had any experience with signup rates using Facebook/Twitter authentication? Reinventing the login flow seems like a bad idea to me at this point. For billing, I'm examining Recurly and Paypal Subscriptions (although I'm wary of Paypal).

I don't have experience, but I've read this : http://blog.mailchimp.com/social-login-buttons-arent-worth-i... .

I'm rolling my own signup (which is easy enough in Django), but I'd consider doing a Google login. Facebook & Twitter I wouldn't care to implement: My target audience wouldn't want to be mixing their social logins with my service.
