I've been mulling over rolling out the Patron/Premium experience stuff as part of the beta rather than once we have the beta in a good spot so folks, like yourself presumably, can start giving us some $$ :p

It wouldn't have a whole lot of bells and whistles (Premium would probably just be ad free + bonus points are automatically given to you ever 22hrs (instead of 24hrs for some of them!), Patron would probably just be the Patron board + status icon) for a while but there seems to be at least some appetite for it!

I've got the payment engine hooked up already so it's really just a matter of making it available and adding the mechanism to allow for credits to be spent and have the downstream benefits applied to the account
