But a low, _one-off_ fee, to join _this forum,_ would indeed deter spammers, _and_ trolls (like the guy who persists in taking huge steaming dumps all over the topic about MOLE Training policy anytime anyone contributes). Without deterring too many people who care about participating usefully here. I subsist on a disability benefit, and a small, one-off fee wouldn’t put me off, maybe 1-5 credits (how much and which currency to denominate it in would be up to the @fdroid team).\n\n**EDIT:**\n\nLeonardo:\n\n> I would suggest to accept small registration fees paid in Bitcoin over Lightning.\n>  Because this would allow to handle payments while respecting privacy and the FLOSS philosophy.\n\nI would suggest experimenting with GNU Taler, for the same reason. I believe there’s been some big steps towards adoption of this in the EU, can anyone confirm?",
