If it would be limited to On Chain transaction’s, then there would be privacy problems.
But if F-Droid accepts Lightning payment’s, the paying person would be in a very good privacy position.

> For example, AFAIK GNU Taler can be used with crypto-tokens as well as fiat currencies (eg €/$/GBP/INR). So in theory, if F-Droid set up a Taler storefront to charge a one-off fee to join this forum, it could be paid using BitCoin, but also any other token people happened to have.
Taler is also great.
But as far as I know its only really enrolled in Switzerland, and even there, only experimental.
If its enrolled, it should also be added as a payment option.
