  "textContent": "> I believe they already have. Cash payments as they currently do.\n\nWell, as I said…\n\n> Having a way that’s not linked to an account would be very useful because you could send from your home address and even declare to customs without that information being linked to your account. If the letter is intercepted, your account also will not be revealed. I would be supportive of them adding this.\n\nAgain, imagine you are in a dictatorship, so they can read any letter they want and will intercept any outgoing letters that have undeclared cash. The dictatorship is now guaranteed to get your account name when you send cash, even if the name wasn’t personally identifiable.\n\nI think you’re also missing that you cannot use cash or a voucher to pay for a new account. You either are paying by credit card / paypal or you creating a free account to send cash to at a later date. This means you will at least briefly have two free accounts. My idea here was to use the proxystore voucher to reduce this time as much as possible, down to minutes, but this still means you are violating TOS for a few minutes.\n\nI do think cash payments as they currently exist will work for most of the small number of people who want anonymous payments, but it could be improved further.",
