Hi Matt,

thank you for your hints. Before we decided to choose kagi, we checked
several sites / concepts, but neither FairTunes nor potlatch were amoung
these.

Yes, you are right, we should consider further methods. Paypal might be
an option. But for starting the initiative we decided to choose
a method without registration as the most convenient way.

Regarding FairTunes, I could find out their conditions to set up an
account within reasonable time. I think we will check some further
services, e.g. we still need the Euro as a second currency. But all
European services we checked until now had too high rates to make small
payments reasonable.

Cheers,

        Frank
