Yeah, unfortunately there are some really big issues nobody has a workable solution to yet:
- There is a vast income discrepancy across the world. For some people $1000 for an Ubuntu copy would be cheap and for others $10 would mean going hungry. Not to mention all the people who have no good way to pay online, such as people without a bank account. (And without a bank account, how do you even get started with cryptocurrency on a minimally powered machine?)
- Ideally the price would be as much as it's worth to each user, but there's no way to determine what each user thinks it's worth (except in a utopia of perfectly honest customers, which presupposes perfectly honest businesses).
- As much as I hate ads they are probably one of the easiest ways to get a relatively steady income stream no matter who the users are.
