| Jonathan, Your perspective on costs seems extremely developed-country-centric, and I'd like to suggest you check your (financial) privilege. I don't know where you're from; I'm from the US, but I am well aware of the reality of many open source contributors from countries where the exchange rate against the US dollar is awful. You may not see this sort of cost as a barrier to contribution, but I can assure you that other casual contributors may, and likely would. You have to realize that the cost of the token isn't necessarily the only factor that contributes to the overall cost of obtaining such a device. International shipping costs can easily triple this dollar amount, to say nothing of other associated costs such as import duties, etc. There are plenty of countries where such tokens are not domestically available, and must be shipped from abroad. This just isn't as simple or straightforward as you seem to want it to be. Erecting financial barriers to contribution is dangerous, and has unintended consequences.
