With this release, it became possible to send money to @username.

I would have liked to register @Loyce to receive payments, but isn't 10 GB ($566) a bit much for this gimmick?
For publicity, could you at least make much longer usernames a lot cheaper? Say @PayLoyceV for 1 MB instead of the current 1 GB?

it is a cool feature. but as you wrote a bit expensive. but hey, i dont complain. i just wont use it.

It's also a way of showing appreciation for the project since the raised funds go towards the community fund. Like a donation but with the added benefit of a vanity address. Life long cryptographic proof of username which makes interacting on the network much more user friendly is worth a lot to me. I'm sure many interesting services can be built on top of this feature, like linking your BTC or ETH address or your patreon account. Content platforms or chatbots can integrate it and since the BB wallet can already be used as a "key" to any website, this now can contain identity information and public username as well to be used on the website. Lots of possibilities!
