I don't think I've seen this sentiment shared by anyone else, so I'll go ahead and share it:

I need a way to pay anonymously. For me, this usually means via Monero. Searches are simply too personal and too habitually unrestrained for me to trust to anyone who can de-anonymize them.

Honestly, in retrospect I'll acknowledge that my intense quest for privacy is more ideological than practical, and it wouldn't likely be a big deal if my searches were leaked or whatnot, but still. I've wanted to pay for Kagi and looked for a way to multiple times, but until I can do so anonymously, it ain't happening.



Maybe they could pull a Mullvad and accept cash via mail.


Mullvad also notably accepts Monero, and if/when emulated, we should encourage and celebrate their comprehensive scope as much as any individual method
