I will politely disagree. You don't need to charge for access if you control access. I have been part of many comminuties online over ~30 years that didn't charge but had very little spam out scammers because access and culture was such that it was very self-regulating.

But, I'm not saying you shouldn't charge. You are providing direct, quick access in an unprecedented manner that prioritizes those who have laid out significant fiat for your hardware. Having thought about that more over the last day, I've come to see why it us ultimately a good thing to do what you are doing for the sustainability of Start9.
