i want to go to #rwc2025 but am a bit bummed that the #iacr only accepts payment via credit cards. that is a serious gatekeeper. and when i ask for an alternative option i'm asked if would not reconsider and find a way to use a credit card. this makes me feel very sad, and i wonder where all the cryptographers disappeared that were into anonymous or payments from a less monopolized system. and no i'm not arguing for any #crapto like bitcoin, simple cash or sepa transfers are totally ok)
