It will go back into the sending wallet. This is also visible in the transaction history to consider for the future.

We are examining various measures here.

1. First of all these emails of course have an unsubscribe button.

2. We are considering to send only one email per user. Since LibreSelery has the complete transaction history with all emails already used there is this possibility. With the skip_notification we can disable all the following emails. As soon as transactions come back after 30 days we can exclude the following transactions completely.

3. A CI scheduler gives us also the option to run LibreSelery once per month. In this way the number of emails can be reduced in general. I think that this option could be the best for most projects.

It would also increase the total amount that is being sent out what makes the email more interesting.

I'm just a user of Debian and do not know your workflow in development. However, due to its free characteristics, it can be adapted to different wishes.

As long as these are technically possible and comply with the guidelines, we will be happy to help you adapt LibreSelery to different needs:

We also want to encourage other communities to create their own forks to experiment with this concept.

If the user does not have a Coinbase account to that email address, the amount will be deposited there for 30 days, informed by email about that and can withdraw the amount by opening the account.

This is going to spam a lot of people who don't have a Coinbase
account and don't want one. How are you planning on mitigating this?
