release is from Dec 2022.
From here Bromite is Dead, Use Cromite Instead I learned about and tried to switch to Cromite
, but on my 32-bit Android devices it is still very unstable.

Yes indeed. It would also work (at least similarly) for the VIC-20 and other Commodore computers 🧑🏫

For micro-transactions I stumbled over the GNU Taler project a while ago.
