I mean, nobody except me paid for the 60 EUR accomodation package 
because today/now we checked both bank account and paypal account

paypal account is also available, but given it is an email we would like 
to avoid giving them publicly and have more spam, if you want it, ask 
for it to me or v15 at battlemesh.org

we are working also in the paypal checkout method that will facilitate 
credit card payment (a method that was available in Rome version v14 too)
