gollark: Actually, I think billing the v-script creator would work fine.
gollark: You could say "v-scripts"/"t-scripts" or something, if you MUST shorten it.
gollark: Or, well, they can except they lose a minimum of 1KST there *or* I have to add tons of irritating code for fractional billing and interfacing with everything with that and it probably breaks in horrible ways.
gollark: SC and krist itself don't have companies, meaningfully.
gollark: If you had, I don't know, a service which takes krist and sends it back to you a day later for whatever unfathomable purpose, then if someone wants to just feed that 5KST, they can't due to the fee.
