if F-Droid accepts Lightning payment’s, the paying person would be in a very good privacy position.

Sounds OK to me. Lightening is widely used on Nostr and elsewhere, and it wouldn’t hurt for the F-Droid project to build some bridges with those folks. Accepting Lightening payments could lead to more donations in general to F-Droid.

It would benefit F-Droid and its community and people who don’t want to use it, don’t have to

Taler is also great. But as far as I know its only really enrolled in Switzerland

… for use with fiat currency. Because to convert a fiat currency into Taler tokens for anonymous payment purposes, the Taler storefront has to be able to accept payment from a bank account. But AFAIK any Taler storefront can accept any non-fiat currency with no dependence on the legacy banking or online payments system.

So someone could set up a Taler mint that can be loaded up Bitcoin, Monero or Paysafecard?

Would be nice to have as an additional option

Although now that I think about it, it may not be possible to convert Taler tokens back into useful currency without the same dependencies on the banking system. Because it’s designed to preserve the privacy of the customer while exposing the payments received by merchants to traditional audit processes. In which case F-Droid would need a Swiss bank account to convert Taler tokens back into a currency they can actually use.

Yes and since the ecosystem for Taler is barely existing, you also cant use it to buy other things without converting it
