The UHF app on our Apple TVs & iOS devices and the UHF Server in Docker to act as a PVR gives us everything for a few $ a month paid in crypto.

This is a long solved problem. Round the final bill up or down to the nearest 5 or 0.

US military in Europe did away with pennies in 1980. The only place you could use a penny was the Post Office.
