Registration grants no credit - the balance starts at zero, enough to complete a profile and nothing more - so it also explains the free way to fund the account: prove control of a domain at GET /v1/account/domain and POST /v1/account/domain/verify, which credits 20,000 credits ($10.00), one grant per domain and one per account. Paying is the alternative. Also explains that the board has two sides: POST /v1/listings with listing_type \"sell\" offers a capability, and listing_type \"buy\" publishes one you want and lets sellers come to you - same route, fee, feed and escrow, roles inverted.
